It’s not likely that he would look ugly in the dream, if he did.
Done that as well. Sometimes when spelling out a word I've used everyday for 50 years, I stop and stare at it and think.... naw... too simple, is it really spelled that way? The word "been" comes to mind...
Presque vu - translated as "almost seen", this is the sense of being on the edge of an epiphany or realisation, for example recalling a memory.
We called them brain-farts.
Déjà entendu - translated "already heard", this is the sense of feeling sure you have heard something before, like a snippet of conversation or a musical phrase.
Would this be typical of annoying people who insist on finishing your sentences?
My favorite mind experience though is something that has been ongoing for 20+ years. I wind up in the same dream 2 or 3 times a month. I'm in this awesome house with a walkout lower floor that looks out across a bay. I feel like I consciously know that I am dreaming and tell myself to look behind the door that I didn't get a chance to open the last time I was there...
I keep a sketch pad nearby and when I wake up, I'll add some more info to my floor plan and even jot down a few reminders of other things to look for next time. I have a CAD program and have been building a little library of layouts. It would be pretty cool to build it some day. Even have a name for it if I ever take the opportunity to do so.
Yeah - that’s why I started writing it down I thought it might be just “close” but not perfect. I was sorta like “cool” when it was verbatim.
Wondering now if I’ve got those notebooks stashed in a chest somewhere...I tended to be a packrat with stuff like papers an stuff...
Beat me to it.
Maybe he feels like he’s encountered it all before because he has. When you pay attention long enough you realize the news is insanely cyclical, there’s a bunch of stories that happen at the same time every years. Whether it’s the Best Black Friday Ever, or the Worst Holiday Shopping Season Ever, and then there’s the annual Worst Flu Season ever which used to be in early November but has shifted to late December, and of course every year starts off telling us last year was the hottest ever. Then on the bi-annual cycle of politics as the mushy middle waves back and forth in highly predictable patterns that cause the White House to switch sides every 8 years and the party of the president to take a bath every mid-term.
Really there’s nothing wrong with somebody thinking they’ve seen this news before. The ones that need help are the ones that read today’s news and don’t realize it’s recycled.
Deja vu means there’s a glitch in the Matrix.
I’m surprised no one has thought of him possibly being in a moebius like the one mentioned in Star Trek.
“There is the theory of the moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop, from which there is no escape. When we reach that point, whatever happened will happen again.”
-Lieutenant Commander Worf, Star Trek: TNG, “Time Squared”

Read the Koran. It's all the proof you'll need.
You win. That's pretty cool.
don’t forget the pack of razor blades.
a couple hours of O speechifications
and
he won’t need the razor blades
he’ll find a way to suicide without any further assistance
I have no recollection of it. Many can say that and blame pharmaceuticals. My excuse is I was 9 months old.
