Reply to comment by mugenhunt in eli5: why do we have those moments where we are like “i remember this exact moment happening before” by Randoms_potato123

I also experienced a moment where I realized that this particular event already happened and as I try to recall it where and when I remembered that it was from one of my dreams.

That's again very likely a deja vu, your brain just mapped your real world to a memory of a dream.
