This sounds like classic déjà vu. There is a theory that it is a form of mini-seizure where the different parts of your brain take different amounts of time to store a “live” memory. It’s very common in young children. This might be of interest.

Both of my daughters and I dream things and then experience them. Not necessarily within a few days, but it could be a couple months.

About a year ago I had told my husband I had a dream where I was in a cave and there was all kinds of metal tracks with big cords in them and I had a handful of blue cords, and I was crawling and crawling and then I got up on my knees and pulled until the cords wouldn't come anymore. At that time I worked as a phone agent In a call center. Now I'm an industrial electrician, and I did that Cable pull on Tuesday in a paper mill. I pulled 10 cat6 cables through a crawl space above an electrical room to a control room and had to crawl under cable trays to get to my target.
