Exactly this.
It's the most bizarre feeling in the world imo.
For me it's something happens and then I just suddenly start dissociating and getting the feeling that this has already happened and I know what's coming next.
The really odd thing is that the majority of the time, what I think's coming next actually happens next. Heh, the trouble is that it's pretty mundane things and is only a couple of minutes into the future.
Although what I think may be a possibility, since I don't believe it's actually premonitions, is perhaps the dissociation causes some kind of fracture in my perception of time and I know what happens next because it's already happened in real life whilst I've been spaced out. My periods of missing time would smooth over me catching back up when I'm not so badly dissociated.
Or of course it could accumulate and I'm constantly living in some strange bubble where it's a couple of minutes in the past and to everybody else I'm just really slow and dopey - This could explain why I feel so odd a lot of the time, heh.
