Sorry I'm not to familiar with these terms and what the differences are, but I find myself on this sub because I sometimes experience super strong deja vu. But usually it's not how most people describe it. Frequently I realize I have 'been here before' but there is one key difference that my mind predicts is about to happen and it doesn't happen or happens differently. Alternatively something major is changed in said deja vu.
As an example since I don't think I'm explaining this very well: A while back I was sitting down in my living room and got a super strong sense of deja vu, in my realization that I had 'been there before' my mind reminded me that 'last time' an armed robber emerged from the corner and shot at me. I got flooded with a sense of fear as I swivelled my head to where the masked man would emerge, just to find my mother walking by.
I'm just trying to figure out why my deja vu will play out this way and how it would affect my emotions so strongly.
Anyways thank you for any help figuring this out, this stuff is really uncanny but so cool to learn about.

I have had this happen before too!! Where my dream that I had had a different ending and it was so confusing.
Deja Reve is when you feel like you have dreamed about something you are experiencing
Deja Vu is where you feel like you have already experienced an event or place
