      These are all interesting questions;

      First, if you die in your dream then you do NOT die in real life, in fact it was thought by Sigmund Freud to be symbolic of new life or believing your life was going to change, perhaps for the better, not die!

      Nobody really understands de ja vu, it’s thought that perhaps very similar memories in the brain become confused and fuse as the same event, it’s usually just that you’ve seen or heard something very similar before and it seems like the same thing because the brain only stores these parts separately, putting them back together can create a memory that seems like reality.

      No one knows the answer to this question either really, some people have reported it but it could be that this is now such a popular answer for death that lots of people imagine they have. Like with UFOs, reports of abduction from UFOs only increased dramatically after the first few people described it and it was published in newspaper reports!
