Is it? Because very often and out of nowhere I get a sense saying "you done this before remember" or if a thought comes up and I feel like I thought it before but I never really did and in dreams I feel like that actually happened to me once but I just can't remember the whole thing. Is it actually possible to remember small parts of the past life of one? This all happens to me very often and it's unpredictable when it happens, because out of nowhere it just happens...

There are several possible explanations for what is occurring during a déjà vu experience. One possibility is simply the occasional mismatch made by the brain in its continuous attempt to create whole sensical pictures out of very small pieces of information. Looking at memory as a hologram, only bits of sensory information are needed for the brain to reconstruct entire three-dimensional images. When the brain receives a small sensory input (a sight, a smell, a sound) that is strikingly similar to such a detail experienced in the past, the entire memory image is brought forward. The brain has taken the past to be the present by virtue of one tiny bit of sensory information. It is this mismatch of past and present sensory information that causes the sense of disconcertment and unease associated with a passing déjà vu. This theory provides a satisfactory explanation for the physical effects of déjà vu. These appear to be similar to the effects of mismatch between sensory input and corollary discharge signal information to the brain. It does not, however, seem to provide sufficient answers to individual (even my own) accounts of déjà vu, where the memory image pulled up is not necessarily from a true past event.

Yes I have when I was younger. There is a name for this and it’s called Déjà vu. The word is pronounced (dA-"zhä-'vü) according to Merriam-Webster online. Webster also gives the following definition:
1 a: the illusion of remembering scenes and events when experienced for the first time
b: a feeling that one has seen or heard something before
2: something overly or unpleasantly familiar
I also used to think or feel like I had been in a place or a situation before when I knew deep down that I had not. In my experience it felt very unreal, like I was in some kind of dream state but I was awake. I don’t remember when I first experienced this but when I asked my mother about this feeling she told me that I was experiencing Déjà vu, back then.
Déjà vécu translated means 'already seen' or 'already lived through and according to wikipedia (the web site.) Déjà vu is very common and formal studies have reported that 70% or more of the population have reported experiencing at least once usually between ages 15 to 25, when the mind is still subject able to noticing the change in environment.
The experience is usually related to a very banal event (banal meaning commonplace and predictable) but is so striking that it is remembered for years afterwards
For more information on this interesting subject I will recommend the following Internet sites on the subject, some of which I received further information. Wikipedia and Howstuffworks are two excellent sites on the subject along with the direct URL.

Yes. It's happened to me a lot. The first one I remember was the New York World Fair. I was a small child. We went into a skyscraper to go to the bathroom & I knew where it was. I had never been to NY before that. As you said, it's always small things. I also meet people for the first time & feel that I've known them before & liked them or didn't.

No. While we all existed be we were born, reincarnation is not real. In reality we progress from one state to another. What our previous state was really like nobody has any real details except that we existed, we had a form similar and recognizable to the form we have now and we interacted with each other. This is our one and only experience in the mortal flesh.
Could you be remembering some of that pre-mortal life? I suppose that is possible.

No, but sometimes I feel like I'm not in my own body? Sort of? Like, I'll be looking in a mirror and feel like I'm looking at someone else. Or sometimes I'll be with someone I know, like my mom, and feel like she's a stranger. It's so weird, it only lasts a couple minutes maybe. I think these kind of things are just one of the weird things our brain does, like deja vu.

Nope, once around is all you get. The imagination is sometimes quite strong, but it is still just imagination. Make the most of what you've got, because that's it. No past life and no future life.

It is possible I would have thought to have memories of past lives.
You should have a read up on it. Check this out and click on reincarnation:

Probably. They say that anything is possible, so this could probably happen too.
