Twice it's happened now!  Twice my deja vu's and my dreams have collided to become a passing experiences called my reality.

The latest replayed event was of myself gazing fondly at a small black dog who I knew liked to bite me as he scampered around my legs.  During the deja vu, what triggered the recollection of my dream was the brilliance of the sunlight and the warm feelings about the moment as I kept a watchful eye on my newest family member.  While that deja vu was an exact replay, the freaky part was I was able to correlate the occurrence to a dream that had transpired nearly a year before without it being in a dream journal. Has this happened to anyone else-a deja vu being a clear cut memory from a dream?   

Most of my AP attempts have been freaky/painful.  It feels like I'm having a heart attack so I back away.  I read somewhere that the feeling will pass if you simply calm down, but it seems to real to stay calm through it.  Is there any sure fire way to avoid that type of transition?  The few times I had a smooth transition I couldn't recall there being any differences between what I had done prior to exiting.
