Not because of my experience.

After rereading my Post, I understand how you could interpret my comments the way you did. However I did not mean to imply that I dismiss predictive deja vu because it never happened to me.
I dismiss it because I attribute all claims, anecdotes, et cetera relating to predictive abilities as coincidence (most likely), faulty memory, hallucination, retro-fit of events to prediction (EG: Nostradamus), deliberate exaggeration (lying), non-deliberate lying, stage magic.
In general, I do not view anecdotes as evidence. If I had some miraculous experience, it might convince me of the existence of occult phenomena, ESP, et cetera. However, I would not expect my telling of the experience to convince anybody else, and would not present it as evidence.
