A few months ago I had a dream in which I walked into a massive library. I don’t remember many details but I do remember what the library itself looked like. Large staircases, seemingly endless rows of bookshelves, multiple floors, etc. Today I was looking at random places on Google Earth for fun, and I zoomed in Alexandria, Egypt. Then I had the idea of trying to see where the Library of Alexandria was, and I stumbled on Alexandria Bibliotecha, a huge, commemorative contemporary library that was built to celebrate the Library of Alexandria from antiquity. I went to street view and clicked on the building, and it showed a panoramic of the inside of the library. For some reason I experienced a sense of Deja vu and then realized I felt like I had seen it before. That’s when I remembered the dream I had months ago.
I know it’s a long shot but it caught me off guard because of how similar it looks, down to extremely small details. To note, I’ve never seen a picture of the inside of this library before so I don’t think my dream constructed that space from memory

Well, maybe you have not seen a picture of it, but maybe you have. This particular example you describe, I just watched a YouTube video of exactly the location you describe, and a woman named Dorothy Eady who claimed to be a reincarnation of a Pharroh's mistress. In fact, you describe this so much on the money of the video, it's like you just watched the video 10 minutes before you posted about this "dream".
Here's the video:

So, maybe you saw the same video, or a similar vid, or read a book, and just do not remember that.
Or, maybe you used to live in Ancient Egypt, as well.
Or maybe this posting is your attempt at a harmless prank.
It does not really matter what we think, does it?
It only matters what you think.
Wow, that’s so interesting! I’ve never even heard of that woman and I don’t really believe in past lives or things like that, but I just thought it was a strange coincidence. I tend to have Deja vu connected to dreams quite a bit too, as in my brain convinces me I’ve dreamt of a certain place or event that I’m currently at irl. But I’m 100 percent sure I’ve never even heard of or seen this library before today so I’m not really sure either way. Thanks for the insights though!
P.S.: I love the Why Files!
