Partial seizures with temporal foci come in so many flavours that it's hard to imagine any one sort that could be called "classic!" :-) (One could say that some symptoms are "classic," though, such as olfactory hallucinations and deja vu.)
Lawrence, could you say more about what you describe as "deja vu" feelings? The dream flashbacks are interesting. Anybody else have these, and if so, what causes them?

In simple partial seizures, yes. Complex partial seizures (which can be localised in the temporal lobe) do include changes in level of consciousness.
