With the disclaimer that I really don't know what I'm talking about...I once had a friend who was a neuroscience researcher. He described the phenomenon of deja vu as something that happens when the brain confuses a long-term memory "address" (let's say 450927) with a short-term memory address (450926). The result is that the short-term memory feels long-term, even though it is brand new.

That sounds plausible, but think about what deja vu feels like....you are doing something or are somewhere and you know you had at one time done that something or were at that location before, but you can't really find it in either the short term or long-term memory... deja vu doesn't feel like long-term memory it feels as if it never happened but you can almost swear that it did.
It is such a weird feeling. My theory...proven only once out of 5000+ (a guess) times in my life, is that it comes from dreams, which typically are lost in your subconscious until something triggers them to the surface. Based strictly on probability, that seems more likely. BUt who knows, maybe we are all a little prescient.
