I experience intense moments of deja vu probably 2-3 times a year. I'm 90% sure it's connected to dreams for me, because even on one occasion, waking up, I made the mental note "remember this intensely specific dream, and see if you get deja vu", and I actually did, in the middle of a presentation. I'm guessing it's because when dreaming my mind goes through a vast volume of possible scenarios, so statistically I'm bound to encounter something that it's internally 'rehearsed.' Maybe I sleep too much though, perils of freelancing.

Unless you write it down, it could simply be your brain fooling itself, pretending you took a mental note. I had the exact same hypothesis, and so I started writing down the details of my hyper-real dreams. So far none of it came back in the déjà vu form. In fact, if it turned to be real, it would have far reaching consequences on the nature of reality.
