Déjà vu describes the false memory of having already lived through an experience. I wonder if much of precognition can be explained as a false memory of having made a prediction that conforms to a later experience, generated by the attempt to recall expectation conformance.

My pet theory: deja vu happens because we have actually 'lived' a similar instance in our dreams at some point. But this is also why it's so rare. The odds of our dreams being similar to the future and meeting a threshold for recognition, is very low.

It diminishes with age, and it can apparently be triggered with certain experimental procedures. I think it is just a false positive match, without even a matching (but perhaps a similar) memory existing before the event.
