It'd be neat if somebody could prove that effect by making art of the dream image and then being able to tangibly show the resemblance when they visit the place later.

Until then, though, I'm gonna assume it's something more like the brain overwriting the memory of the dream with the image of the real place after the fact, and the person having no way of knowing that happened.

It's basically just this.

The temporal lobe is responsible for locating memories in time. Sometimes it can 'relocate' a memory you're in the process of making into the past. Making you think it is a genuine past memory.

Hence dejavu.
