Momentum is more fun from the perspective of a physics programmer. There's all sorts of stuff you can do with it -- think about Portal, for example; that's a momentum game. Though you could also do narrative momentum if you're a writer, setting things up so they keep moving.

Deja vu was the subtle joke, because it was also in the day 1 voting options... "Haven't I seen this theme before?"

Dreams is one that I'm not too fond of as a developer because it really doesn't inspire any particular game mechanic to play with. It's just a description of the setting, and those are always the hardest for me. My first game jam the theme was "Ancient Technology" and that was awful. (Though the game we made turned out okay!)
