Dreaming About the Future: A Look at Precognitive Dreams

Have you ever had a dream and within the next day or so experience events or elements from that dream in real life? This is something that almost everyone experiences from time to time. It is quite possible that it happens to everyone. The thing is that we simply don't remember many of the dreams that we have each night. In fact, people usually only recall the dreams that they are having just before they wake up. Are these dreams truly precognitive in nature? That is to say, are we actually capable of seeing events from the future in our dreams? It certainly seems like it is a possibility given the number of people who claim to experience this phenomenon.
