Is it common to dream future events?

Question

Unfortunately, I often do not remember the dreams until I'm in the present moment and it dawns on me that I dreamed the thing I was looking at or saying a few nights before. Usually though, when it happens I'll be looking at a ceiling fan or an object or place I had never been before that day and I will realize that I was viewing that same object or event in a dream I had and as I look around after seeing that object for the next few seconds I will know as it occurs everything I witness about 2 seconds ahead of when it does. It is sort've like the experience the main character has in Final Destination, though mine only give me about 6 seconds of insight at the most. 

I've heard before that some scientists explain this on websites as the person having a double take of stimulus. Something doesn't go right and I end up feeling that I've experienced this before. I went with this explanation for a while till I got one long enough that I literally started a conversation with my friend knowing what I'd say and what they'd say in response to exact detail, sound and how it would look, for the next 6 seconds.

I'm wondering if this event is common. Has anyone else had this happen and how often is it that people have this occur in society? Is there any study that has ever addressed this thing occuring?

I frequently wake up having seen the future in my dreams; but not quite the way that you are describing it.  If you want to increase your ability; then I would recommend taking up meditation and getting to sleep early.  It is a handy thing to always keep a pen and notepad handy in case you want to record what you have experienced and the time of it as well.

some human beings can try this as a results of they're in a position to envision the character and in nature there is something like previous, present day and further, all are present day and we human use the time those shot of brand and measurement. You consciously or unconsciously are in a position to envision the character, bearing directly to distinction in human- each and every human are unique no longer basically you or same different you.
