To recapture the past that is yet to come would be called living. In essence, we are remembering the future every moment of our lives.
The second you experience, you are capturing the moment at the same time as processing the experience, at which time you are recapturing the moment (remembering).

What a great and provocative question.
I suppose that the answers your going to get are going to be directly related to the mass conception of the nature of time.
...from the average perspective, time is a contestant, linear thing; each day only happens once and you remember yesterday. From these observations it's pretty easy to say, well, no, it's impossible to remember the future, we haven't seen it yet.
There absolutely are other perspectives.
What if, your immediate conscious awareness was all there is?
then past and the future then are just thoughts you experience in this immediate moment.
If you think about the past. you're there.
If you think about the future. you're there.
if you've thought about the future, then remember what you thought about.. bingo! you've remembered the future.
Before you dismiss this right away, think about history.
have you ever heard two sets of history provided by opposing educational systems? or dare I say it, religions?
if you accept anything you're told in school or your place of worship as fact - then you're buying into ONE version of a history that literally may or may not have happened.
and since we can never relay every aspect of immediate reality, you essentially believing a story; a dream.
If you can believe the dream of the past. you can believe the dream of the future.

Well we can remember it, but the problem is, life is like a spider web and the possible outcomes for the future are in the millions. You may very well remember the future, but it wont necessarily happen. It all depends on the choices we all make in the present.

The word Remember is only for the past and present, future is a dream and prediction, innumerable thoughts will occupy the mind, but what is the assurance we will live the next moment..

Because the future has not happened yet! :-) Memories and remembering is thinking about past events and moments in our lives.

why did you ask this question? I mean...usually we can imagine what to expect if we have plans we can think ahead but...you can't actually REMEMBER anything unless it's a MEMORY, and a MEMORY is of something that has already happened, a MEMORY is from the PAST...not the future.

Because it has not happened yet. But We CAN shape the future, remember the past, and live the present. ^_-

The 4th dimension has not cycled at 3 htz 5 watts on the interfacing with the Shumann Resonnence at 7.8 m.tz. You would be advised to conentrate relative to the main beam interface, at 450mhtz or 150 mhtz, as used by the development of secret agencies.

I think we do - the future is what we dream at night - we just can't comprehend the messages we receive from out subconscious - unless you have the ability, then you are called a prophet.

The future is NOT the future until it happens.
