Déjà vu has happened to me many times over the years. I never see something in a dream that will happen the next day, but years ahead of time, and most of the time it is a person or couple of people and then some insignificant occurence. Then when it happens and they say the phrase I heard in my dream it will trigger the dream back to me. It seems I don't really remember seeing them ever until that happens too. It is very wierd. I wish I could see things closer together though so I would know what to expect, lol.

yes, it is possible. What u are experiencing is called deja vu
The sense of déjà vu (French for “seen before”) is the strange sensation of having been somewhere before, or experienced your current situation before, even though you know you have not. One possible explanation of déjà vu is that aspects of the current situation act as retrieval cues that unconsciously evoke an earlier experience, resulting in an eerie sense of familiarity. Another puzzling phenomenon is the sense of jamais vu (French for “never seen”). This feeling arises when people feel they are experiencing something for the first time, even though they know they must have experienced it before. The encoding specificity principle may partly explain jamais vu; despite the overt similarity of the current and past situations, the cues of the current situation do not match the encoded features of the earlier situation.

It's happened to me a few times, but then I start to wonder if it's just coincidence. I also wonder if I just kind of know what kind of day it's going to be--and it just turns out to be that way. :)

I'm sure to some extent, people can predict what is gonna happen.
