Dreams are perhaps one of the most widely researched since ancient times. All ancient civilizations, including those that exist today such as Indians and Chinese, among others, have different meanings for dreams and what we see while dreaming. Scientifically, dreams are just an "adapted" playback of our own emotions, fears as well as wellbeing. For example, we get nightmares if we are scared of something OR even when we are sleeping in an uncomfortable position OR there is some internal or external factor irritating us while sleeping- such as the urge to pee or too much heat or cold in the room. Broadly, dreams are used by the body also as a warning mechanism.
Similarly, some people have a "gift" for which there are no scientific explanations, about why some dreams come true. It could be the brain's own system to warn or alert us about something significant that will happen in our life. Probably because the brain is aware of the circumstances surrounding us in a subconscious way. Yet, more mysterious are dreams that come true for no apparent reasons. There are no scientific explanations for this.
I have been lucky to be forewarned or alerted by dreams and hence, I take them very seriously.

Some people might believe that your brain's subconscious is using dreams to help you realize things but realistically dreams are very random thoughts, burst of brain activity that you interpret into a dream. Most likely it is just a coincidence that you had a dream about something and it just happened to happen later.

because dreams have aspects of your life in them.
also because they are mental projections of what you want your life to be.
it's not unusual - heck, it's probably likely - for a dream to become realized.

That's where the term "de ja vu" came from. We all experience this from time to time. It's a curiosity, isn't it?
