I think the word you are looking for is Deja Vu. I've had it several times but the events in consequence were small scale. I think if you want to be able to truly remember the future time would have to be cyclical :D

This is my process to resolve the question:
DEFINITIONS
The future is a temporal selection out of infinite options that become present events and things, which settle as a permanent past. The temporal selection is fact.
The mind is that which remembers. It manipulates and stores information. Information is based on facts. For the mind to remember something or some event that event or thing must return to the mind, after having come to the mind once.
CONSIDER
Since the future is a finite temporal selection and a fact to occur, then it is information, which can be gathered.
CONCLUSION:
As long as there is a source for gathering information about the finite temporal selection (or the future), then it may be brought into the mind once, and then remembered inside of the mind.
Therefore, the answer is yes.
The future can be remembered.

Yes, it is possible to remember the future. Anything that does not belong to the past and to the present is future. We do not know what will happen in the future but it is right to prepare for it. We should learn from the experiences of the past and must grow more with wisdom, so that when we encounter the same things in the future, we can act wisely. Our efforts today must be designed for the future that we still have to live.Any effort done with good intentions will surely reap good things in the future if not in the present.

Only if you've been there. And perhaps to be sure, you might have to carry a return ticket, stamped at the other end. Of course now is the future of yesterday. So perhaps if you can remember what you just did that would prove you can remember the future. (Am I going up the stairs or down the stairs). But by then it's the past anyway, so that gets us nowhere, does it. Still, wherever and whenever it is, it's alright by me.

The psychologist Helen Wambach, began workshops in hypnotism to research whether her volunteers could 'remember' the future. She and a colleague assumed that as any large company depended upon forecasts of trends in the future, and employed highly placed members of their team to provide projections, they hoped to prove that ordinary individuals might improve on their performance. Dr Wambach believed in the extraordinary capability of ordinary people under a light trance. She died before all the data was co-ordinated, but her colleague published their findings in a book called "Mass Dreams of the Future". Where Dr Wambach was noted for her scepticism, Dr Snow appears to be more gullible, but the whole report is disturbing.

When we step outside the time dimension, we realise that everything that is happening is happening right now, so stepping completely in the Now, allow us to access any moment in the continuum called time. We can step into any 'time'.
This phenomenon is more common than we think, when we step into the now, unconsciously and therein access a random moment in the future, we call this experience a deja vu. It really is a memory of the future, remembered!

Back to the future, eh? The mind has some quirts that give off premonitions about things to happen. However, true remembering is not one of these peculiar aspects. The future is yet to happen and can be changed by the choices made, so how can we be positive that that is what we remember or dream??

As remembering is thinking of past events, and events of the future have yet to happen, I would say no. Unless some sort of time traveling is involved.

It is possible to remember the future if your future is your past
What I wonder is if we have lived this life before....why can we at times know whats going to happen is it pure coincidence or something far greater

"remember" i don't believe is the proper word, but I occasionally find myself having premonitions, and actually noticing whats going to happen momentarily before it happens, its uncommon, but i believe you can "see" parts of the future.... however, i can't explain it.
