I haven't read this thread, but you're not psychic. Nobody is. It's also probably news to you that Santa doesn't exist.
maybe, maybe not, I once though i had the ability to push thoughts into other people's head and i could list various examples like how one time i was thinking "i want taco bell" and shortly after my parents and i were on our way to taco bell with out me saying a single word, and to this day i still feel it happening, but i digress. there is no way for any of us to either confirm or disprove any of what you say, the same goes for me, but assuming you're right and you are precognitive then i wouldn't worry about it to much seeing as it doesn't appear that you are "predicting" any major events, and if you do then simply talk to a priest or other christian religious figure, seeing as you're christian, and they should be happy to help.
The same thing happens to me. It's Deja Vu. Not to mention that considering the random crap our brain does in our dreams I wouldn't be surprise if every once in a while it gets something right. That said, when you dream your long term memory doesn't work (that's why you forget them so quick and you can never remember that much of them they are only in your short term memory which is quickly "overridden"). I don't think dreams really can be remembered (at least not much of them.
Don't flatter yourself man. You're not psychic. No such thing. And I would love somebody to prove me wrong so I can finally become a diabolist hunter... That would be sweat. Fuck all that crazy devil shit, thinkin there all that. I'll be a dark mage or a monk. Use my powers to do whatever i want. And I'll carry a big-ass mother fuckin Zweihänder. sorry, got totally off subject there. But I still think psychics belong in the fantasy world I just described.
Dreams aren't all weird and crazy shit, you know, they're limited by what we know and where we've been (if only in pictures). As an added bonus, your subconcious is specifically designed to help you believe that the dream is reality as an added protection against realizing you're asleep and waking up in the middle of it. This is one way that deja vu may be coming into it.
Maybe you're just good at predicting your patterns, or maybe you really do have the strange ability to see snap shots of the future. My mom (who is otherwise a very scientific, down-to-earth and sensible woman) truly believes that she has predicted via dreams every one of the major deaths in her life, so I'm far from unbiased, but I always allow room for things that don't seem to make sense or aren't commonly realistic just in case I'm wrong. It doesn't seem a particularly helpful gift so far if it is real, so I wouldn't worry too much about it either way.

The psychological concept of Deja Vu is not seeing something you've seen before, but something similar to what you've seen before. In this way, you may think you've seen something earlier in your dreams when in fact you simply covered something vaguely similar while you were unconscious.
If it's been happening every day in your life, there's also the fact that you probably have confirmation bias; that is, you tend to search for evidence that confirms your beiefs, whether you mean to or not. For example, if I told you that a random number generator really isn't random at all, you will probably be searching for all sorts of patterns in it, even if there really isn't any.
That's my speculation, anyways.

If you're just seeing yourself in class or something then you just have really boring dreams. Sorry, no psychic-ness. Unless you see the exact assignment you end up doing.
I doubt you're psychic. Sorry, but your mind is consolidating memories when you sleep, so while its doing that, its runs a screen saver for fun. Just seems like your screen saver is boring. Its easy to say that, if I had a dream that I was driving everyday, I was psychic. That's not really the power of the mind, its just knowing that I'll end up doing it tomorrow.
No you're not psychic. As has been said the brain is complex, more so than the structure of superclusters. Confabulation is the production of memories and perceptions for example, and is a symptom of psychological dysfunction, though less so with a matter of memory. Or you might be having boring dreams and lots of de ja vu.
I'd see a doctor before a priest.
Edit: Not that I'm saying see a doctor. Unless that is you feel this is sincerely an issue.

This happens to me from time to time, and I know that a lot of the skeptics' responses in this thread don't really describe the experience. I ofen have dreams that foretell events that won't happen for months, and I'll always say "no way that will happen"; yet, months later, these things come to pass. I don't have any explanation for it, but I believe that when we sleep we can occasionally tap into a level of psychism innate to every human being.
If you are, I know a guy who will give you a million dollars. He lives in Florida, goes by the name Randi. All you would need to do is prove it. Should be easy if it's true.

wow, all these posts, and nobody even suggested something along the lines of "we create the world around ourselfs in an image" so if you set yourself w/ X image, your gonna subconciously end up with image X every time? i forgot what that theory is called, and i'm too lazy to google atm 
If you want an answer on what this is, there are two versions:Hectix777 said:
Simple Answer: No. This is actually just a more specific and unique, well documented case of deja vu like experiences.
My Frivilously Crackpot Answer: Well, its about damn time! The fact that this occurs on a regular basis means that your subconcious is functioning in an area normaly dormant. Again, the frequent deja vu thing is something that seems to happen to alot of people I talk to, ESPECIALLY me. I found that keeping track of it makes you notice just how insanely unnervingly convincing it can be that you ARE precognitive.
I personally accept that this is because you ARE precognitive, to a degree. No, I don't claim that you can harness this ability and become a fortune-telling superhero or some nonsense. You aren't "psychic" psychic. Just sort of psychic. If this trait ends up being common in your family later down the line, maybe your great great great great grandson will be able to control it, but for now, just roll with it.
Most likely it's just your subconscious drawing connections between what it was thinking about during your sleep cycle. Whenever you go to sleep, if you've been thinking hard about something during your waking hours(ie something important you're going to do tomorrow) your subconscious tries to calculate/solve your thoughts (that's where many dreams come from). In the morning, your brain has already run a few simulations on those thoughts, so when one of those possible paths vaguely matches, it feels like precognition.Hectix777 said:
I tend to get a few same kinds of "future snapshots" myself, albeit at a longer time until fruition. In my case it's simply the fact that my dream thoughts will eventually coincide with one of my goings on, as there are only so many logical outcomes in the same rough set of data inputs aka my daily life (eg. I will eventually talk about food with one of my friends, and as my subconscious knows my likes and dislikes it can estimate some of the more likely outcomes)
Sorry dude, but unless your snapshots last longer than a few seconds, you're not psychic yet. It's just more shenanigans from the weird gray goop between your ears.
Ok, two possible theories.Hectix777 said:
A: You retroactively create those memories. Dreams and memories are tricky. It is possible you fill in the missing points of your dreams with things that happen throughout the day.
2: You are dreaming of everyday tasks. It is essentially like saying "It is going to rain" when you are talking about the Amazon. Example, say you dream you are riding the bus. You then wake up and ride the bus to school (I am assuming you ride a bus to school...and that you go to school). That isn't precognition. That is just you dreaming about something you do daily.
