It was interest in this type of possibly predictive dreaming, rather than lucid dreaming, which got me keeping a dream journal originally. J.W. Dunne, in a once famous book An Experiment with Time, claimed that this sort of thing happened to most people if they could only remember their dreams. He devised an elaborate theory to account for it. See An Experiment with Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
From my own experiences I have found only a very few correspondences of this sort.
