Whether Old Testament passages ever foretell future events and, if so, how often, is a matter of faith. The books of the Old Testament were written by Jews for Jews, and modern Jews think that there are a few passages that might have genuinely foretold future events. Christians, on the other hand, see many prophecies in the Old Testament, with some believing that thousands of passages foretell the story of Jesus.
Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) helps expalin why views on Old Testament prophecy differ so much. There is a trick that he sees happen all the time, in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont, and which seem to come naturally when studying The Bible. One can ask any question of the Bible and get some kind of answer. At first the study of a text may not seem to support a traditional Christian conviction, or the answer one hopes to find in the Bible. But with a little ingenuity, one can set up the comparison again with other emphases and make the answer come out right. Bingo - you have another prophecy.

Why do we sometimes have dreams that come true in reality but in the later future?
The subconscious mind can notice subtle events, emotions, trends and patterns that can easily be overlooked by the waking, conscious mind. When these subconscious observations are put in logical order in a dream, they can appear to foretell the future in a supernatural way. In reality, the dream forecast is no more supernatural than a weather forecast, based on observed facts that point toward a future event.
