This is a normal and not uncommon experience. When you are just going to sleep or more commonly when you are waking in the morning, you may enter a period of being half awake. Sometimes these experiences are called hypnagogic if experienced when awakening. When they are experienced during the process of falling asleep they are called hypnopompic. They can seem like hallucinations, but they are not caused by any pathology. There are systems in place to inhibit motor activity and sensory input while asleep; this is what causes the stupor that we experience when asleep. We sometimes begin to regain some consciousness before these systems have completely restored our motor and sensory faculties.

I can see the future in my sleep - am I phsycic?

Being psychic means you have to be able to perform events like seeing the future or move objects while awake, so I woudn't say you are phychic if you can only do it in your sleep, but you could say you have premonitions, but I don't think you can be called a psychic because of this.
