To dream of a particular event that has not yet occurred usually is symbolic of your own self-growth. For example, to dream of a parent dying usually indicates that the old way of relating to the parent is dying or changing. This is a common dream among adolescents as they grow to their own adulthood.
A predictive dream has a special feeling about it, and one learns to recognize this quality or level of awareness through experience.
If there is a question, interpret the dream both symbolically and literally, and ask for further clarification in another dream.
