lake What is going on with me? How do I control this?

Okay I have these dreams. My dreams are events that happen in my life that aren't even important. One of them was I was walking up to one of my teachers, Mr. Davis, who was holding a gl bottle of acid in his hands while doing a lab in Science...he dropped the acid and it broke, and burnt up the styrofoam cup that was on the ground. A couple days later, it happened. I had dreams when I was younger, but they were very quick. I thought it was deja-vu, so I talked to my dad about it, and he said he has the exact thing too and that I should learn how to control it? He went and talked to someone about it and they said it wasn't deja-vu and could maybe be some sort of psychic gift? I'm really confused and I need help...is this a gift? And how do I learn to control these dreams?there
