Often, things relevant to the personal future are put into life by the time/space self which "plans". Whether dreams, or details in waking life which are remembered or can be found and referred back to.
The tricky thing about patterns which relate to the future is, the filter of the mind a person has in the present doesn't let a clear picture through. Very rarely, there can be exceptions. But personally, I've found that symbolic information about the future has been packed into my inner life years in advance, but in such a way that it is only afterwards that it can be understood.
Something more vague, and much more general, can be easier to perceive ahead of time. Such as there may be big changes in direction coming up. But when trying to imagine how that will look concretely, the picture imagined will usually be wrong when compared later to what happened.
