Sounds like a strange loop.

Do you have close female friends? Ask them for honest feedback on your personality, looks, etc.

You can predict the future to the extent that you understand the past that led to your present. Dreams do contain visions of the future. I know several people that have predicted 1 in a billion chance events based on their dreams.
