I know what you mean. It's the "eternal now" thing. I agree with that myself, but either way, we still travel through time in a linear way, so I can see both views and I don't believe that they contradict one another.
I part ways with you one one point though. The idea of us "creating" everything, in the sense that if my neighbor wakes up today and decides to steal my car, I don't believe that I "created " that situation. I believe that my neighbor did through free will.
The whole free will thing is a discussion that could go one forever and the questions would never really be answered, but I do believe in it; and I also believe that the future is NOT cast in stone, even if we're in an eternal"now". I definitely believe that we can choose to change the future at any moment. We all do it anyway; whether we're aware of that fact or not.
Time is an amazing and difficult thing to try and comprehend with our finite minds. Then again, so are many other things, like gravity, light, etc. Hell, existence itself is amazing. I find it miraculous that we even exist to begin with; and that we truly are time travelers. we mover "through" time at every moment, yet we only exist in the "now". It's mind boggling when you really think about it.
As far as "seeing" the future in dreams is concerned, it seems to me that when we're dreaming, the laws pf physics; including time; go right out the window; so almost anything seems possible; including those rare glimpses into the 'future", or into another "now", whenever that may actually happen in "time".
