I often have dreams about my "current events", but they are not really flashbacks at all. I do find that I process things that way often. Many of my dreams are long discussions where conversations that were cut short (or never happened) in real life continue, or have some sort of "mirror universe" type feel to them.
I do have recurring dreams, or that are at least using the same setting or stage, but the events are often different each time, even if the cast is the same. Usually there is a big interval between the repeating dreams -- often years. And yes, I really do know if I have "seen" a dream before or not when I wake up.
