Default Remember the future

So im trying to fully understand this saying, just read this quickly;

"Constructing the future relies on the same memory capabilities. We use information from past events and general knowledge, stir that information into new forms, and construct a memory for a future event. I imagine visiting one of my sons this weekend by building possible events from other visits. I also use general knowledge about my son, myself, and where he lives. When I imagine the future, I do the same mental work as when I remember the past. I reconstruct the past and I remember the future."

Found off; http://m.psychologytoday.com/blog/me...ing-the-future

Now after reading that article to me it just means that remembering the future is just reconstructing the past and applying it to the future in terms of memory. I could be very wrong though. Is this one of those subjective things where you arent wrong or right?

Any and all opinions are welcome here, please share your view.
