The question

Does the Prophet's vision of Lady Aisha in a dream before their marriage indicate the possibility of a person seeing someone in a dream before knowing them, or was it a miracle specific to the Prophet?

The answer

Al-Bukhari narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, in a dream. An angel brought her to him in a piece of silk and said to him: "This is your wife." When he uncovered her face, he found it to be her, and he said: "If this is from Allah, He will confirm it." In the narration of Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban: "This is your wife in this world and the Hereafter."

The dreams of Prophets are revelation, unlike the dreams of others, which may be true or false, and may be a truthful dream, a false dream, or from Satan. A righteous dream brings comfort to the believer, but he should not rely on it alone to make a decision. There is no harm in supplicating to marry a specific person if that person possesses faith and good character.
