Clairvoyance is the paranormal ability to perceive events happening at a distance. Individuals with this ability can see, hear, or otherwise perceive events far beyond the normal range of human senses and through barriers that would normally obstruct light, sound, etc.

Clairvoyance in Star Wars

Individuals who are able to manipulate the Force can use it to perceive events occurring at interstellar distances. Both Jedi and Sith have demonstrated this ability.

Clairvoyance in Dune

In Dune, clairvoyance is an ability of the kwisatz haderach. The Spice normally allows some male users to see into their own future, allowing them to see the outcomes of decisions and therefore select a desired outcome, but they can only see events in which they are directly involved. The kwisatz haderach can see beyond their own future, viewing present and future events whether they are directly involved or not. Selective breeding to generate a kwisatz haderach was a goal of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood.
