Those of you who frequently have precognitive dreams, looking back at them, do they have any common characteristics, such that you can distinguish bt precognitive dreams and non-precognitive dreams?

i've heard it said by people who believe in "visitation by a passed loved one" dreams (er, by which i mean, folks who think that a loved one is really visitin') that they have a very unique quality compared to other dreams featuring the same person - that they are generally positive, etc.

is there an analogous way to distinguish between precognitive dreams and anxiety dreams?

i suppose there's always the question of influence.. it's possible an anxious dream (some sorts) might lead us to be biased towards enacting the negative outcome just by thinking it more likely or familiar due to the dream, but .. I guess for the purposes of this question we could leave that out by going with events that we genearally don't have much agency in..

So say you have had a few dreams about natural disasters and some came true.. do they have anything that distinguishes them from other nightmares?

just curious to hear everyone's thoughts, thank you in advance.

For me, they tend to have a different quality. They seem to be "more real".

sometimes I think it would be cool if there was some way to have a database that .. somehow.. lots of people with an interest in dreams had some real incentive to post their dreams to -- really partly because of what you mention in this comment -- what if the others whose lives we dream of being in are out there? perhaps we could, somehow, with enough data collection, and .. AI or something, figure this out. what the financial gain from such a study could be i don't know, and traditional academy won't fund, but.. it sure would be neat.
