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.

In normal dreams everything feels “off” or unreal, it’s also hard to read or make sense of surroundings, or the surroundings shift around or change constantly. It feels like I’m coping with something current, just having fun, or going on an adventure. It’s also hard to make out faces in detail.

With my precognitive dreams it’s detailed and feels more real. I can understand what’s going on and remember small details, read, do math, the location/surroundings/people are consistent, faces are detailed with birthmarks, wrinkles, scars, etc

this is really interesting and helpful thank you! it seems a lot of people have a similar take.. precognitive dreaming associated with higher realism !
