Predictive dreams, or just seeing symbols or messages that correspond to my real world, sometimes it's obvious and I can connect the dots. I used to have premonition dreams of my ex-partner all the time, but that's when we were in a relationship, she is one of my soulmates. She would also have premonitions of me, but mine come strongly in dreams. I never experienced such a thing with anyone else at all, but those dreams often were negative lol. The feeling would be different than a nightmare, in the past the bad thing would actually happen.
I guess I just...know? I feel like at this point now that I'm 30 I don't spend time second guessing or hesitating about what I'm seeing and feeling. There is always a type of feeling. I get a type of feeling too when I forgot something, and left it somewhere. Sometimes for me it means I just cannot forget it...it elicits some kind of aloof or alarmed feeling in me.
I guess what I consider mundane as a dream is when there's a lack of synchronicity (to the waking world). If my body and mind aren't telling me, I often just brush it off.
Thanks for your insights shieon! You said "it elicits some kind of aloof or alarmed feeling in me". Yes, that is exactly what it does to me too. For some reason my predictive dreams are usually predicting negative events...so that is why I feel it is hard to understand, because I might be worried about something happening and if I see that in a dream, was that my worry or a prediction? That is the hard part. But definitely if I focus enough, I can discern when it is just fruit of my worries and when it could actually be a prediction.
It happened to me recently that I went to a place and realized afterwards that I actually saw that already in a dream I totally forgot about, which is quite interesting.
