How do you tell the difference between Lucid Dreams & prophetic dreams.

I have an odd question -how do you tell the difference between being lucid and dreaming and having a precognitive dream?

I have the occasional dream, where I will become lucid in the dream-usually they are dreams where I'm in danger of some sort, and I "wake up" in the dream, tell myself I'm awake and get myself out of danger or out of a negative situation.

But I've also been having these odd sleep episodes for a few months where I will be having a dream. Lets say I'm in my house talking to a friend, then that it flip like changing a channel on tv. And suddenly, a new venue, I am lucid and I'm always with the same man. Its like they are a memory of the future-if that makes any sense, it only lasts for a few seconds, Then it will flip back to the original dream.

These dreams blips as I call them are sometimes the same "memory", sometimes different but always with the same person (someone I do not know currently) and my feeling in them is one of extreme happiness, love and feeling like I am living in a perfect moment.....And I would REALLY like to manifest that as my reality.

Am I having precog visions in my dreams, or is it another dream that I am becoming lucid in??? I only have one person who understands these kinds of things when I talk to her and she is just as confused about them as I am.
I would love to hear what some of you think.
