   You really can't. There's no color saturation or other "dream effect".   
   It's just another scene stuck after the previous scene. It's actually   
   quite jarring. *I* knew it was a flash forward because I know the story   
   but I do think it will be difficult for someone who is new to the story.   
   I won't give out specifics, but there is one character that you see more   
   often in flash forwards than you do in the current time of the story and   
   it leaves you wondering, "where did this person come from?" oh wait, it's   
   another flash forward.
