For me it is always 3rd. Its almost like I’m an actor in my own dream. Few times I realize it, but then just wake up.
First person, and an interesting note. I was experimenting with lucid dreaming for awhile, with some very minor success. One thing that ALWAYS woke me up though, was doing something I had never done in real life. I was unable to breathe underwater. The mere attempt would wake me.
Then I got scuba certified in real life, and like magic, I was suddenly able to breathe underwater in my dreams.
It makes me wonder how you think about yourself in real life.
Both actually. It’s really weird when I think about it
I go back and forth within my dreams. Usually it’s first person, but sometimes I seem to be floating just above watching myself
Mostly, but not always first person. But I’m not always the same person - my age and sex isn’t at all consistent in my dreams. I’ve been an old woman or a baby boy, and pretty much everything across those spectrums. In my dreams it’s completely unremarkable.
Same but when I was 13 I believe for some reason I was always a girl in my dreams. It just kept on happening until it just kinda stopped happening. I’m still wondering wtf was my brain doing then.
Interesting, I’ve definitely been other dudes (I kind of see as other versions/images of myself – ?). I also tend to dream in first person but occasionally third person. I don’t think I’ve ever been a woman or a baby in any of my dreams though.
Most of my dreams tend to be ridiculous action-film like stuff. If dreams are a portal into alternative realities/versions of yourself, I’m the most boring version of me 😂 And maybe I’ve never dreamed of being old because those versions of me don’t live to an old age 😬
People dream?
Both! And only very occasionally does the 3rd person view look anything like me
@Wolfrasin so, when you dream in third person you tend to have a main character?
Yes. It’s a different avatar or character as me in different dreams. Sometimes there will be another person from life also in the dream as themselves, sometimes a person from life will be there in a different avatar then what they look like in life.
