Do you dream in 1st person or 3rd person?

Post by Hedge90 »

I don't know how uncommon this is, but at least half of the time I dream in 3rd person. I don't experience the dream from the POV of the dream avatar, i.e. it's more like a movie than a 1st person shooter game, but I still identify with him/me the same. While dreaming it doesn't even occur to me that there's anything strange about seeing myself from the outside.
Do you experience anything similar in your dreams? Or, by the way, any other thing that you deem to be potentially uncommon?

I dream in 1st person, I’m the same. A couple nights ago in a dream there was the prospect of me dying, but realizing I can’t die I continued with dream as is

Always third person.
