Do you dream in anything other than "first person?"

[Stinsok]

My wife says she sees herself sometimes in her dreams. On TV shows, people see themselves in their dreams. I only dream in first person.

On the few occasions I have lucid dreams then I dream in both first and 3rd person, like I'm watching myself do stuff, and then I actually go and do something else after I get bored of watching myself do something.

Other than that it's about 90/10 with my non-lucid dreams (first person/3rd person)

This pretty much describes how it is with me. I have occasional lucid dreams, and also a few dreams in which I follow directions I gave myself while awake. But I think it's more like 80/20 for me - maybe because I'm used to watching myself in everyday life, so some of that transfers over into dreams.

I sometimes have dreams that are essentially movies, where not only am i not in the dream but no one else that I know is either

I've had dream where I bounce in and out of the perspectives around me. Animals and people. Often it involves fish and water and sex. Funny enough I've also noticed that if I sleep on my side facing one direction I have weird dreams that I have to take control of, like falling dreams. I always dream about these surf spots that I've never been to and obviously don't exist in reality. Places, that have really high cliffs deep translucent water with hammerheads and turtles and squid. They also have ridiculously good waves and I try to surf them. If I sleep facing the other direction I dream of all different kinds of Asian chicks. I can't always control these dreams. When I sleep on my back I dream about work and crap and stress. Often I talk in my sleep when I'm on my back and once I woke up when my wife slapped me. I guess I was coming onto some chick that I work with. I mostly sleep on the side facing the Asian chicks. I also flip my pillow to the cool side.

I dream in comic book style.

Very hard for me to figure out the plot since I don't have my glasses on when I sleep.

[Number27]

only when i'm really sick. when i'm sick i dream in touch, like there is something spiky but soft.. or maybe hard sometimes, it constantly changes, and the sensations would normally "appear" to come from my tougue. almost like if you were licking a cactus.. or a porcupine. it's very hard to describe. strange thing is that my sister has identical dreams when she's sick.

Are you in the comic book, or only "reading" it, or both?

[drteeth]

I dreamnt my bass was stolen last night. I also dreamt setting the thief's house on fire.

Interesting you say that, because a lot of my dreams are framed as either movies or realistic video games. I'm usually in the movies or video games some how, though.

Both. I am Marshall Cunning Plan. (a superhero)

[UncleFluffy]

Normally first person, but occasionally I dream that I'm reading a book that holds the plot of the dream. Which is kind of first-person (I can see the pages) but also third-person at the same time (the text of the book). Doesn't happen very often but it's extremely confusing when it does.

[Muusers]

Top down view sometimes, I can see several rooms at the same time that way.

Sometimes first person.

If I'm falling, it's first person. Others, i'll be watching from behind my head. Like, i'm in a video game.

[Ilikejazzbass]

Thats interesting. I sometimes do, but I also dream of my self in the third person. I believe its called third person. Anyway... I never look the way I do now. I always look like I did 5 years ago. I have crazy dreams though. I'm always dis-attached from the ones around me.

Fixd'

[DaveDeVille]

i see dream moments thru my own eyes .
i hear conversations between other people , like i'm in the same room , but not actively involved .

it's odd ... sometimes i can even sense smells during the dream ...fruits , perfumes , ocean water , etc.

some times my dreams can be so intense and overpowering that
when i wake up i am afraid to move .

[dullsilver_mike]

I very rarely dream in the first person, almost always watching myself in the third.
It's also very rare that I dream in real color, does anyone else dream in black and white or through strange monochromatic tints?

[EdHunter]

I only dream in black and white

[Joe Gress]

Both first and third. This one time in second, but I think I had some bad mushrooms on the pizza that night.
