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

In your dreams, are you looking at the world from a 1st person perspective (through your eyes) or a 3rd person perspective (at yourself like a movie camera)?

1st Person 133
3rd Person 136

    Third person dreams are the especially confusing ones for me. Those ones where I am not myself...how am I not myself? hehe

  • Third person...its very rare that'll I see things from my own perspective. The only time that happens is when I'm being chased or falling off of a cliff.

    i think I'm usually in 1st person but I've been in 3rd person too, but really most of the times I'm not even me. o.O

    If I dream, I don't remember them. But when I could remember them, always first person.

  • I've had those dreams that you think your in the third person looking at you doing something horrible but then realizing that I'm actually in first person mode looking at a double of myself.

    I had a dream that was basically a video game mix. It started first person, but the changed to third later on somehow.

    Usually I am just watching the characters in my dream run around so third. Why did you not add second person?

    There was this one time in a singular linear dream I had alternating POVs... or a combination? I saw me (third person) talking to me (when I'm in first person). We had a lengthy conversation about something I can't remember under a tree by a lake... I was able to see into my otherselves's thoughts. There was a lot of finishing each other's sentences... It was really strange.

    Usually third-person. I rarely dream about myself. Always other people or I make up people.

  • Sometimes in first person, but when I die in my dreams and they continue, it goes to third, haha.

    It's usually first-person for me, but sometimes it's third. Sometimes it even switches in the dream and I get super confused...

    I've never had a dream in the 3rd person. That would be very strange to me!

        • It was actually quite eloquent.

          You wouldn't begrudge water that came out of a hose so don't begrudge the truth just because it didn't come from a source you liked.
