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.
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?
Most of the time 1st person, sometimes 3rd person like a TV or drone camera showing me with the scenery around, like I’m watching a movie. Very rarely is it following behind my head like in a 3D video game.
I dream exclusively in 2nd person.
@ivanafterall I knew someone out there was dreaming about me!
Actually you were the second person
First person, but sometimes there’s a soundtrack.
Both, usually 1st. Except when I’m in 3rd person, I usually morph back into first. Usually happens when I’m not “me” and following someone else. I may hop from multiple people in the same dream. It’s the weirdest when they are different genders lol.
People mentioned not seeing in color - I usually don’t have sound. Like people “talk” sure, but not really? Idk how to explain it. I only realized this when I had one dream with sound, a little music box, and it was wonderful.
Either I don’t remember my dreams or I don’t dream. Last dream I had was when I was like 8 and I still remember it 26 years later. Sleep for me is like sleep in Skyrim. Close eyes. Try not to think about anything, blackness then like a snap I’m awake again. Even my train of thought just picks pack up from before I fell asleep.
I will say that the one dream I remember was in 1st person.
Why was my dick a gas pump nozzle…Fill er up!
But for real though, I remember reading somewhere that even people who think they don’t dream are actually dreaming, they just can’t remember any of it. My wife is the same way but I’ve seen her say shit and act stuff out in her sleep so I know she’s dreaming but she doesn’t remember anything.
Sometimes not remebering dreams can happen due to medication, recreational drugs or alcohol consumption. Not getting aproper sleep and interrupting the sleep cycle makes it difficult to remember.
Anecdotally i “stopped dreaming” or at least remembering them when i started smoking weed. For years i didnt remember a dream. When i stopped smoking i suddenly started dreaming alot.
I like dreams.
Always first-person. But my dreams are like movies with no special effects. There’s no fire, no gunshot, no blood, etc. It’s weird
Same, its rare for me
It varies. If I become lucid then shit’s about to go down so my brain slips out of my body and I start doing sick moves like Neo. That requires 3rd person to see the full awesomeness of the stuff I do.
Calmer more dreamy-dreams it will be first person with occasional slip outs to close 3rd person to the side of my head.
Non-lucid nightmares tend to be first person.
But none of these really do the feelings justice. My sight can be 3rd person but my emotional state and how I feel is very first person. If that makes sense?
My dreams sometimes seem like a well choreographed movie. happens both 1st person and 3rd person at times and often I’m also aware it’s a dream.
Both and neither?
Hell sometimes I’m not even the focus of my dreams. It’s sometimes like watching a movie without me in it, or in a third person omniscient point of view, and sometimes it’s like watching surrealism folding in on itself without any sense of form or even reasoning.
My dreams are all over the place, hell and sometimes my dreams will be like a continuous story or theme over multiple nights.
I do have to say though my dreams are way more intense (and memorable) on days when I focus hard on my cardio a few hours before bed. Like yesterday where I pushed my heart rate to about 180bmp (over double (about 2.5x) my resting rate) for 30min. Absolutely insanely vivid dreams and I slept like a stone.
Can relate to the surrealism one, it gives me such strange vibes when I’m half waken up yet still dreaming
first
Same, has only ever been first person
It’s always first person for me, but the one lucid dream I ever had I dreamed I was playing kirby on a gameboy advance and I was absolutely the kirby. So I suppose that was third person at least once.
I dream in first person, and sometimes if I realize it I can lucid dream.
No
Second person, i think…? I’m the viewer, distinct from myself, but also not a detached non-entity. The dream body is never mine.
