Hi all, i would like to know in what person view you have your dreams.
In my case i have them mostly in third person view, but it can also swap to first person view.

i have many views some its first person some 3rd person and some its a movie with all these different angles and slow motion

Mine are mostly third person.

Have a hard time remembering my dreams but when I do it is in the first person.

First person only as far as I can remember.

First person

Speaking of dreams, does anyone else have dreams that occur regularly at a specific place? I have so many dreams that occur at my cousin's neighbourhood.

First person mostly


But in one dream i was about to be killed by some strange creature as it reached it's clawed hand out to rip my head off. The view changed to me watching from the creatures eyes as i ripped my head off.

such happy dreams...

hm, sometimes 3rd person, other times 1st person view for me.

Normally"First" person, although lots of the time that person is not my self or even a human being. Sometimes it is a creature like a dragon; and the other night I was a torch ship which broke through a dimensional barrier to earth. I then sent out a probe in stealth mode to find out where i was. First i came to a large lake high up in the mountains and surrounded by low rolling hills. Nearby, was a city with a mix of Spanish/portuguese architecture and buildings with shopfronts incorporating steles with mayan/incan type inscriptions. There were also some shanty type areas with people keeping chooks in their backyards, and a large park with plaques on oblique concrete blocks outlining famous people such as explorers(although the language was spanish i think and i couldn't read much of it.) Listening into people's conversation i determined that the place was called La paz or La Plaz. Anyway, it intrigued me enough to google the place the next day, and lo and behold, i discovered la Paz. One link was to Lake titicaca. The photo showed exactly the terrain/landscape i had seen in my dream. I couldn't find much info about La Paz and a lot of that was in spanish, But a picture of one of the museums i looked up very strongly resembled the mix of native and colonial architecture i had seen. I thought while having the dream that this might have been another case of out of body experience, so when I woke up I described as much as I could remember to my wife. While i had a vague idea there was a city with this name in south America, I had never seen pictures of it, or the lake, before and did not know what part of south america it was in, let alone what country.

all my dreams are in first person view

Mostly 3rd person, but some 1st person

Mine are mostly in third person...sometimes it's the over the shoulder 3rd person view(like in Resident Evil 4).

If Its in 1st person I am usually looking through someone elses eyes or through somekind of alternate version me(or something).

The best dreams are when its in first person and I'm somebody else but don't know it...like my Star Wars dream.

Luke: Hey Han Shoot that guy!
Han/Me: I'm not Han...oh crap...(I wake up)

When I remember my dreams at all they are always in the first person.

I've only had 1st person dreams. I don't ever remember having a 3rd person dream. Wouldn't that be considered an out of body experience?

No because its still in a dream world. An OBE is when your "spirit" leaves your body and you can travel around the real world but kinda like a ghost. And in an OBE its still 1st person but you would just be looking at your physical body but your still you.

It's interesting how for some people it's mostly third person and some people it's mostly first person. For me personally it's always first person.

sometimes third and sometimes first, sometimes i'm not sure which.
And sometimes there is no me in the dream. Only other people

In my dreams it is always in the first person. I have never had a dream where it felt like I was watching it, like a movie or something......I am always the main character in my dreams, and I am always acting them out myself.

for me, it's always 3rd person view

I never had (as long as I can remmember) a 1st or 2nd person dream....

For me I think it depends on what I'm dreaming at the moment. Like most of the time I dream in 1st person but if I change form I usually get a quick outside view of myself as I'm shifting. It seems random almost but I think it might just be that when I think about myself in dreams in that moment I enter like a 3rd person view, and then when I go to move again I am back to how I was. Thats kinda how it works for me it seems. So like when I shifted into the shark for example, I put my feet together to make the tail, and then when I flicked them to go fast I went into a 3rd person point of view and saw myself fully shift, and then I was back in 1st person but as a shark.

So yeah it kinda depends on whats happening in the dreams for me as to how I'm viewing it.

Usually when I dream, its like that show "Quantum Leap". I jump into someone's body, doing whatever they are doing. When I look in the mirror...or down at my clothes or surroundings or hear the voice that comes from my mouth; I realize I'm in someone's body.

It's the best dreaming experience ever!

Most of the time its 3rd person view, which really sucks in nightmares...but when I have 1rst person view dreams everything seems normal in the dream but when I wake up im like 'woah that was weird as hell''. I remember one time i dreamed that i was growing 2 new toes out of the top of my foot and it was completly normal becuase it happned to everyone, and then i woke up and thought it was really funny.

I have 1st and 3rd person dreams in equal porportions. I once had a dream in which 1st and 3rd switched constantly in a sort of swinging motion. I was in the person (me) and then swept out, and then back in again. I woke up quite ill. It was freaky.

Always 1st person, as far as I remember them...

Most of the time it's 1st person view for me. But sometimes it's like I'm just watching a movie... characters and places I don't even recognize and I'm like nonexistant... just watching.

i have dreams that im myself usually i dont know what person that is though

I thought all people dreamed in first person hehe ?!?!

Too many computer games are starting to effect our dreams it seems

It's just a matter of time before people start dreaming in strategy game perspective.


Edit : Funny! This thread made me remember a 3rd person dream i had, where i was in a car like a racing game

It is usually first person, however occasionally I am an observer like a remote viewer.

Yes, I have a lot of dreams like that. I attribute it to the brain making up stories to amuse itself whilst the body rests .....

Overall I'd say I have a nice mix of 1sta nd 3rd person dreams. And often I play a character for only part of a dream.

I also often have dreams which occur in fictional locations, but ones which I've visited in previous dreams. Sometimes they're very loosely based on real places. For example, one house/hotel; I sometimes have dreams set in is based on a hotel I used to run - but in my dream it's many times bigger and located in a completely different setting.

I almost always dream in the third person. Although, I always know who I am supposed to be in the dream (a lot of the time, I'm someone other than myself...at least for most of the dream). Sometimes I'll be seeing a scene in which my character is the focus, both other times the person I'm playing isn't even there. I myself see scenes that my character isn't really aware of. Or sometimes I see a scene that my character shouldn't be aware of (because they aren't there), but they're aware of it, anyhow...

Like the person above me said, a lot of the locations in my dreams are at least loosely based off of places I've lived. Most of the time a combination of more than one place I've lived or been to (for instance, the house I live in now on the outside, on a street located in the house I've stayed in in another state, and appearing partially like a relative's house on the inside). Though, the locations in my dreams are sometimes places I don't recall having ever been at all.

Both first person aswell as third person, sometimes both at the same time, difficult to explain.
The simpelest way to explain it is Picture in picture view.

I've had dreams of all types - 1st, 3rd person and the 'movie' ones. Usually the movie ones are the weirdest. Sometimes my 1st or 3rd person dreams mix and I get both perspectives in the one dream.

Multiple. In some dreams I have all points of view. Which is sometimes rather unerving when I try to figure out how it works.
