Do you dream in first or third person? My dreams are only in third person and it sucks, I can't dream in first person.

My dreams are indistinguishable from being awake and I can move my consciousness around in my dreams in the same way I can when I’m awake.

>>40918791 (OP)
Third Person, but like- an over the shoulder free moving camera.

I have both. Sometimes it’s through my own eyes only and sometimes it’s from an outside perspective, occasionally both. If that makes any sense

>>40918791 (OP)
I have never had a third person dream, only first person.

>>40918791 (OP)
>Do you dream
No.

Thanks for the response anon. Really needed your one word response in a thread that is entirely irrelevant to your personal experience.

>>40922227
You're welcome.

>>40918791 (OP)
I can fix your dreams so you can dream in first person if you want.

who wants to know?

>>40918791 (OP)
There are outside factors, which I still have yet to find any real way of describing, that have influence over the perspective of my dreams from the night in question. It would be too easy to say that it is a clean 50/50 split between first, & third, person perspectives, but it is somewhere in that ball park. First person dreams feel much closer to waking life, so much so that there are points where you almost cannot distinguish the dream from the world outside; while my third person dreams often feel as though I have omnipresence over the world for which I am viewing. It is easier for me to distinguish those from their counterparts, but both are equally surreal.

>Do you dream in first or third person?
First, second, third person, as well as simultaneous perspectives. Simultaneous observation is necessary for second-person perspective.

Both. Some of my most memorable dreams are first person as a separate person, especially dying as a separate person. Once as an old woman, once as a small deer. I've had a dream where I was a mother and discovering very viscerally that my child was some kind of antichrist.

Unless you happen to be an alien, you dream. The human brain requires dreaming to function which is why you become insane after 6 days of not sleeping and die after 10 days.

>>40918791 (OP)
First, generally. Though I usually don't have a body. I have had third person dreams however.

The various perspectives are interesting. Experiences are interesting.
>helping an old slavic woman pass on as she is attached to her old childhood home
>escorting an arab prince throughout the river styx
>living the life of a small dog and witnessing the world as six inches tall
>bleeding out blue as a strange bipedal being who desires vengeance for being subjugated as a slave
>watching both perspectives of a robotic savior and a rescued individual as it sacrifices itself to allow escape
>a test experiment designed to verify reflexes of a super soldier experiment, looping many hundreds of thousands of times over
>a young spirit that is given a divine toy that gives animation to the inanimate, just because it's alive doesn't mean it's got a soul
>a nature spirit that flies above the winds and cloudy fog of the chinese mountains
>an extraction mission that involves sending pursuing ape men into a bottomless abyss
>using a psi gun, no larger than a subcompact 22lr pistol, to lobotomize eleven pursuing agents
>being vivisected into nothing more than a head, spawning a new body with shoulder mounted miniguns and laying absolute waste to the compound
>a fox spirit that really hates the tourists that keep disturbing the peace at an inari shrine
>learning a kitsune's vision, allowing easy identification and removal of parasitic possessions that are hard to detect
>watching the soldiers that die in war be sent to a limbo where conflict is eternal, and a lot of them like it a lot
>backstage help of the halls of illusion, where people face judgment for their actions in a life, totally inconsequential, they want people to accept their choices for what they were
>realizing those dream guides are not there to help me, and to just be honest with what they want out of me
>visiting a fractal kingdom where there are probably more souls than the actual physical realm, equally ignorant
I can say with certainty that I am grateful that my waking life is mundane in comparison.

I've never dream'stve in third person, ever.

I dreamed in third person as a kid a couple times but apparently those weren't dreams.

Train first person view by looking at your hands in a dream.

>>40918791 (OP)
I've always dreamt in first person and I just assumed everyone else did too.

>>40927830
How so?

>>40927923
Just the way it worked out m8

>>40918791 (OP)
Both I guess. Mostly first person unless I'm a different character in the dream then it's third person-like. Last night I dreamt I was watching a movie (first person) but at some point I became one of the characters in the movie and it turned into what >>40920759 describes

>>40918791 (OP)
I have never dreamt in the third person.

>>40918791 (OP)
Usually first person over like 99% of the time, but occasionally I appear in third person. I say "appear" because the entire dream's not third person, just part of it.

One instance I can clearly remember is me appearing as a much younger version of myself in the dream, like a little kid. This makes me wonder if maybe the third person dreams are only when it's about a "form" of myself that's different from who I am in the present, but I honestly can't recall enough third person dreams right now to be sure, and probably it's expecting too much for dreams to have strict logic.

>>40918791 (OP)
Many people struggle to lucid dream, where you realize you're dreaming, and gaining control.
Imagine it was that easy.
>I'm in third person.
>I'm dreaming!
>I'm lucid!

First person and the joke is always sex. I want to fly around like Superman for god's sake.

>>40922699
How? Just curious about how to do it myself

>>40918791 (OP)
exclusively first person

>>40918791 (OP)
Op dreams are simulation I play many dimensional games, it’s simulated by machine god I get many perspectives

>>40918791 (OP)
I almost always dream in first person, but I'm not always "myself" in the dreams

for some reason lots of my dreams are in hotels, they're usually very squatty lengthwise but always super tall heightwise

Anyone else have that thing where you have to run in dreams and slip or gravity weakens or something and you start sort of floating but tip forward and have to run on your hands? Happens to me at least once a week

>>40918791 (OP)
Almost always first person. Sometimes it's a cinematic dream following a plot/episode but I'm detached from it, not in third person.
