I just realized I sometimes dream in the 3rd person and observe everything as a movie, while other times it’s like a POV shot.
It’s always my own eyes, but sometimes I realise that the dream is entirely scripted and I’m just acting my part.
Wtf. I never ever thought about this until I just read your post… SAME!
Both, at the same time. It’s hard to explain.
For me, dreams are usually 1st-ish person. Sometimes there may be elements of 3rd person POV, but with myself still as the protagonist.
Though, I have had at least one dream in 3rd person where I wasn’t even a character in the dream. That dream was much more like a film, with shots and scenes and acts.
Both, just like you. Some are through-my-eyes (POV), others are “camera shots”
The “camera” moments in which I see myself are usually with a camera set behind me and pointing down to me, like many RPGs frame their character. But it’s also usually placed on the left side of me, not the right.
The most common exception to this camera setup rule is when I fly or swim, there it’s a bit more difficult to keep track of the angle and location (though I still see my back most of the time).
