Do you dream in first or third person? (lemmy.world)

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.

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?
