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.
Had a POV dream that I was Greg Davies and rushed into a hospital to save someones life, but the hospital would’nt take the patient bc it was a duck. I ran into an operation theater to do it myself but a swarm of men dressed in jet black bodysuits chase me and im in a massive hall surrounded by thousands of people unable to move its so crowded and im holding the duck over my head so noone can get it.
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).
Both, at the same time. It’s hard to explain.
99% POV. The one time that I can remember 3rd person was one of the times when I died in my dream. I fell from a cliff in the US Southwest, like Arizona. About 1/2 way down the fall, I watched myself fall the remainder of the way and hit the ground. I “walked” around the impact site for a bit and then left, but at that point, I don’t know who “I” was since “I” was obviously laying on the ground, dead.
Another time that I died, I was stuck in my body after being shot in the head, but unable to move, so I don’t think that dying is why the POV changed.
I can’t remember any other time that it wasn’t POV mode.
