Are your dreams in first person or third person perspective?

I was asked about nightmares on Formspring, and the thought occurred to me about my visual perspective in my dreams. For the most part they are in third person. Why? Hell I don't know. I rarely remember my dreams when I wake up or forget them shortly after they happen. But the ones I do remember have mostly been in third person. What about you?

You're a freak.  Mine are always first person.

Depends on the dream.

" Depends on the dream. "

My dreams are all pretty much from a first-person perspective. If it's been otherwise, I do not remember.

Every dream that I've remember so far has been from a first-person perspective. The only time I saw myself in a dream was when I looked into a mirror and I was wearing a ski jacket. Plus I was pregnant. O_o

Mostly first person, but the odd time I'll see myself.

I used to have recurring dreams of watching myself  falling down between a square staircase. Always in a wheelchair and with glasses , before i started wearing them in my lifetime. I woke when I saw myself hit the bottom. So yea always third person.

Mostly first person, but I did once have a dream that was basically a film-noir version of my high school life, with me as a private detective and the girl I was currently crushing on as a rich recent widow who may or may not have stabbed her husband in the back and left him in a pool.
The truth was up to me to find out.
That dream was AWESOME.

I say about 50 50. My nightmares though are usually in first person and that sucks. I much prefer the I am watching a movie of me doing some awesome or dumb shit perspective.

Yeah I've definitely had both

Almost all the time first person, those are the dreams where they feel like they're real (even though whatever the hell happens during them are fucking crazy, insane or abnormal).

From what I remember usually first person but sometimes it'll change to third, depends on whats going on.

first person

It depends. I've had dreams where I wasn't even actively involved, just an observer.

Almost always first person, if I'm myself. But sometimes I dream about a videogame I've been playing, and then it's occasionally third person.

Usually they're second person, actually.

I've only had maybe three or four third-person dreams, and I dream every night, so that's a pretty tiny fraction of the dreams I've had. However, one of those was in isometric SRPG graphics ala Final Fantasy Tactics, so that was pretty interesting.

I honestly don't remember ever having a dream in first person, it's always framed and shot like a movie.

Depends on the dream. I've had some in ?th person. Those were the dreams that taught me the exact value of ?. Also, they led to rape analogies.

I mostly have third person, I think.  My dreams are often very vague.

Pretty much every nightmare I have is in first-person, probably to add to the "powerless" effect a lot of them have, along with any dreams where I'm doing something menial or having a conversation. I've had a few third-person dreams, but the older I get, the less I remember them.

The ones I can remember seem to be a mix of both.

My dreams are almost always first-person although they're very occasionally third-person. I have had dreams from a top-down or 2D side-scrolling perspective before.

it's first person for all of my dreams. it's usually of me in a human nothing else.

most of the time for me, my dreams have been in first person

Interesting topic. Usually 3rd person with the occasional first.

Always first person.

Always first person. 

When I was a kid I had a dream where I was holding a controller and I was controlling a third person version of me in a game.

" Usually they're second person, actually. "

Mine are third-person omniscient, but they have an unreliable narrator.  
 
 
Also, the word narrator always looks wrong when I type it. I feel like it has one syllable too many or something.

First person, but for some reason, along with those images comes the images of third person. I can think about dreams and have memories easily on hand which are of some sort of secondary invisible person's perspective. But I'm still telling this and experiencing them like first person. Hard to explain exactly what i mean.

Sometimes first person sometimes third.
 
@danimal_furry: Also,i never,ever dreamed in color,despite not watching black and white tv -.-

Third person, but I break the fourth wall like it's a bad George Orwell production. 

Almost always in third person. And mostly pretty damn vivid and intense in their nature. Which by the way can be really usefull, when you are a freelance writer (and aspiring novelist).
 
Weirdest dream I ever had, was me being a fucking War Craft 3 guard tower. Just standing around, chilling and of course, ocassionally firing an arrow or two at some dudes passing by.

Depends, sometimes I'm not even myself but some game character, or I'm playing a game only I don't really see myself I just se "the screen". 
 
Basically they shift between being vauge 1st person experiences or movies either with or without me in them.

First person for moi.

Hmm, I've never had a dream in third-person before. I'm not even sure what that would be like honestly. I mean are you implying that you are actually seeing yourself in third-person while simultaneously "being" yourself in that dream? That would be like watching yourself on TV while simultaneously being that version of yourself displayed on the TV.

Now that I think about it, I may have had some third person dreams. Those are more uncommon for me, though. 

I've never had a dream in first person, at least not one that I remember.  Its always 3rd person, the best way I can describe it is that it is like watching a movie. 

First person.

" When I was a kid I had a dream where I was holding a controller and I was controlling a third person version of me in a game. "

Yeah I would describe my dreams as being like a movie. They're never continuous. There's always cuts, zooms, establishing shots, tracking shots, etc. 
 
Maybe it's because in movies when there is a dream sequence the character is never experiencing it in first person. The sequence is always filmed exactly as it is in reality. Well, more or less.

This might be the closest example of a dream within a dream. BBWWWAAAAAAAAMMMMMM... "

" I have never remembered a dream, so I don't know. I find this interesting: People who grew up watching black and white TV have dreams in black and white. Those that grew up with color TVs see them in color. "
