Do you dream in first or third person?
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.

You mean like seeing the back of your head? I never understood how people can do that. I dream through the same eyes I see things with in the waking world.
I see the back of my head and back just like 3 person video game and the camera can rotate so I see my self from the side.
When you're looking at the back of yourself, is it 2D or 3D? Stylized or realistic? Up to date? Different clothing-wise each time?
It is like a real camera filming so 3d realistic. It never deviates in quality except that the camera can be a super 8ish.
From 1990 to today. Yes a big variation in cloths races, genders and group size but never bigger then 4.
I find it intriguing how, in a world where we consider our dream adventures a figment of ourselves, dreams would have that level of detail foresight. Like why does the cookie crumble how it does?
I dream in 3rd person primarily and the sort of video game-ish angle you're thinking of isn't my experience. It's more like watching a tv show of yourself with you as the main character. You are in control of your actions in the dream and accept that wholly as you but it's like your veiw point changes like a series of fixed camera angles... But still seems fluid.
When you do that, does it involve a depiction of how you look from behind the back of your head (or from any other angle) that is true to how you look in the waking world, or are there differences? One thing that comes to mind is how people with DID say they dream, and I am intrigued to what's going on.
I would say over the shoulder is a veiw point I know but the back of my head as in a video game veiwpoint is kind of a rarity. More of a side on situation is the norm but sometimes the focus can frame me out as well.
I would say that maybe my film career might be relevant because it has the conventions of camera work but it's been that way since I was a child.
But my physicality is usually not "me" in the sense if what I see in the mirror every morning but a way more comfortable conception of me basically like you swapped a body type in a video game but things like skin, eye color and hair color are all basically the same... Most of the time anyway. I have definitely had some odd presentations of dream me.
So then you see yourself to a degree where you always notice what you're wearing?
