Thread: In your lucid dreams do you see 1st person, 3rd person or something else vision ?

Most often it'll be 1st person, but 3rd person is possible. You'll probably need to put conscious effort into it to achieve 3rd person vision.

Ok thanks.

Actually, my dreams are wierd in that my perspective shifts a lot.

For instance, if i'm alone, more likely I'm first person, but if I start talking to a DC, it'll sometimes change to third.

Also, when there's an actiony sequence, like I'm running from something canabalt-style or something, it's usually third person.

Kind of a mix, if that makes any sense. like when i concentrate on an action it is 1st person, but when i am concentrating on scenery it is 3rd.

non lucids are either 1st or 3rd though

My lucids are in first-person view, which was a clue last time I became lucid. I wondered whether I was awake because the view was too "real" to be a dream, and yet it was.
In non lucids, my perspective is most often 1 foot above and slightly behind my head.

I usually dream in first person, actively involved in the dream plot and what not. I have had 3rd person dreams where it feels like I'm just watching a movie... but there's no edges to the screen, if that makes any sense. It's like I'm standing there with the DC's, but I have no body, just eyes.

So far every Lucid was 1st person but sometimes in normal dreams it can move to 3rd person.

Seems to me that most of the times in lucids, I am at first person.

But, if it's not very vivid, and I don't really feel in control, it may then partially be in 3rd person.

Oddly enough, though I get a lot of first-person, I also get a whole lot of 3rd person, too. It's about a 4:1 ratio, I would guess.

Interesting.

My last lucid dream, I saw in third person and didn't know how to go into first person... It sucked...

Both, usually third person when I am dying.

both, like I am the person but I'm watching myself from a little away. Like in an RPG video game. But I'm always 1st person in LDs. Also, I've made myself have an OBE in a lucid if that counts as "other".

mines mostly first person, but quite a few times itll be like a movie. i dont do anything and no dc acknowledges me, they just do their own thing and i watch, its kinda weird. and sometimes itll be like watching a video that fills my entire vision but i know im watching it and sometimes i even talk to other dcs. all of these are non lucid.

1st person, a lot like waking, if not equal.

exactly like waking if u ask me ...thats how i know im lucid its as real as it gets, like waking up ,theres no mistaking it its like BAM...

I think this thread gets made a lot.

Nonetheless, in my non-lucids, I always see in first person, but I can't ever see my body if I were to look down.

It seems to switch around, but general 1st person.
Add a poll?

I remember when i had first LD that lasted no longer than 7 seconds, as soon as I noticed I was dreaming I suddenly warped to 1st person view then i moved and woke up

Switches.

It's really wierd what I see. I see from 1st person, and then I see from 3rd person as if someone's looking down on me. The wierd thing is, it's not like there's a "split screen" - I am looking at two things at once, but only have one vision... If that makes sense.

Well I've just had my first memorable dream with an omnipotent viewpoint! aaaaaaaaaannnnnndddddd 200 POSTS!

Sorry to dig this up, but I noticed that when I enter LD in different ways I'm in a different perspective.

WILD is so far always first person, where every other time I end up in third person, or what I would call omi-person (I am everyone and all things, its really weird.)

Why I'm bringing this thread back up Is that I am interested in knowing if there is a way to control which perspective you enter a dream in.

If so how?

Thanks in advance.

I can change the view to whatever I want. Most of the time they are in 1st person view, but I can zoom out at will.
