I find that more often than not I am on the outside looking in on my dreams. As though I am playing a video game. I have the same levels of control, or lack of control in my dreams as when I am in the first person. I may even go in and out of third person as the dream continues. I find that even when I am in the third person I know exactly what i am thinking and doing, but I also see what everyone else who is there is doing.

Is this a common experience amongst many of you? Is there any reason that you know of for this? Just curious.
