Dreams without you in them and 3rd person dreams

I often dream of things I'm not participating in and it seems much like watching a film. My view of the dream often shifts from 1st to 3rd person and from dreams I'm in to dreams without me. I'm curious how often is this and which is more common.

I usually have about one of those every other night (about one dream in five.) I've even had lucid dreams that I didn't participate in, and in most lucid dreams I have both a first and third person view, I don't really see both at once, but I'm aware of both.

Thats quite common, each dream is different and has its own individual identity. It's normal for some dreams to be different from the 1st person perspective.

I've had many dreams like this and so have many people, although dreams when you are the main character are usually the most common type of dream.

I had a crazy dream that was movie-like/third person not that long ago. It went like this:

I could see in the perspective of the main character, but I really wasn't in the dream. All of the characters were bees that look like the Nasonex bee, but different colors. (I don't know any of the names so I'll call them all by their color. Example: the main character would be called Yellow.)

Yellow was given some sort of quest. I don't remember what it was. He went into school and saw his friends Purple, Pink, and Orange sitting on the other side of the gym. He didn't want to put them in danger, so he decided not to tell them about his quest. He needed to get out of the school, so he flew up really high in the gym, where a black wasp-like bee started chasing him. He entered a very narrow tunnel into a whole laberynth of tunnels. He had to half crawl, half fly because the walls were so narrow. Eventually, he out-flew the other bee and got out of the school. Purple was waiting for him. She somehow knew of his quest and wanted to help.

From here, I've forgotten a lot of the dream, but I do remember Pink and Orange joined Yellow on his quest.

Next, Yellow was jumping on this big black rubber thing that looked sort of likde this: #####

(pretend all the lines are connecting)I think it was meant to help with flying, since he was a young, inexperienced flyer. I remeber he had somewhow fallen underneath it and was hanging upsidedown by ther rubber. (For some reason, hanging upsidedown like that feels really good in my dreams.)

Anyway, Yellow then flew as high as he could over the school. (There was a height limit for inexperienced flyeres, so this was against the rules.) The highest room of the school was the principals office, in which all the walls and the ceiling were made of glass. Yellow had to land there, because he was so tired. He looked down and saw a really young bluish-green bee calling his parents because he was getting suspended. Then the principle (we'll call him Mr. Green) looked up and saw Yellow. This wasn't good because a) Yellow was suppossed to be in school in the first place, and b) he was up far too high for an inexperienced flyer. Mr Green flew out of his office and tried to catch Yellow. Yellow dove off the school and was plumetting straight for the ground. At the last second, Yellow swerved upward and used his speed to glide away.

Some other stuff happened that I don't remember, and Yellow completed his quest. In the end, he and Purple fell in love and got married in a boat on a lake. Afterwards they ate dried oatmeal out of the bottom of the boat.

That's one thing I can say hasn't happened in my dreams. It's always all about me no matter how weird it is.

Yeah, I've had a lot of these dreams lately! I didn't know you could even get lucid in them! The other night I had a dream that was like a 3D computer presentation of some underground school or something... Was pretty cool, but what would happen if I got lucid in it?! Would I just be flying around the school knowing that I was dreaming?

This happens to me almost everynight. Alot of scenarios don't include me but I'm still there in third person. It also happens alot when I am present in the dream.

Recently I saw myself bleeding out in third person, very weird thing to watch.
