Person Perspective

[TheExtractor]

Is 3rd (third) person perspective possible in lucid dreams? Also, are lucid dreams supposed to feel just like real life, only a bit, or not at all?

[Waterknight]

yes its possible and the can feel real or they can feel completely strange and unreal.

third person view happens all the time, and its usually annoying as it makes the dream seem less real, like youre watching it rather than in it. dreams can be extremely vivid and real or they can be fuzzy and dark, it depends by the time.

Is 3rd (third) person perspective possible in lucid dreams? Also, are lucid dreams supposed to feel just like real life, only a bit, or not at all? Yes, third person perspective is entirely possible in dreams, but in lucids it can be much harder because you're much more aware of your dream body. Lucid dreams, in general, feel extremely realistic. The more vivid the dream, the more detail you can remember. While you're lucid, the higher the vividness means the more you can smell, touch, taste, and see. I've felt wet grass, ate food, touched bricks and wood, and a bunch of other stuff. It's amazing how realistic your mind can make things.

[TheExtractor]

So third person is entirely plausible. And lucid dreams can feel so real as to be confused with real life?

[Hyu]

Lucid dreams can feel just as real as real life, even surreal at times. Especially emotions are sometimes much stronger in a lucid dream than in real life. Being lucid means you won't confuse it with real life though. You can however loose lucidity, but that's more like forgetting that you're dreaming rather than confusing your dream with reality.

[TheExtractor]

Alright. I need to have more real lucid dreams. Mine are always kinda dark or fuzzy...

[Hyu]

Have you tried any stabilization techniques, such as rubbing your hands? I found that using them, you can greatly increase the clarity and vividness of lucid dreams.

[TheExtractor]

Do you mean rubbing my hands in my lucid dreams, or in reality during the day?

[Hyu]

I suggest reading through this: Dream Stabilization and Clarity Tutorial - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource The basic idea is to exercise all your senses when you become lucid in a dream. There are many ways to do this, but rubbing your hands seems to be a very common example. Stabilizing your dream can help you prolong and increase the clarity of lucid dreams.

Great. Thank you.

[Raetin]

Most of my dreams are in third-person, only my lucid dreams are in first-person.

[TheExtractor]

Haha Dreambusters. Im not the only person who likes Discovery Chanel.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who has third-person dreams. I'm always surprised when I wake up and didn't realize during that being in third-person doesn't make much logical sense for a dream!
