Dreaming as someone else?

I often dream as another person. I'm no longer Doobie, i am Rilie or Becky or someone else. Sometimes i dream as my friends or as people i do not know. Why does this happen?

I'm not sure why it happens, but it is not uncommon.

For me it is actually uncommon to look like myself.

This has never actually happened to me. Sounds interesting though.
Perhaps it's because you spend alot of time looking at these people, whereas you probably spend next to no time actually looking at yourself? Just a thought, which is probably way off.

Yeah that's happend to me before and i'm not talking about shapeshifting either. When the dream started i was a woman. Though, i never thought that is wasn't uncommon.
