I've never had anything other than first person LDs. Would be interesting to have one in 3rd. |

I don't know if I've ever had a lucid dream that I can remember, but I do remember a few semi-lucid ones. I was wondering, when you enter your dream, is your view usually in first-person? |

Hey Sean, |
|
Generally 1st person, and rarely 3rd person. |
|
I'm not sure actually, I've never really thought of it. But I'm pretty sure that I've had dreams appear as both 1st person and 3rd person. |
|
I regularly switch between 1st and 3rd person points of view, shifting between my dream persona and other characters who become the focus of the dream at that point in time. I think I'm probably more often in 1st person POV, and when I've become lucid I always jump into 1st person. |

95% of the time i dream in 1st person, but i've had a few dreams where i dream in 3rd person. I hate those kind of dreams to, because i can't do anything, can't talk or anything. In fact about a week or two ago i had a 3rd person dream and i couldn't do anything. |
|
Mostly in third person, but rarely in 3rd person. |

Aw, I hate to disagree with you shift, as you're always so lovely... |

Yea, I just personally don't care to factor it in unless I am truly lucid, ie knowing for sure that I'm dreaming. Suspicion doesn't cut it for me, since that means I'm still not 100% sure and still partially submersed in the dream. Truly knowing it, for me that's lucidity. I don't believe in defining levels of lucidity either, but some people do. Doesn't really matter I guess. People will feel differently, that's how I do. |

I just got the book in the mail and am about to read it |
|
I've had a couple of 3rd person dreams, one of which was lucid. It was sad because I couldn't do anything though. |
|
i thought lucid was when your not only aware of being in a dream but you can do whatever you want in that dream... you know what im saying? |
|
There are varying degrees of lucidity of course. But surely if you truly are lucid in the sense that your mind is awake (even to a small degree), you will have some degree of control. If you have no control whatsoever then you're just dreaming about being lucid, correct me if I'm wrong. |
|
my instinct tells me your wrong but you make perfect sense... All I can really remember is one time thinking to my self that I hope no one wakes me up from this dream.... Explanation = someone woke me up as soon as I thought that, so they were actually helping me reach lucidity... |

i have both first and third person dreams but mostly i have both at the same time.its like being in three places at once but only one place too... gah...i can never explain this.ok,i see and feel my body as i am in it but i also see my self from above and from the side at the same time.its like if i am flying over my self and walking beside my self while walking normally all at once.if you can understand that......anywho...i like to think of the three views i get as mind, body and spirit.body is the first person view while mind is the flying one and spirit is the one walking beside me.but i also have plain first person dreams where there is only one me.and i also have plain third person views where there are two of me and i am watching myself from above or to the side. |

Sorry to pull off topic for a moment, but I just wanted to add that one's "levels of lucidity" can be a subjective experience. Lucidity does not equal control except over one's own thoughts and actions. I think that there is also a difference from a dream persona being lucid and me being lucid. It's one thing for me to be consciously aware of a dream, and another for a DC following the story of the dream (with the story being that he/she is dreaming). |
