Whenever I remember a dream or a lucid dream I always remember it as a 3rd person view for some reason. Although I do know in the dream it was a first person view, when I remember it I picture it in my head and most of the time its a 3rd person view. Does this ever happen to you guys?
That's happened to me a bunch before. Usually I only remember my dreams like that when I'm having really bad recall. Whenever I have a lucid it's always in first person. Before I started keeping a dream journal I used to remember them as if I were a third person watching myself, but after I started building up recall they slowly shifted to first person view.
Alot of times dreams bounce back and forth from first to third person. Could be a reason. Also you could very well be having these dreams in first and third person without realizing it. The mind is a powerful piece of equipment, lol. Or like cacophony said, bad recall can cause you to remember only bits and pieces of the dream. If you can't even remember those pieces clearly, than your mind could very well display your memories with distortion in the third person perspective even though they may not have been. I wouldn't worry about it. Just work on your recall and see if that helps any. Good Luck!
Mine are almost always either in first person, or as if from a camera in a movie. My memory doesn't really change(that I know of).
Hell all my memories are in 3rd person. Be it dream memories or real life memories. I honestly don't know why. And i know that most of my LDs were in 3rd person, which was a bummer, the only good ones were in 1st person.
