3rd person view?

As anybody else experienced this? In my dreams i often see myself in the third person. Is this normal?

My wife claims that this happens to her for most of her dreams.
And I've even had 3rd persion 'movie' lucid dreams.
It's perfectly normal, but personally I find it very irritating.

One trick is to go into one of the characters bodies and 'inhabit it' (possess it?)
Imagine it locking into place, because it can be tricky to stay there sometimes.

This is a normal thing to happen. In most of my dreams I see from both a first person and third person view. I like the third person view becuase it makes you realize that the dream world is your mind, and your body is just a part of that. If you want to see from first person you could always tell yourself that you can be both at the same time. Try to tap into your body's eyes.

I dream in third-person often.. I think it has its benefits as well..

I led a fairly sheltered life until i hit my mid-teens so I watched loads of movies to pass the time and of course my imagination put me in many of those movies during my day-dreams.. I think this may be a contributor to my third-person dreaming.. Just looks more natural in my head for some scenes I guess..

I never paid any mind to it, I suppose mine take place in both, depending. Most are 1st P though.

Since i haven't had a LD yet i guess in time i will experience that.
