For me it is always 3rd. Its almost like I'm an actor in my own dream. Few times I realize it, but then just wake up.

When you do that, does it involve a depiction of how you look from behind the back of your head (or from any other angle) that is true to how you look in the waking world, or are there differences? One thing that comes to mind is how people with DID say they dream, and I am intrigued to what's going on.

I would say over the shoulder is a veiw point I know but the back of my head as in a video game veiwpoint is kind of a rarity. More of a side on situation is the norm but sometimes the focus can frame me out as well.

I would say that maybe my film career might be relevant because it has the conventions of camera work but it's been that way since I was a child.

But my physicality is usually not "me" in the sense if what I see in the mirror every morning but a way more comfortable conception of me basically like you swapped a body type in a video game but things like skin, eye color and hair color are all basically the same... Most of the time anyway. I have definitely had some odd presentations of dream me.

So then you see yourself to a degree where you always notice what you're wearing?

Definitely. For the most part head to foot.
