I just realized I sometimes dream in the 3rd person and observe everything as a movie, while other times it's like a POV shot.

Both, just like you. Some are through-my-eyes (POV), others are "camera shots"

The "camera" moments in which I see myself are usually with a camera set behind me and pointing down to me, like many RPGs frame their character. But it's also usually placed on the left side of me, not the right.

The most common exception to this camera setup rule is when I fly or swim, there it's a bit more difficult to keep track of the angle and location (though I still see my back most of the time).
