How do you view your dreams? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

99% POV. The one time that I can remember 3rd person was one of the times when I died in my dream. I fell from a cliff in the US Southwest, like Arizona. About 1/2 way down the fall, I watched myself fall the remainder of the way and hit the ground. I "walked" around the impact site for a bit and then left, but at that point, I don't know who "I" was since "I" was obviously laying on the ground, dead.

Another time that I died, I was stuck in my body after being shot in the head, but unable to move, so I don't think that dying is why the POV changed.

I can't remember any other time that it wasn't POV mode.
