Most of my dreams are like this, but not all... Sometimes I am in my body, experiencing the dream as me. Where I cannot see myself.
Anybody have dreams like this?
And why do I dream like this so often????
I would be inclined to think you are familiar with video games that use that sort of Point-of-View. So, familiarity.
There used to be a common opinion that normal people dreamed black and white, and unusual people dreamed in color. A study was conducted which concluded that it was people of a certain age, namely those who grew up watching black and white television, who dreamed B&W. Those who didn't watch television dreamed in color, as did younger people who grew up in the days of color television. B&W was only statistically normal, because statistically, they, the B&W watchers, were the norm.
Say now, then, we are in the age of 3D video games, therefore, different Point-of-View may become more the norm. Apart from that, the behind yourself dream may be as a non-playing actor/observer, whereas the inside yourself dreams have more personal feeling and motive involved; playing yourself so to speak; as your own avatar.
