You mean like seeing the back of your head? I never understood how people can do that. I dream through the same eyes I see things with in the waking world.
I find it intriguing how, in a world where we consider our dream adventures a figment of ourselves, dreams would have that level of detail foresight. Like why does the cookie crumble how it does?
Absolutely, dreams and how different we think is such a wonderful subject.
But would not our stories be a very important figment of yourself? At least for my self my creativy is very me. Maybe even more than this body of flesh.
For example that time when it was "filmed" with a super8 for you it would just a camera but it turned this mediocre dream to me go ohhhh it filmed on a auper 8!
I dream in 3rd person primarily and the sort of video game-ish angle you're thinking of isn't my experience. It's more like watching a tv show of yourself with you as the main character. You are in control of your actions in the dream and accept that wholly as you but it's like your veiw point changes like a series of fixed camera angles... But still seems fluid.
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.
