It always struck me as odd, when watching films, tv etc.

If the protagonist is in a dream scene, its from a third person - camera angle (inception, Eternal sunshine, etc) does it make people think they also dream in this perspective?

Like an out of body experience?

Usually in first, but sometimes it's third.

I dream in 2D/Side-Scrolling, no lie. I grew up on Super Metroid, Flashback and Sonic 2... so it just stuck with me.

P.S. - I always wake up because I'm falling down a pit/abyss

First person, most of the times. Had some where I've watched myself.

I don't often visually dream, more like I have an awareness of myself and what's around me in my dream, but it feels like it's from a 1st person perspective nearly every time, though once in a weird dream I remember toward the end of it I was observing myself in 3rd person like I was viewing myself from a silent surveillance monitor, then I watched myself die... was strange

First person, and when I turn around or open a door the dream totally changes and it's madness.

Thats interesting, almost everyones dreams are hazy and hard to remember, but when I think about it in 3rd person, I tend to recall more of the dream.

viewing angle wise, sometimes It feels like im driving a car in GTA or something, I remember it as that, but also kind of visualize it again as first person if that makes any sense.

Because I am a true warrior FPS player, I always dream in first person, even if it turns ugly. In fact, I don't think I've ever had a third person dream.

I've had third-person dreams, and oddly enough I don't find them any less realistic until waking up.

I rarely remember what I wear in first person dreams, but I'm more aware of my own attire in third person dreams.

I switch back and forth from third to first in most of my dreams.

My dreams mostly play out like movies or tv shows with how they have several different angles.

Sometimes when I'm in third person, it's not even me.

I dream in both First person and third person.. Furthermore your interpretation of camera angle in Inception doesn't make any sense.. We are not looking through the view of a character, we are merely an audience watching the story unfold.. Our perspective has absolutely NOTHING to do with the story or how the characters are in the dream.

nope, not every dream. just the ones that are interesting and stick with me. i had a dream last night and still remember it and could easily write it down but it wasn't really significant so i won't.

but seriously keeping a dream diary is amazing. everyone should do it.

My dreams have always been in First Person, but some are hazy, some I can remeber and some dreams show me what will happen to me 2-3 weeks later or even a year ahead if I'mlucky.

Sometimes but not always, it's pretty much the same stuff I go through everyday in life.

Are you kidding? 60 fps is for kids, I prefer my image to screen tear with no screen cap. And I don't like destructive environments that much, CSS does it nicely.
