Do you see your memories in 1st or 3rd person?

When you think of a past event involving yourself, do you see it in 1st or 3rd person? For those who see it in third person, don't you find it kind of weird since I'm sure most of those memories you don't see your own body, unless you're standing in front of a mirror, but still we imagine ourselves from 3rd person's point of view or kind of like a camera's view.

For me, I remember all past memories in third person.

How do you remember things in third person when you are seeing it from a first person perspective?

I remember stuff in first person, but its like I am however I am currently, if that makes sense. Now when I have "safety meetings" or when i "burn the devils dandelion", I tend to see my memories in third person to a degree. Not like video game third person but I feel like I'm observing it, not reliving it.

I see most of mine in First person. some i see in 3rd

My memories are in third person with Morgan Freeman narrating.

Its usually 3rd person.

"now im not completely sure, but does "burning the devils dandelion" mean what i think it does?"

I believe so... ;)

Billy, I love your avatar thing. Arrested Development is awesome.

3rd person. Though, some are 1st person as well.

After thinking about this.. either way. IT really depends.

I don't think one more than the other.

You'd be surprised. People can dream in the third person, so I don't see why people couldn't remember in the third person.

I remember most memories in a 3rd person, disembodied way, but some I remember in first person.

Edit: Actually when sit here and think back, I don't actually see myself at all. It's not exactly first person, but I'm not visible when I think of things.

This makes me think: If you never saw your reflection or a photo of yourself, would you be capable of thinking in such a way?

I would think so, but you'd have a different face than what you actually have. Like an amalgam of certain facial constructions.

Hmm, probably both. Somtimes 3rd, somtimes 1st

It's kind of wierd because I dream in 3rd person sometimes and as far as memories go.. either I guess. Especially if it's an event from a picture I've seen recently, then it's usually 3rd person-ish...

I thought I was the only one.

It depends.

If I'm really reflecting on a particular memory, maybe trying to see it judiciously, trying to see if I can lay blame on something that may have gone wrong, there's a good chance it'll be in 3rd person.

For the vast majority, I suppose 1st person.

When I think about the past, I don't necessarily imagine the events.

Always 1st person, because that's the way I saw them with my eyes.

First person

Most of the time I see my memories in first-person. But some I see in third-person.

Weird to think about. 3rd peson for alot of earlier stuff, first person for anything bow chica wow wow.

That question got all my memories mixed up. :?

Whats would 2nd person be?
just wondering..

But yeah, I tend to see things that are told to me and that I remember in 3rd person because they dont actually include me like... nvm, but yeah, I think about those things in 3rd person, and my own memories and stuffs in 1st person.
Normal I guess.

usually first person, I can remember random conversations from 17 years ago quite clearly like that

always third, which i find really really weird.

I've never actually thought about it before...but I'd say 1st person when it's a memory of me on my own and third person when it's a memory of being with a group of people.

1st always for me. :)

Both, lucky me.

I see mine in mostly third person...they always make me regret something...

I think mostly in First Person. I have dreams in Third Person though :P
