Definitely first person, I don't remember much of my dreams but I do know i'm seeing them through my eyes. At least I think they're mine.

first person unless I try to manipulate it but that usually wakes me up

First person when the party in question is actually me, I only ever seen this perspective.
But from time to time dreams will mix some game I played with the actual dream then it can be third person, or even 2D, that's usually an indicator to play games a little less.

Wow, that's really weird. I just assumed everyone dreamed in first person since that's what I do. My dreams ARE always in first person. While I can't necessarily remember the content all the time, I'm definitely sure of that.

I had to vote first-person, even thought it's not always the case.

And to whoever said they don't dream; you're lying. You dream, you just don't remember.

First, primarily, but I switch views depending on the situation in my dream (or if I'm doing an instant replay, which I do a lot while asleep).

Dreaming in third person is interesting it is like watching a movie, only when I become aware that I am dreaming does it switch to first person

Loose first person I believe, maybe second person or something. It can switch around as it goes along.

I only have two dreams, and they are recurring nightmares. They're both in third person.

And if you're curious:

Dream #1: I'm hanging from a spire on top of the Empire State Building and waving like a flag. That's it. I'm terrified of heights, so it freaks me the hell out.

Dream #2: I'm being chased by zombies. Also something that freaks me the hell out. I fucking hate zombies. Why did someone have to think them up. Asshole...whoever you were.

I can't really tell when I am dreaming in what perspective I am currently in,but I would say a bit of both.

When I come across the occasional dream that I do remember, it is typically in both first and third person. Not at the same time of course, but it alternates.

It can be a mix of the two, depending on the dream. If I die in a dream (which is 80% of the time) then my view goes to a third-person perspective. Otherwise, it is in first person.

Uh I think it's usually in first person (at least those that I remember) which is kinda weird since I sometimes dream I'm other people but there is the occasion when I'll dream in Third person.

The odd thing is, I almost never dream that I am myself, which in turn manifests as a sort of strange 2nd person view, where I see in first person but know more than I should about my surroundings(like hearing other people's thoughts, just creepier).
