In the end it led me to this post. I'm still really confused and dont really understand y I only remember stuff or dream in a way that it feels like I'm watching myself go through the memory or past experience. Also I usually find it really hard to explain this to others. I havent met one person so far that has the problem as me. To be completely honest I thought when I googled this there wouldnt be any available sites to click on at all. As if this is just something that I have. It's nice to realize I'm not some weird person that has out of body experiences or something.

The person who created movies undoubtedly was trying to create something where he could allow other people to see what he himself saw in his own head. People today will relate third person to a movie because it's a perfect description of how they feel. Most likely before movies people simply said, I can see myself or I'm watching myself. That's my opinion on the subject.

The only best way I can explain. Is that when I was younger, I would blink, and then all of a sudden I was viewing myself but from a stranger's perspective but I would still be able to react to things while watching myself. I was around 4-5 at the time. I had to have been because I wasn't going to school. I started super late at the time and ended up skipping kindergarten. And a lot of my memories were me seeing myself. Like how you'd see your sibling or parent? But you'd see your own face and body instead. And it wasn't all of the time it bounced back and forth. Like ok time I ended up choking on a peppermint and went to get help. Next thing you know it I blink and then see myself walking to get help and being patted on the back. I blink again and thw whole settings changed. I don't even know what happened, but obviously I didn't die, but it's like parts of it just skipped. And my image(or memory) changed and I'm no longer in that house choking on a candy I'm walking with my mum hold her hand at night home. I blink again and I'm back to the memory being in first perspective as we go home. I really hope someone else can relate to this. I just now thought of it all and wanted answers and then I found this website. Sometimes I'd blink and I would be taken to something not even realistic. Maybe they were dreams? I don't know because I don't ever remember waking up from them. I just remember blinking and then going back to reality. I kind of feel a bit lost and stupid but I kind of am just hoping that I'm not alone, or that there's an actual answer for this because I'm normal now and I've never had it happen to me again, so I suppose I grew out of it? I don't know, I hope this kind of help someone see it from a different perspective...Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877651821174123499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26951738.post-63805057985296668572020-08-11T22:49:26.873-07:002020-08-11T22:49:26.873-07:00I have never in my life had a dream or memeory tha...I have never in my life had a dream or memeory that was not 3rd person.

Also I experienced a re-curing dream when I was twelve... I asked my mother to help explain the dream as it seemed familiar. When I finished telling her about it, my perspective of the dream was that of an actual person who participated in the true event. As time went on the dream came back several more times with added detail, just that my past self wasn't in the added detail, just the original part from before (if that makes any sense to anyone but me).<br /><br />So I started keeping tabs on my dreams and memories... all of my memories that I do have are from 3rd person, but not a participating 3rd person. In adulthood, most of my memories of childhood are in 3rd person and they weren't told to me, but they are viewed as a short video clip, such as someone is recording my life. When I try to review the memory so that I relive them, I am not able to. Like someone asks you what you were thinking at a given time, my honest answer is I don't know. I have had memories half and half, half in 1st person and half in 3rd person and I am also able to relive them too. <br /><br />When I look over pictures from the past, most if not all, I can't recall at all in my memory, I have never been able to recall letters I have written and sent off. To this day I have no memory of what I wrote in an 8 page hate letter I wrote to my ex-husband. If I am able to locate the received writings of my father I sent to him, I can't remember on my own what I wrote, or if I am able to locate them I can't remember what was going on in my life to cause me to write what was written. As an example, I will be copying this comment to my computer hard drive so that I will not forget what was said. <br /><br />As I was explaining earlier about going on auto-pilot when I am driving, It is now happening when I bicycle, because I am so used to the routes I take, my body and mind feel comfortable to step away from the cockpit and delve into other areas of personal study.<br /><br />I am just trying to get a better handle on myself, any thoughts are appreciated.Rene`noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26951738.post-15126941385645801152018-08-15T13:48:27.698-07:002018-08-15T13:48:27.698-07:00Almost all of my memories are in third person, esp...Almost all of my memories are in third person, especially the older ones but more recent are also in third person.

Hi..
(whilst awake) I u...Benjamin O'Donnell...<br /><br />Hi..<br />(whilst awake) I used to have the same thing happen to myself and it was whilst in periods of great distress, always stressed and drinking alcohol or smoking weed or both. Alcohol made this, what i like to call -passenger time- worse and caused us to dissociate to the point of losing memory (amnesia style), kinda like what we would imagine possession from another entity/soul/spirit to feel like. The times it was amnesia and not passenger the MEMORIES would replay like watching from a 3rd person viewing, like watching yourself through someone elses eyes, very freaky, but the worst were the -passenger times- and the memories from them, trying to explain them is difficult with our language, but the best way would be, whilst awake it felt like possession, how that has been explained/described, you can see what is happening, you are fully conscious, but you have no control, it's like someone has sedated you and taken control of your body, you're looking through inside your head instead of your eyes, like your site of where your vision is coming from has sunk into your head. Memories somehow aren't very visual, but we somehow know certain things, like remembering a dream (very vague and very little to no visual), but yet we somehow remember (even without visuals) memories in the amnesia/possession(like) times as if floating above ourself and watching us from an outer body point of view (soul left the body/birds eye view)... Lately we are losing memories and they feel false, like they aren't my own. less stress, no news/television, next to no media, very few close people in our life and listening only to ourself and nobody else on what is right for us no matter how frowned upon it may be, no alcohol, smoking some herb and being as closed off or open as we need or wish to be and shutting out as much noise from surroundings (what others view you as, political nonsense etc), has helped by keeping us in a calmer place.... But now we hope to do what we now believe to have been what we like to call -soul travelling-, in a more willing manner instead of times of immense stress or traumaSarah Aka Lili-Fae-Nexushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201705725541303313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26951738.post-87425374285580081582018-04-18T16:45:02.096-07:002018-04-18T16:45:02.096-07:00I came to this site looking for an explanation tow...I came to this site looking for an explanation towards my problem. You people are talking about my problem in your dreams but in reality this is happening to me, It happened mostly as a child but wore of as i grew older. It still happens from time to time and can cause mayhem for my social life. When it happens I sort of go into 2nd and 3rd person view and it feels as if i don't control my movements but body like I already have a plan were I am going and the only real thing I can do is just look. It mostly happens in bright conditions and loud sounds drums, fireworks, big laughter, huge crowds and the list can just go on forever.

It's strange, a few nights ago I was sat thinking about how weird it is that we remember things as if we're an outsider looking in (I had always assumed that was just how the memory worked). I tend to think about random things when I can't sleep and sometimes while I am sat here i feel like I'm watching myself sit here so it wasn't that big a deal but the following day my 10yr old asked me how he is able to see himself in his memories when he's the one making the memories through his eyes and shouldn't that mean he sees his memories like he did through his eyes. He wanted to know how he can see things that he wasn't looking at at the time the memory was made (example he gave was how can he see things that are behind him when he couldn't see them at the time). I told him I also see my memories that way and it's just how the brain works. However my dreams Are the opposite and are mostly through my eyes as they're really vivid and I often wake up thinking it was real life. My 10yr old has described this to me too. I always thought the memory thing was the same for everyone but what my 10yr old said stuck with me and I had to do some research to find a real answer.. like how are we seeing memories (things that actually happened) through someone else's eyes in a way but dreams (which are not real) we see as if through our own eyes and real life? It's so strange.. do you have any recommendations for scientific studies on this topic?Novahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231896291987349954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26951738.post-52890978756266058062018-01-26T00:25:18.888-08:002018-01-26T00:25:18.888-08:00I'm 14 and I've been remembering in 3rd pe...I'm 14 and I've been remembering in 3rd person.

It really helps me out in reality though because I can understand what happened around me and such. One thing I think is interesting about it for me is that although my memories are in third person generally I am unable to see my face from this perspective. I do have to agree with an earlier post made however about the concept that our memories are taking on similar form as that of movies, whenever I think about the subject I generally relate my perspective in my memories to movies and even largely books. I am also very curious about the prospect of people from other cultures that are not largely focused on entertainment such as TV and movies if they have a similar point of view in their memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26951738.post-88615021761314113072017-02-05T22:20:23.754-08:002017-02-05T22:20:23.754-08:00That's why I'm here.
