But that still sounds first person to me. If you’re not in the events then “you” are still inside your singular consciousness as you watch events unfolding in from of you. It sounds more like you’re an invisible observer, but you’re still seeing these events from behind your own eyes (so to speak)
@LanternEverywhere Not really because it’s more like reading a book insfar as there’s a lot of stuff I “know” instead of see.
It’s hard to explain but I’m one of those people who doesn’t have an interior monologue and a lot of my thoughts are more like spatial/kinetic maps. So when I’m dreaming there can be things I’m looking at and other things I just know are happening without seeing them.
So that’s like 3rd person in a book. First person is where there’s a “me” of some kind that has consciousness.
