What do you suppose the person tense (tense... is that even the right word?) of your dreams mean?

My dad says he always dreams in the 1st person. I dream in a combo of 1st and 3rd. That seemed to blow my dad away.

Sometimes I dream in black and white, which also totally blew my dad away. I guess he always dreams in color.

'In our dreams, our sense of self, ego, is depicted by our own body, or sometimes simply by the sense of our own existence as an observer. In most dreams our 'I' goes on a series of experiences, just as we do in waking life, seeing things with our eyes ect. But occasionally we watch our own body and other people as if from a detached point of bodily awareness. If we accept that dreams portray in images our conception of self, then dreams suggest our identity largely depends on having a body, its gender, health, quality and relationships with others.
But the bodiless experience of self shows the human possibility of sensing self as having separate existence from ones health and social standing.'
