It actually has me asking people I know off board how their memories work. So far nobody else (small sample though) has said they experience observer perspective. How are your dreams, btw?
My dreams are the same, though I remember so few of them. I cant remember when I last had a good dream. Still their is a character in my dreams who I know is me, who wanders around the dream doing things, that I know is me doing them.
Last serious dream I recall was after I played the video game 'prey'. That game really impressed me and I had a dream inspired by it where I was on a space station exploring it, the clearest memory I have of the dream is me exploring a virtual glass simulation of mars within the space station within my dream.
I should add that when I recall scenes from a movie or something, its not third person perspective of me watching the movie, but its also not first person perspective of the movie. I can recall details of the scene but the picture just is. It isn't part of a movie screen or a tv. Its not as I saw it, its just my best recollection of the movie scene as it was.
I also wonder if I have a bad visual memory and if maybe that influences how I remember things. I know what my friend dave looks like, if I see him I will recognize him. I wont have any doubts. If you asked me to describe him to a sketch artist I don't think I could. I often wonder how anyone can. I guess sketch artists have training to help you but I just cant see myself able to do it.
