In the dream interpretation course I took, we were encouraged to think we were everyone in our dreams, not just the "character" that obviously felt like us. I was a bear once and can still feel the rollicking roll of running down the street as a bear.

I think our unconscious grabs whatever we need to become "us" and then stages the feelings of the dream appropriately. I guess one of the major dream themes for me is "stairs" for example. My supporting characters are more often "not me" than the one that feels like me. Just the night before last I was fighting off a small dinosaur, a large yellow boa constrictor, and a baby caiman who were coming out of the swamp at the foot of my bed? I finished that dream only to get bitten in the neck by an unknown black snake and was holding it out at arms length, trying to get my husband to cut or chop off its head but he was dithering.

I think you must just do better when "you" move around and look out of different eyes, rather than having a zillion symbols to interpret, like I do. It does sound like an easier point of view to me! I would think of it as you trying on different "costumes". I don't see anything abnormal there, I don't think dreams can be abnormal? LOL

Thinking about it, I'm an over-thinker/reader, probably my "sight" is my best learning sense? You may learn by doing/physically or something? I think, so I get symbols to interpret. You may feel or do best?
