I don't usually dream in the first person. Well, not always. I don't even find that I dream a situation sometimes. Sometimes my dreams are just a hodge podge of images, sounds, concepts, and emotions. And even when I have a more experiential dream (that is, a dream where I am experiencing a scene taking place, or participating in that scene), there are many aspects of that scene that I do not believe that I fully experienced while dreaming.
But I love retelling my dreams. Even though I suspect that half of the narrative I tell is made up to connect the dots of the random elements I observed/felt in my non-waking experience. Connecting those dots is half the fun. It makes me realize how fallible my memory is. That I feel like I'm remembering the dream. But probably I'm just inventing it as I go along. Or maybe not.

Yeah it's like an extra bonus dream! Sometimes while trying to remember I come up with multiple alternate versions.
