I am absent in my own dreams, is this strange?
I am absent in my own dreams.
When I fall asleep and dream, I do not interact directly with the characters in my dreams. It is sort of like being an audience in a play, the characters do not notice me, and I can watch and listen to them as they move through a story (sometimes I can even watch more than one group of characters at a time).
Often I am conscious that the story changes because of me; I will think of an interesting direction and the plot will start to reflect it (or the story may just change).
I am wondering if anyone else has dreams in which they are simply an audience?
Is anything dreaming like this suggests?
How do you interpret a dream you are not in?

It's strange to ME because I've only had a dream like that like maybe once in my life, but I'm sure several other people dream like that. You should just interpret what is going on before you. An audience can still find meaning in a film or play by just watching instead of being in it. And here's an idea... You say the story changes because of you, all you have to do is think it and it will be so, so why not try taking control of your dream and putting yourself in it? That would be an interesting direction for it to take, right?

Maybe this "dream" is a test developed by your subconscious mind. Try to relax, and if this problem continues, talk to your doctor
