It's funny.
I was thinking about this yesterday, about all my memories and I realized that I never see my memories in 1st person. I always see them in 3rd person; as in, I see myself from outside myself.
It's actually hard for me to visualize first person memories.
I find it odd.
Do you remember things in 1st or 3rd person? Or maybe even 2nd person (through the eyes of another person)?

Strange. I've never seen my memories in third person. Its always first person.

I've seen my memories mostly in first person too. I guess it's because it lets me remember what I was thinking and feeling at that time again.
My younger memories get more chances in the 3rd person perspective though.
EDIT: Now that I really thought it over, I'm seeing 3rd person view a lot...

First person. Because I tend to see the world from where I am and I don't really see myself in it.
However, if I need to analyse a situation I'll will myself to see it in third-person perspective, just to learn something from it.
The stronger memories are in third-person though.

Now that you ask this question... I realise it's kind of a mix for me. Intimate moments are more like first person for me and group moment memories sometimes have third person.

Haha, how interesting.
It's just odd. Like right now I'm sitting in front of this computer, watching my fingers type out this message to you, but if I remember this exact moment hours from now, I'll see myself at the computer.
I dunno. I can't think of a first-person memory atm either.
I feel like Googling this.

Good idea. I'm going to do so too.
What's the latest prominent/significant memory you've had?

All my dreams are in third person, except when I force them not to be. My memories don't really have a perspective, they just kind of play.

I see in third person, I guess. It's more like I piece together what I see and put the "camera" somewhere else.
I think in first person though.
I think it's because I write all my poetry/prose in third person (usually about something that happened to me), and refer to myself as "she" without a name or anything.
Hrrm. I think in more images than words, maybe that's why?

I usually see them third person, but I can switch perspective and direction of "camera" as I please. Developed spatial Intelligence ftw :x
