Occasionally it will happen that I change from myself to a new character in the middle of the dream. Almost every one of these dreams is a chasing dream, where my character is being chased and must out-wit or run great distances. Also, I can be either the main character or watch from a third-person view, like a camera &#8211; it flips back and forth without my conscious control. Does the context of the dream in this case matter in the interpretation, or is the most significant part the fact that I myself am not the principle actor, and if so, what does it mean?<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">-Lisa, Age 23, Champaign, IL, USA<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For the interpretation of the dream, click<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/different-me-2\/\" id=\"144\" option=\"com_content\">here<\/a><br \/><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Back to list of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/common-dreams\/\" id=\"27\" option=\"com_content\">common dreams<\/a><\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[2962,2956],"class_list":["post-35413","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-alter-ego","category-common-dreams-question"],"acf":{"article_id":"143"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/35413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
