I'm not sure this is the best section to post this, but I didn't know where else to
It often happens to me in my dreams that I am someone else and not truly me. In some dreams I retain my consciousness (in the sense that I know I am still me despite having a different appearance), in others I'm a completely different person. I can be literally any type of person: older, younger, male, female, but most of the time I am a guy around my same age (note on that: I am a cis woman with no desire to be a man whatsoever, in fact I always feel very uncomfortable in the dream in which I'm a male but I retain my consciousness). I would say that these type of dreams and way more common for me than the dreams in which I am truly, completely myself
I noticed a pattern in these "depersonalized dreams", as I've started to call them: they're usually dreams in which something bad or unpleasant happens to me. I sometimes also have dream in which I'm completely myself that are unpleasant, but they're not as common. I guess that's a way of projecting my fears into someone else that is not truly me
But whenever I tell people this and ask them if they've had similar experiences, everyone always tells me that they're always themselves in their dreams, so what I wanted to ask here was if someone has an experience similar to mine, and if there's any explanation for it (I didn't find anything about it)
