I've had all of these and maybe there's some others I don't know about? I've also had dreams where the point of view switches all of a sudden.
My most common POV is third person, with myself as absent from the dream. Second most common is first person, but I'm someone else. Of the dreams I can recall, I can probably number on my hands the ones where I am myself in a normal setting. Being that I'm a writer and have a large imagination, my perception of self is bound up in creation and I think my dreams reflect this.
I notice that my third person dreams procede like novels or stories with a plot and such, sometimes with wacky dream digressions that wouldn't make sense in a normal story.
Sometimes the 'camera angle' of my dreams just changes. I remember a particular zombie dream I had where I was in 'first person but someone else' but the view 'zoomed out' as that person started fighting a zombie. Damned scary dream. I shall put that in my dream diary when I make it.
My first person, myself dreams always look a bit drab. They feel the least real out of all my dreams, or the least involved or interesting. They're usually a bit direct and about how I regard someone else.. such as a recent one where my mother tried to euthanize all the pets in the house
Okay so.. what sorts of views do your dreams have n.n

I've been noticing a lot that when I'm lucid, I tend to appear as a maren. Usually SUSPi (the maren in me avatar ), or NiGHTS.

As for seeing marens... I've seen Jackle and Reala once, completely random in a non-NiGHTS dream. They stood a little bit away from where things took place, seemingly discussing something... like the weather, or what they were having for lunch. O__o Totally unrelated to the actual dream. XDXD

I've never had any NiGHTS-related dreams, though.

Though every so often I go into what I call "camera-mode" where I'm not physically "present" in the dream, but rather acting like the camera for a TV show or cartoon or something, concentrating on the adventures of random other people in the dream. These dreams are usually more entertaining than my first-person ones.

When I self induce lucidity I usually use a anime form but then it goes off in a real setting or a fusion of both (I have control over myself but not my settings so far.)
As far as speaking goes, its usually in the "dream language" but when it comes to me and MiD, we almost never talk, we let actions speak for ourselves.

And to further the 1st person, sometimes i'ts like i am inside my own head and i can see 2 eyeholes seeing what my eyes see. Its hard to explain. Really bizzare.

Heck, there was even one dream, I had twice...years apart, where I got shot in the head, and although it had been in first person until then, it swapped to third to look at my body.
Thinking about that now....that's actually rather scary.

I often wonder that here too...I do wonder if everyone is entirely honest about their maren dreams.
For my dreams it's generally a blend of all views from one moment to the next. Cameras will change randomly, but never feel jarring. More often than not it will be in a cinematic camera angle that often moves around the scene.
My personal favourite transition between third and first was when a character was watching TV. I was not present and watching this in third person. The camera slowly rotated around to this character and became that character's point of view... then the view zoomed in so I could only see what on the TV and nothing else, then the image on the TV became the new camera as a character walked past.
PoV is very fluid in my dreams.

I have that happen in my dreams all the time. It is usually in third person point of view and it is like I am watching TV. Sometimes if I am really invovled I will be in the form of my dream persona. Rarely do I ever see myself in my dreams anymore.

But I've had both, but my most lucid ones are seeing me in 3rd person.
In my 2nd or 3rd lucid dream, I woke up when an arm appeared in front of the "camera" and confused me. -.-' But I've had 1st person dreams too. And I've been in 1st person as another guy too. And then I get confused...
In my "maren dream" (it's in my dream journal if anyone actually cares to know what I'm talking about. Last one, by the way), when I got near him I had no idea if I was the "innocent" girl, me in my PoV, the "camera" or mix of 2 or 3. =.= *cof* Anyways...
I think 3rd person PoV looks good for who can't go to the cinema... Ah, that hurt. Hurting it does. Stupid joke. -.-

I'm barricaded within some local store, and these Naga are attempting to break through the gate. The "camera" makes a slight black box in my vision in 3rd person, and allows me to see the effort of the creatures while they attempt to break through, and I see myself doing what I would do in such a situation.
