But the more interesting question is whether there is anyone out there who has 2nd person experiences of these sorts of things.

What is even 2nd person perspective?

It would be like someone else narrating your actions, mostly from a past tense, but it can be future tense and future perfect tense too. Instead of 1st person where you say 'I' did something or 3rd person where you would say 'he' did something, 2nd person uses 'you' did something from another person's point of view.

example: You got up this morning at 6:30am. You showered, shaved and brushed your teeth. After you finished getting dressed, you went out to grab some coffee and head to work. You will have lunch at 12-noon as you usually do. When work is done, you will go get shitfaced at the bar and hookup with some skank who will then give you herpes.

Lol okay, I get it. That reminds me of guided mediation or hypnotic induction, where the narrator is guiding “you” through the process to achieve an aim.

Always third person. Now that I think of it, my memories are in third person too. Like I'm always observing myself from the outside.

Yea, I’ve been noticing that I’ve done that a lot of the time also. The thing I’m finding out is that you may as well be giving your desire away to someone else, because viewing it happening in the third person is giving your brain instructions to witness it happen, not actually receive it.

This is a fascinating insight.

Thank you for sharing it.

You’re welcome. Also, I think it works better to saturate your unconscious mind with a short scene taking place after you’ve already achieved your desire. Research into Neville Goddard for more info. There is a 10 in 1 book compilation oh his available for sale for about $25 (author is deceased).

That's creepy dude

Is it? My memory isn't of my sensory input but of the 3d model that I build of the world.

Can you imagine an apple tho.

Cool , I have had dreams where I'm observing myself , I'm watching like a spectator. I can't recall the dream details or anything really after about 2 minutes after waking from it.
Am I the dreamer or the dreamed ? Weird

All of my thoughts, dreams, and memories involving me are in the 1st person. I'm me experiencing them as if I were there.

What does it mean, either way?

My memory is primarily photographic which is by default first person.

Expectations of future or imagination are often nebulous or 3rd person.

This has interesting implications.

If I try to jerk one out "imagining it" it's actually just me narrating a story. Images in the mind for me are so weak and hard to conjure. At most 5-10% transparency, greyscale

I use all three. I have an overactive imagination and never lost my imaginary friends.

Sometimes they'll narrate me doing things sarcastically or when I daydream I'll picture from a third person. Also happens in dreams often when I'll turn to a ghost and have that perspective outside my body.

I'm way out there.

For me its like watching a movie, but I can move the camera around for different perspectives and then go 1st person, or pause or rewind too. Its kinda fucked up, really. Last time I told someone that, they looked at me funny and got real quite. I don't know, I can visualize math problems like if I were looking at a calculator, or if I'm thinking of an object I can 'see' it in my mind.

When I was in second grade I thought I had cheated on my spelling test because I just pictured the spelling list in my memory like a photograph and copied the words.

Very cool. It’s astonishing to me to think that there are people who are actually unable to visualize at all except for perhaps some blurry imagines. I can take a cube and imagine it as being holographic and watch it rotate around and morph in and out of itself simultaenously, for example.
