So one day I was having Shower-Thoughts ® and I suddenly realize that most things I fantasize/imagine are in the third-person I.e. I view myself/the protagonist from a floating, third-person view rather than placing my awareness inside them.
So do you guys imagine things from a first-person or a third-person view when imagining things? Or perhaps you imagine things from a second-person view? Maybe you spice things up an go for an alternating-view...

Definitions (Shower-Thought ® patents pending):
First-Persion: You are the "main character", using thoughts like "I" and view the situation from your limited perspective, just like real life.
Second-Person: You narrate the fantasy as though speaking to yourself, I.E. "You wake up, confused, bullshit ensues..." I'm not sure if you view from a first-person or a third-person perspective because this is the rarest perspective and you're probably weird for thinking like this. <.<'
Third-Person: You view the situation as though a third person judging events. You are not limited to what the characters in your fantasy see/know. You may be limited to a single character's knowledge or you may be omnipotent, giggling at how stupid your Imagination Avatar looks because he's too shy to grow some balls and ask out that girl who he's been crushing on cause he thinks she wouldn't be interested but she just plays it cool when he's around to try to impress him or something...
Alternating-Person: You jump back-and-forth between a limited first-person view and an all-knowing third-person view because you are spoiled and selfish and just can't be satisfied with sticking to a single perspective like the rest of us.
