This Is Why You Can't See Yourself In Your Dreams

There is something to be said about the fact that we can't see all of our dreams, nonetheless seeing ourselves in them. Despite this, we can still have dreams that involve the self and our bodies. For example, some people experience repeated dreams in which they're naked. This often means that the recipient of these dreams needs to accept themselves and their bodies more and stop being too hard on themselves (via MindBodyGreen). Still, in these instances you're not seeing yourself from an omniscient point of view; you're still in your body and having a first-person view of your dream world.

Our best understanding is that you can't see yourself in your dreams because you're living your dreams out. You're seeing your dream from your own point of view because it's your dream world. You can even die while living in a dream and still live to tell the tale, but this happens in your normal first-person point of view (via HuffPost). 

Who knows, though? Maybe there are people who can see themselves in their dreams, or maybe certain circumstances are required to reach this different point of view in your dreams.
