I'm just curious- the dream interpretation books I've seen go into great detail about what a given kind of person means when you meet them in a dream, but they don't say much about being this other kind of person.
I have always remembered my dreams in great detail, and I am almost never myself in my dreams. It is like being in a role-playing game or a book or movie- I have a character and a situation, and I have my own knowledge plus whatever the character knows, and I know what "fits" and what doesn't. I can change characters several times in the course of a dream, or be in third person watching the dream- most like a book, I think. I don't get to choose who to be, though.
There doesn't seem to be any particular limit on who I can be. I have been old, young, male, female, occasionally a fantasy creature or alien. The only limit seems to be that my mind can't simulate things I have no experience at all with- no frame of reference, so the dream goes all wonky and fake if I try.
