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.

Tried IHadADreamLastNight. Since it's pretty much just general people talking about their dreams, it doesn't have much on obscure weird dream stuff. Nifty site, though.

Imagine that there is a dream self in charge of putting your dreams together for you and ask it to answer your question. Might be good to put that in writing and then also spend a few days recording the dreams as you wake regardless of what comes right away upon awakening. Might also be good to be on vacation as it could wind up taking a lot of time. When I tried it I had to quit after a week because as I wrote one down, the only sequence I remembered at first, I immediately remembered more, and this kept going till six or seven sequences were recorded using shorthand and codes and I was losing a lot of sleep time and getting to work late.
Once again my advice is the same as for anything else. If you want the information you will get it. Nothing fancy. Enjoy!
