Do you dream as a different person?

I do. I have how I look in real life, and how I look in the dream world. Generally, ever since I was a little kid, my dream self has always been an adult in his late twenties or so, with a full head of hair (I've lost a good deal of mine), and fit. Occasionally (very rarely) I will be younger, but I don't dream with the current form I have. During a stretch of time where my soul was upset with the memories of the past, I used to dream in male or female bodies, and all kinds of different people. There would be different languages. Some I knew or recognized, or some that were too ancient to even remember. They weren't made up, as people thought, because in a French dream I remembered a phrase and asked my French teacher what it meant. She was surprised and shocked that I knew something that sophisticated, and told me we wouldn't learn that level. I've dreamt in Spanish, German, French, Latin, Japanese, and several I have no idea what they were. It wasn't fun dreaming them until they later got subtitles that I could read and understand (yes, my dreams were truly subtitled at a point). How many people can say that? Anyway, I don't dream much in my other forms, though a lot of the time, I'm not even in my dreams, like with the 'movie dreams'. So how about you? Are you yourself, or someone else?
