Most of the time 1st person, sometimes 3rd person like a TV or drone camera showing me with the scenery around, like I'm watching a movie. Very rarely is it following behind my head like in a 3D video game.

Unless there is some sort of cinematic scene or I am not the focus of the dream, the dream is 100% first person.
I have found a bit of a way for me at least to control wether it's first person or theird person. Often when I'm just daydreaming some fantasy until I fall asleep the dream is 70% of the time first person. But when I'm daydreaming some sort of movie until I fall asleep 70% of the time my dream is theird person and if I'm just thinking random thoughts like who am I gonna take my car to get it's oil changed 70% of the time there's no dream. I just open my eyes and now it's mid day.
People dream?
1st
I don't really remember my dreams well enough to answer that...
I dream in first person, and sometimes if I realize it I can lucid dream.
I dream exclusively in 2nd person.
@ivanafterall I knew someone out there was dreaming about me!
Actually you were the second person
Yes, please stop watching me.
My most vivid dreams have always been in first person. But I'm not always me. One dream I remember in particular is that I think I was a younger sister to an older brother? Other than that one time, all my dreams I have always been me. Even when I dream of movies or some some sort of third person narrative it feels like I'm watching a movie on a TV.

First person.
It's always first person for me, but the one lucid dream I ever had I dreamed I was playing kirby on a gameboy advance and I was absolutely the kirby. So I suppose that was third person at least once.
Second person, i think..? I'm the viewer, distinct from myself, but also not a detached non-entity. The dream body is never mine.
Depends. I can be me, an invisible, incorporeal observer or someone else. My POV changes depending on the action.
I can dream in color, with nuances that cannot be expressed, or black and white. I can dream in pseudo-blindness where I don't see anything, but I know what's happening. I can dream in text where all I see are letters, well more like symbols... Full sentences aren't part of my repertoire, but I can catch a word or two before they squiggle and change into incomprehensible garble.
I can even simulate physics at times, but it's not pleasant.
I know it's all me because I can become anyone and anything. I was a rock, a bullet, a bird, a fish, a dragon, the abyss, a tree, even the enemies I was fighting against when the plot took that direction. Nothing is fixed.
I have dreamed in third person, but I don't think I could tell when the last time was. I dream a lot more often in first person.
4th. Like deadpool.
Either like cinematic or just first person view
First person I guess, because I don't remember shit. Also I don't really dream that much, but still more than a decade ago.
Most, if not all, of my experienced dreams so far, have been in 1st person, as if I'm the one living through whatever realism-fantasy-scifi shenanigans I'm in; thing is, most of the time, they're almost exclusively set within my home province, including the central capital city, highways and all.
Consuming and creating various creative media also has its own part in aligning perspectives in those dreams, as well as how the supposed "plot"/"storyline" plays out in its entirety.
The only dreams I remember are those where I'm stabbed or punched in the back because I wake up with back pain.
Yes!
Typically first person.
No
