I actually had a dream that this happened to me. I was a trim young man in that dream. I lived in a big house.

If I was in somebody else's body, I'd have their memories and sense of identity, so I'd think I'd always been them, and wouldn't notice any change at all. For all I know it could be happening all the time.

That's assuming that the mind is a phenomenom arising only from the complexity of the brain, but I'm pretty sure of that.

OTOH if my brain had been transplanted overnight, I'd probably be quite freaked out.

I would wonder how my astral body (soul) got stuck inside them. I would look around their house to see if they were into magic or esotericism. Maybe I could get help from their friends. Aside from that, I'd be careful not to mess up their lives, as I'd assume it's a temporary swap.
