: Re: Switching perspectives for a single chapter in a first person POV novel, to do or not to do? Allow me to explain what prompted the question before you immediately say that it's not okay and

I was planning to do this when I start with the other character's POV
and somehow explain how she was able to see things from his eyes when
she wakes up, but there is a problem with that plan.

I see absolutely no problem with that. If your character's magic/superpower/special abilities allow her to experience the world from someone else's point of view, it is unavoidable that she will eventually see herself, when inhabiting a friend's or even lover's mind. I suggest you emphasize the effect and let her learn a thing or two about how her new "host" thinks and feels about her...

It might be challenging, but worth it!
