Speaking of Dreams...

[Gadgett]

Just wondering, I know when I sleep and dream alot of times I am male but am aware of my transgendered side. However there are like 1 or 2 when I appear female. So my questions is do you appear as male or female in your dreams and also how long have you been on hormones. My theory is that the longer your one hormones the more you appear as your true gender. am I right?

Also, What is the weirdest dream you've had? Mine was that I had the power to change from one gender to the other perfect in every detail in either modes. But when I was a girl my family never acknowledged or knew who I was but when I was a male they acted normal.  Anyone else care to share the mental stability of their dream world?

Loves,

I'm pre-everything for now, but in my dreams I tend to not even worry about my gender unless it's an actual issue in the dream. However, I do think that my body appears male in all of my dreams (although I also see myself as shorter and younger). I've had one or two dreams where I was a female, and they were dreams about doing normal everyday things like going to school or walking my dog. They were fabulous, by the way!

Actually the other night, as I posted in another thread, I was dreaming of sex with both genders, but I was female in both circumstances, so that's great!

There's also the dreams I have where I go out and buy a ton of clothes and makeup, but I always seem to be a boy in those.

As for weirdest, well...to be honest, I know I've had some really weird dreams, but I can't fully remember the weirdest one. Sorry .

My dreams seem to be 50/50 male/female ... but when I have a sexual dream, I'm ALWAYS male. I'm always in a bad mood for the whole day when that happens.

I think in most of my dreams I'm either male or exactly as I am right now. In fact my dream last night was about my birth mother and my sister (it was weird) but I was male in it and it made me really happy to wake up today.

I dream I am male with male parts.  I even have normal perfectly formed male parts, look no way like I do now, talling.

[Vincent E.S.]

I'm pre everything, but I'm almost always male in my dreams, or, at least, I'm always male when I'm human. Sometimes, I'm not a human, in which case I'm usually a hermaphrodite, or have nothing.

I'll have to think to remember my weirdest dream.
-remembered it-
My weirdest dream was me in a taxi in Moscow, trying to get somewhere. Everyone in the dream was speaking Russian, and all the signs were in Russian. I don't know any Russian whatsoever, and I couldn't understand anybody in the dream. I woke up feeling pretty frustrated.

So my questions is do you appear as male or female in your dreams

99% of the time, I appear exactly as I am in real life.  Sometimes I am more masculine in personality, though.  But physically, I am rarely different.

Also, What is the weirdest dream you've had?

I once dreamed that I was a jellyfish.

In about half of my dreams I'm just me - no gender apparent.  In the remaining half, half of the time I'm female and half of the time male.

My strangest recent dream was a total role reversal dream.  I was male in the dream but I was working in a house of prostitution that catered to women who were going out of town on business.  I wasn't doing too well because the women didn't think I was handsome enough.  One finally chose me.

I'm pretty sure that after full time transition I won't plan on sex work as my profession!

I every now and then have a dream where I am either female or transitioned.  My most reason one was where I was in a taxi in a city trying to get to a hotel, after telling the cabbie where I wanted to go, we were passing by shops and I was admiring the women's clothing on display.  I at some point looked down at my legs and realized I was wearing a skirt, and started to freak out, because I thought the cab driver would know I was a male (this was a dream where I was aware I was transgendered).  The cab driver asked me something and I was afraid to speak because I thought my voice would give me away, but then I finally answered and my voice was feminine and he treated me just as any other customer.

Not really my strangest dream, but dreams like that make me feel great when I wake up.

I tend to dream more female (used to dream male most of the time before hormones or considering transition, but not always).

Since hormones I have also had several periods of really disturbing dreams. Like abuse or rape or vulnerability or things ... which really freaks me out!

My strangest dreams have to be the REALLY funny ones though... where I wake myself up because I'm laughing so much in my sleep ><

Last night my dreams woke me up and left me uneasy, and I couldn't get back to sleep.

I was like a ken doll or something, no genitalia, but looking like myself, much paler and less angular than a ken doll.

I was a field biologist, and I discovered a new species of bluebird. I found a breeding pair. One was injured or sick, and missing some feathers, and so he was easy to catch. His mate could have flown away, but wouldn't leave him.

I examined the sick one, and he had mites all over him, some kind of parasitic insect that hadn't been recorded before. I took notes and photos and released the birds, and then went home and went to sleep.

I woke up the next day infested with the bugs. They looked like very tiny versions of the shield bugs that (in my climate and area) you tend to see all over the place. In real life they are much larger, and totally harmless. These were small, brown with white stripes, and parasitic.

I thought I killed all of them, but when I awoke the next day, one had grown to be almost the size of my hand. Its antennae and legs were long and rough, like the tall grasses that cut you if you grasp them and pull. It wouldn't let go of me. It was on my arm, and I asked a friend to get it off, and he did but it flew into the air and landed right back on my hand. I couldn't get it off, and I hadn't even named it yet. I was ashamed at feeling trapped and afraid of my own discovery.

I woke up feeling sketched out, and like that ->-bleeped-<- had gotten entirely too real for comfort.

That's a fascinating dream, Felix. Am tempted to attempt an interpretation but it wouldn't be the right thing to do.

My dreams haven't really changed much on HRT or at least I can't remember them before I was on HRT as it's many years ago. Have a few nightmares every now and then. Had one about the Devil and it was so terrifying that my then girlfriend woke me up as I was repeatedly saying 'lā ʾilāha ʾillallāh' while asleep. Thought the Devil was about to get me!

never tried hrt or anything. sex dreams are usually female, other dreams don't have a specific gender, but i'm often without breasts

once in my early teens i dreamt i was a hermaphrodite
another time a man in bed with a woman, but when it came to the most important part i couldn't get it up. so i looked down, just to see that my penis was gone. that was so freaky that i woke up, and it took me a little thinking to remember that i never had a penis in the first place

Ever since I was a kid I'd say most of my dreams I have no clear idea what my gender was, or even who in the dream I was, if at all. Almost like watching a movie. The about 10-15% of dreams that I have a clear idea I was in it, my gender is about evenly split boy/girl, definitely not trans. I can't recall any change in my dreams on or off hormones.

About a month ago was my first ever dream of a post-transition life. That came the night after I broke down and prayed for help, guidance and what to do. Practically a first for me to pray for me, and not exactly the answer I was looking forward to. Yet quite a few positive things have been happening for me, for my spouse, and our relationship.
