What Did You Dream About?

[YBtheOutlaw]

background info: i have 2 mirrors in my room. one shows only the part of me above breast level, that's shoulders and face. the other shows the part below hips, that's bottom half of pelvis and legs. the mirror placement helps a lot with body dysphoria. went li'l bit off-topic, but i suddenly realized how good my mirror idea is.

so the dream is, i was looking at the mirror which shows shoulders and above, and i had grown all hairy. way hairy. i was topless, so i could see hair on chest, shoulder and arms, as dense as hair on my legs (yeah my legs are hairy. awesome) then there was hair on my face, not beard, just hair like the rest of the body. super long peachhair maybe. anyway it had grown where beard is supposed to be, so at a glance you'd think it's beard shadow. felt very good. whole day afterwards i was thinking i have more hair than i used to have yesterday.

Last night I had a dream that I was a copyrighter in Mad Men. We got the American Airlines contract and we were all talking about making a television commercial for them. I came up with an idea of having a little kid playing with a toy airplane and making little airplane noises. Then the kid goes to throw the airplane and as the toy is released in the throw it turns into a real airplane flying out of his hand and into the horizon. The tag line then comes up and says "American Airlines: Where ever your imagination takes you" or something like that. I think I was Peggy.

You would have been Peggy, she's sharper than the guys by far!

There are four of us playing some sort of game - two men and two women. It's a physical game, involving hoisting one's partner up something that looks very much like a fl->-bleeped-<-ole. As play progresses, the women begin to dominate. Not just in the sense of winning, but in terms of the overall tone/dynamic of the game; it is their sensibility that gradually takes over.

At a certain point, one of the men protests this situation. The women continue as before - becoming stronger and more dominant. One of them is almost flying atop the fl->-bleeped-<-ole by this time. Her arms spread in a Kate Winslet, bow of the Titanic way. Wind blows her clothing.

The men look at this for a few moments, then dejectedly walk away.

Hmm, this might be meaningful for you Tanya!

Hmm, this might be meaningful for you Tanya!

Yes, it's quite doozy! Had two or three along these lines lately. Takes me a while to get it, I guess!

I'm not religious but I do believe that we get spiritual prompts like this which seems to me that you are getting inner approval to let go and move ahead with your transition. What do you think?

Yes Shantel, I would agree. Curious timing. I have kind of frozen lately - haven't taken any new steps in a while. My most recent ones, perhaps, involved coming here and consciously acknowledging that I'm transgender. There was a great sense of movement in both these and it felt wonderful. Then movement stopped and those nasty twins dysphoria and depression rushed in. This is when that dream appeared. A prompt indeed.

Last part of my dream before I woke up, a guy was looking at my boobs. He took my bra off and said I didn't need it yet but then he felt them and said they were definitely budding and growing. Was kinda creepy but I'll take it as a good sign!

He wanted to pet the nice kitties?

I was at the Punk Festival and met Chris the skinhead who stayed with us,the weird bit is it was so much like what happened in real life.We had a few drinks and watched some groups just like we really did then the dream bit came in and we took it to the next level.I hate alarm clocks!

I dreamed about shredded pepper steak.  I enjoyed the smell and look of it and wanted to eat some.  I also dreamed that it was trash day and there was some gigantic new trash pick up machine that involved a crane and it was so cool to watch.  I screamed for my mom to come watch the trashmen pick up our trash in this cool new machine but she didn't come and instead, she started to tell me to do stuff.

Very strange,I had very long red hair and was wearing big black boots and  a long black leather coat with a sawed off pump action shot gun inside.I also had an automatic handgun and was kicking in doors looking for someone

Had a dream as my male self with someone I used to know in high school who I had a crush on. I was just sitting ontop of something with her (i believe it was a car) in the middle of an abandoned road similar to GTA: San Andreas rolling hill street. I was just sitting there next to her while breaking the teeth off of a plastic fork (for some reason the teeth felt endless as I observed myself doing this) and I threw the onto the ground like I felt it was rebellious or something. And I leaned and offered her a turn with the fork and she took it smiled and scolded me with the fork for making a big mess on the ground and I chuckled and slowly I woke up.

I will note that this scene had a semi-sepia feel to it. Familiar like, but this never happened in the natural world.

First dream I've remembered in ages.
It wasn't anything exciting... parts didn't make sense

I was at a water park of some sort... and waiting in a really long line for coffee. That somehow just turned into a coffee shop with a really long wait.

I was talking with some people there... a young woman and her mother. The young woman was very smart but not too social - for some reason she was slightly famous - I'd remembered reading about her (some sort of science / tech minor celeb or something). The last thing I can remember from the dream... very close to waking up... was that I hoped she was a lesbian.

I don't know if I was male or female bodied... I felt normal, but I think I started out male (at the water park).


EDIT: I also remembered an earlier dream from last night.
I saw a sign in a store:
If you were buying toys for charity... you got a 51% discount, but you had to prove it (with some sort of registered form or something). If you couldn't prove it... you could only get 49% off.
(yeah... the numbers don't make sense. It's MY dream )

I showed my wife and she got excited... and I told her we couldn't do it. I thought, in the dream, about how people with integrity always lose.

I consider myself to have a lot of that (integrity).

Two in a row... and this one's good

I'd somehow found out about an experiment with my birth where I was born female. There was an actual comparison to the movie "Twins" in my dream, too (I haven't seen that for years). I dragged my father to the lab and got him to hook me back into the experiment. There were other scientists around too. I had to fiddle to make the physical servers and virtual machines connect to the right display (weird... but probably sources from some IRL techie problems I'm having). Once it was working, I saw a small girl with shoulder length blonde hair. That's also weird - I've always had brown hair... though my mother and sister are blonde.... that's where the dream ended.

How am I suddenly seeing my dreams again??!! I'm not complaining (other than feeling forced to log in here at 2 am).

In my dream, my boss commented on the number of sick days I've been taking recently for medical appointments. I said that I'm being treated for something and have to see a lot of specialists. Then he jokingly responded "prepping for a sex change, eh?"

This is a variation on an actual conversation that I had with him a few weeks ago. I had to take a day off to go to the endo (3 hour drive). When I told him that I had to go to the big city for my appointment, he joked that there were only two reasons he could think of to have to do that: hemorrhoid surgery and vasectomy, so I must be doing one or the other.

I dreamed that my ex-wife was seducing me because she wanted to get back together. Basically, she was testing to see if she really could be intimate with a male-bodied woman. Then I woke up, alone.

(if the dream is too graphic let me know and I'll edit it)

Had a dream I was in a hospital as a pre-teen male. I wandered the hall and turned left and saw a door to a mini kitchen. On the stove was a delcious pot of green beans. I was confused since no one was watching it, then turned around to leave. Before I left I saw my Dr. on her cell phone entering. She made a comment to me about am I cooking these beans. I replied with a no and that I didn't know who was cooking the beans and left. She closed the door and in front of my I saw a caged entrance to an old (new) subway.

There were to other boys a bit older than me waiting like I was for it to be open. The eldest boy lean on the gate and me and the other randomly decided to pole dance with the support beams to the subway entrance. I jumped up with my two hands and gripped it with ease (I knew I was dreaming at this point) I shifted my weight to the right and swung my legs upside down for a pole handstand. Slowly I allowed myself to slide down upside down then landed gracefully for another round. I gripped the pole with both hands and climbed. I tried to shift my left hand up to brace, but I lost my grip and found myself freefalling and landing hard on my back. I startled the doctor in the other room and she came out to survey the scene. She saw the other boy sliding down his support beem and me about to get up for another round. I turned around in shock as she scolded us for our behaviour and we scattered in opposite directions.

The dream restarted from the same point of me getting ready to fall. I got up unphased and tried again. The doctor didn't come out of the room, but something me and the other boy did caused the fire alarm to go off and we three panicked and ran seperate ways.

I started to power walk down the hall but heard foot steps. I looked around and a started to scale the wall. I pushed aside a ceiling tile and climbed in an air shaft. I acrobatically turned around and peered from the ceiling as doctors ran through the hallway. I backed up in the vent shaft and saw another 3 ceiling tiles removed and a open vent with no sides. The laboratory staff weren't paying attention so I slinked by them and began crawling furiously through to the end.

I somehow ended up in a open park type area. It was fall and there was nothing but water in front of me. I was still a young boy and started to run through the water toward the end where a huge boulder and a tree stump lay. I looked back to see if I was followed.

The dream restarts, but this time the water was swampish. It was still fall and daytime with the enivornment donning a orangish surreal hue. There was precursor scene of an aligator's back slinking in the water. I looked next to me and start to  walk on this leaning tree to see if I could reach the other side. The aligator jumped from the water and snapped at me. I felt a jolt of fear as I saw it charge. It jumped up again it's full body out of the water and something happened. As it landed either someone killed it or it just randomly exploded. I didn't stay to find out so I start to run across the left over branches of the tree and tried to run waist deep in swamp water. After splashing and hopping I finally made it to the boulders and trees. I looked behind me to see if I was followed.

I had a dream where i was forced to move into the basement.
