What Did You Dream About?

[ErinWDK]

Sometimes I have strange dreams, and then there are the times the dreams go well beyond strange.  Last night I dreamed I found a cat in my house.  This was a little cat all half starved and raggedy.  It wanted to be fed, but didn't want anything to do with me.  As this went on I discovered that there was a homeless woman living in my house and the cat was hers.  It was rather unreal to think someone could live in my house and me not know it - but that explained why I was missing so much food...

As this went from one odd event to the next I found out there was another homeless family living in my house as well.  The house in the dream was a composite of several of the houses I have lived in over the years and had all sorts of places these people could hide.  I didn't freak out but I really did wonder how all these people got in past locked doors...

My real though is that dreams are the subconscious mind doing housekeeping.  What on earth provoked this is utterly beyond me.

Last night I kept waking up from dreaming there were people in the house. I heard someone playing a keyboard, woke up and there was nobody there. I heard a guy and girl arguing, woke up and nobody was there. I heard a loud bang like toppled furniture, woke up and checked the house and it was all fine. I saw a smiling guy writing letters in the air with his fingers, woke up planning to ask him to leave so I could sleep, and of course there was nobody there. Really annoying and not restful, but it worked out okay because I didn't need to be at the top of my game for anything that went on today.

I just remembered I also dreamed that a former close friend of mine died. The dream was so vivid and mundane - reading obituaries one after another - that I had to check to be absolutely sure it was a dream and not a memory. I assume this is due to anxiety about having disappeared myself to him years ago, but I'm not sure that contacting him would be a positive experience for either of us.

That I got lost in Thailand and for some reason everyone was speaking Russian. . .

I love this profile pic. (shuu...)

Well my dream was of a friend (let's call her K) chasing me around through this weird crowded alleyway, with some sort of festival going on in it, with lots of stands and little shops or whatnot. Chasing me into a dark and empty concert hall,  she sort of switched or merged or fluttered about into existence as another person, this time a magician clown character, with demonic powers, which I had to quickly escape from. I eventually managed to this running back into the festival, after which I was doing my best to avoid both her and the clown-magician-demon that had split from her by then. Meanwhile with some faceless figures that I suppose were my acquaintances I discussed whether K's new boyfriend ( who she had been friends with sometime before this, and I too had been friends with) had latent homosexual desires suppressed because of his Christian upbringing, and whether the reason that K was chasing me was because she was dissatisfied with her new relationship and desired someone else. Eventually I decided to ignore these questions, and camouflaged myself in the crowds so that K would have thought I had left; accepting that they were in a relationship, and deciding to hope for the best for them, regardless of what feelings I may have once held. The clown magician decided he didn't want to kill right then, and we talked about something or other, and somehow walked off as if in some odd reference to Casablanca.

I dreamed that I was going clothes shopping with my mom and I saw this cute frilly dress but I couldn't get it because I had to buy men's clothes....

I dreamt I was stood at a long white table covered in purple irises and surrounded by lots of similarly decorated round white tables with guests sat at them. Above were lots of white chandeliers and very slightly pink balloons. In front of me was a podium with an ornate silver platter. On the platter was an appointment card for facial surgery that looked more like a birthday card. When I opened it everyone applauded.

I get the idea brain, the symbolism is a little direct though and makes me look incredibly narcissistic.

a psychologist would have a field day with mine. so many symbolic parts in my dreams. family, safety, love, care, grief, loss, trauma

I dreamt that I had a beard and gigantic boobs that I couldn't hide...

I dreamt I was all dressed up in a nice skirt and blouse with heels and headed into the Macy's in San Francisco, but it was to go to work, not to shop

It's strange because I've had this same dream before but have no idea what it stems from

I know a trans woman who works in women's at Macy's Seattle, she has impeccable fashion sense and has volunteered to act as a personal shopper for other trans women. Maybe that's going to be your forte'?

Bet you'd do well with that Virginia! That woman dropped in on a trans support group meeting several years ago at Seattle's Ingersoll Gender Center, I was impressed with her, she was a regular employee there at the Bon, (It was the Bon Marche back then and later became Macy's) She just wanted all the T girls to feel free to contact her for personal help with style and fitting.

omg, i dreamt that i was left with a little girl but i ended up adopting her as soon as she said she wanted to be my daughter. it was weird and it makes my wanting a child stronger than not wanting one.

It would be nice to be able to contact her to find out more info. about a possible position somewhere, I love helping others and would love to make a career out of it

It was some time back and I can't even remember her name, but you could do that on your own if you took the initiative to follow through. She was there in women's fashion selling to all women of every stripe, but being trans she decided to make it clear to the local trans community that she would be happy to help them out and spend extra time with them to help them with suitable styles for different body types and proper fit. Naturally by doing that it would be a service to the community and increase her sales figures each month. You could do that, your dream may have been meaningful pointing you in that direction. You never know until you try it!

I dreamed I went to a fancy dinner party at a big house in the suburbs, and then everybody else got on a spaceship and flew away. The last person to leave handed me an infant. I lifted my shirt up to feed it but I didn't have any milk. I went outside but it was just cookie-cutter residences to the horizon, and I was worried because I didn't know how many miles away a store would be and I didn't know if it was better to start walking or try to find a phone in the house.

I had a weird trans type dream. I dreamt that I was laying naked in bed, not in a sexual way, just sleeping naked because of the heat lol. And a woman came in and she started snuggling me, and sort of tentatively touching my body (again, not sexual). At one point she found a patch of hair somewhere and started laughing at it, haha. But then she sort of hesitantly tried to wrap her arms around me, but she was afraid to touch my chest because she knew how it made me feel about myself, and of course I felt horrible and weird about it. But then it sort of started to feel OK? Like as if I could trust her even though I was so unhappy with what was there and so dysphoric. So even though the dream was distressing, it was at the same time mildly comforting because I felt like someone accepted me, even though she brushed over these parts I hate so much, and I felt like she didn't think of me as any less of a man for it.

Then I dreamt that there were big mice running about and I was forced to step on them and crush their heads.

I dreamed that instead of typing $5.00 in the register, I typed $6.00 and had to press the cancel button.

Unless that mishap was somehow charged with emotion, you have an extraordinary memory for specifics.

LOL!     My dreams tend to be rather boring.
