Wow what a strange dream! Can anyone care to tell me what it means?

  Ok i had to wake up at 5:00 In the morning right away so I would remember this dream and share it with you all. I think something important is going on and I would like some opinions.

The dream starts out (as much as i can remember) of me being in a room that resembled a shower or a gym or some other type of bathhouse or something like it. No water was running anywhere but there were mostly men in there and some women. My focus was on two men making love to one another, and I did not want to see it so I turned around started walking another direction. I think I was about to leave the place or at least leave the area, when I ran into 2 more men who I thought were gay, they started admiring me and talking with me. They looked like the average guy, and yet kinda like me, not being masculine or feminine. After some time they started getting closer to me. I then raised my voice and said "no no I'm not gay".   

As soon as I said this the 2 "guys" as it were leaned in even closer and said "but we are mtf (male to female) and we are in transition". And then after I heard them say it EVERYTHING about them changed. They all of the sudden looked and talked like women, had a different smile, a different demeanor and different clothes! They then got even closer to me and for some reason I said "oh heh, im mtf too" then they said to me "oh you are"? "we thought you were a heterosexual guy" I then said "yeah well i still have a bit of a beard" (heh which is funny cause i don't have a beard in real life) Mind you I don't even know these ladies in real life at all, never met them and never saw them. And yet as soon as we both revealed to each other who we were it was as if we had been the bestest of friends for years and years!  In the waking world I don't even know how to identify myself and need counseling, but something is obviously there.


So I think I understand what happen in this dream. Right now it seems to me that these were layers of fears and misconceptions and concerns and as soon as I let them go, I began to see people as they were. Also the people in the dream began to see me in a new way too. They seemed to all have their own fears or misconceptions of me as well. Did I interpret my own dream right? Or do you all see something else there?

I think dreams can be VERY telling, especially if something has been weighing on your soul! I'm not sure that anyone can tell you what your dream was truly about or that it evens matters.  What does matter is the impact that it has made.  The feeling and thoughts that the dream provoked are as real as any thoughts or feelings from actual events in your life and can be even more impactful!  I had a dream about 4 months ago that I was a female version of myself. I had never known such a peace!  Then, I started to turn male and I was devastated.  Since then, it is like a switch had been flipped.  I know now for sure that I am transsexual and thought about it everyday since.  Long story short, the only one who can tell you what your dreams mean is you!  Search your heart for the answers!

Well, you know, in the past I may have had about 10-20 dreams where I was female in my dream, sometimes not even resembling myself at all, almost as if I was remembering a past life. Usually I dream I am male. But since I have been talking about it again and reading and discovering I have begun to dream as female. 2 Nights ago I had a dream I was a woman kissing another woman and we kissed a really long time.

Yeah for one moment in time I was happy about myself, and now im awake and its all mixed up again, its like when i have dreams about flying, i wake up and its like "oh no, its over already"?! "But I was really enjoying that"!!

I think you are just working through some anxiety related to this thread. The end of the dream does appear to be a reconciliation of sorts within yourself so that seems good and healthy, FWIW.
