Dreams

[rachel89]

I have had a lot of really, really freaky dreams bout transitioning, but this one takes the cake for vividness. I was still early transition wearing a salmon-colored and turquoise dress and at some social event at some apartment complex I previously lived at. Anyways long story short, someone, an older person, told me "I know your not a homosexual man, I can tell." "You are a transsexual, I know, I've seen it before." The man could have been a shrink or something or just a random person. Anyways the dream was creepy vivid, not a nightmare, just creepy in the degree of its vividness.

I believe dreams that are vivid really are our subconscious telling us something. How you interpret it is a big thing too and from what you put I think congratulations are in order I think you found your soul if that makes sense.

The vividness of the dream made it one of the most memorable dreams of my life. I used to be extremely dismissive of the idea that dreams have any meaning at all.

From just about the day I started HRT, I have had the most vivid dreams of my life. And not the nightmares that use to haunt me.

E kicks up the dreaming? At this pointIi may as well experiment with lysergic acid diethylamide or dimethyl tryptamine. This is kind of interesting, and going more into religion, I've noticed a lot more women at my shul take dreams more seriously than most men do.

I know you are joking but please don't experiment with drugs! I have a friend who lost his brain a long time ago on LSD.

Getting high on life is a lot more fun!

If you want to explore your dreams you can do it naturally.

Don't eat heavy a few hours before going to sleep.
Maybe a light cereal snack half an hour before sleeping.

You could try no electrical appliances within 2m around the bed... some people are electrosensitive.

No disturbing pics half an hour or an hour before going to sleep... from tv, games etc...

Maybe reading a book or having a cup of tea, coming down slowly...

Before you fall asleep, you might think about what you want to dream about.

Dream interpretation is individual, its what it means to you.
One interpretation could be the persons being part of you.
The male person saying you're trans might be a rational part of you having it accepted.

Concerning drugs in general, there is no need to.
You can have a nice cup of tea and try different meditation techniques, or imagination techniques.
It works as well, getting access to parts of you, or a place where you can think about things.

I'm not on HRT yet (please let it be very soon), but I'm dreaming like I am. It should be interesting to see what happens when I add E.

So for the past week of HRT, I was like, "meh, not dreaming different, but it's only been a week, so whatevs"

Last night though, holy crap.  I had some weird dream about my old Tae Kwon Do instructor's mother's funeral where I was asked to speak about her life.  I probably was talking in my sleep in that one because it took a while for the words to start actually coming out of my mouth, lol.  And there was some other dream about Kuchiki Rukia (from the anime Bleach), and also something about having to kill these cats that were guarding stockpiles of old/used computer parts so we could remanufacture computer hard drives from their raw materials.  Robotics and covert missions were involved.  I don't remember why were building these drives, but there was something devious/maniacal about it, lol.

Freaky!

Ever since I started HRT, I've had TONS of dreams. Far more than usual. Its almost every day now. Last night's was interesting.

Keep in mind I identify as a lesbian. The area (possibly the world, not sure) I'm in, was being transformed by lesbians. Men were vanishing/leaving (not sure). It was like 90% lesbians. All of the stores were changing their names to say something about lesbians including Lesbians R' Us. It only sold jeans and flannel shirts (I've been told by lesbians on youtube this outfit combination is a lesbian thing). This probably happened as a result of me remembering that 15 years ago I actually dated a lesbian once (as a straight guy). I have no idea how I pulled that off, but we were friends at work. We both worked at KFC at the time.

I've also had MANY dreams where some girl (usually no one I know) takes me out for a romantic evening. These dreams are my favorites. I wish they would occur more often. Its not like I need to be aware of the fact that my dating life has been dead for well over 10 years. I'm perfectly aware of that.

One really bizarre and strange one was that my hair stylist was doing my makeup and we kept getting chased by zombies. No matter where we went there were clean makeup brushes everywhere. Also my Volt was always fully charged (because who wants to flee zombies using gas when electric is available). Take away the zombies and you actually get the truth. She helped me with my makeup that day and afterword, but before we did my nails, she had to clean off all the brushes she used. I have no idea where the zombies came from. I don't watch zombies shows or movies. The closest I can think of is game of thrones, but it definitely wasn't them.
