I've been having a few dreams during the past couple weeks where I am either fully transitioned or in the process of transitioning to male. I had a dream I was with my dad at a DMV to get my state license changed, and another dream, where my dad posted about how he has a new son (me) on facebook along with a new photo of me dressed like a guy. I always felt really happy during the dreams. Comfortable. Things were finally moving along as they should and nothing unpleasant happened.

However, my dreams have also been getting more improbable. Like when I dreamed a few nights ago about falling in love with my 1st ex boyfriend (then realizing what a terrible mistake I made). I don't even remain in contact with him and neither do any of my other friends who knew him. And again! I had a dream just last night about falling back in love with my 2nd ex (who is still my best friend, but neither of us wanna get back together). Very strange. There was a side plot to my dream where him and I were hanging out with our old group of friends from high school. I (for dream reasons, alone) was wearing some long electric blue skirt... Very strange.

Maybe because I've had a cold since last week, my brain is acting all weird?
I know that since I can't shake my cough still, my voice actually dropped! It's super hoarse but I have little complaint about it since I sound a little less womanly. I can't wait to see what TONIGHT'S mental imaginings come up with... o.o

You might see this as symbol for wanting certain feelings and situations and not the exact persons involved.

Sir Real

Dreams are mysterious things. But one thing for sure is that dreams can be, and often are, very improbable and often make little sense at all. You could say, weird dreams are normal  :D
Trans-related dreams are pretty common for trans-folk, naturally. I had a few months where I was constantly having packer/bathroom dreams. Some were nice and some were... less than ideal haha

One theory is that our brains process information and we see that process through dreams at times. Our brain isn't necessarily concerned about putting memories into places in an order that makes sense. Stripping down the dreams you've had, you dreamt about being trans, exes, high school friends, and a blue skirt. Not so bizarre when you look at the bare bones of it. Even the blue skirt - you're a trans person who has likely been pressured at some point to wear feminine clothing. That could be all it is.

Stress, physical (like a cold) or emotional, can impact our dreams. What we eat before bed can also have effects on our dreams. Lots of stuff can affect how we dream, really.
It's also not uncommon to start dreaming about things you haven't even thought of in a while. Maybe it's just our brain maintaining those memories? Dunno.

Hope this helps a bit!

I wouldn't go that far.

After all there are dreamdictionaries with symbols and meanings.

Its simply another language. But it can offer deep insight.
Of course not everything is meaningful.
But if something is repeated often or sticks out it might be an idea to have a look at it.

But from the language of pictures and symbols.

It must be contagious.  I've had two vivid trans dreams this week.

Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker

Well... tell us the details... (if you want to)

I don't remember them in great detail but I do remember they explicitly included me happily transitioning and being unconditionally accepted by all my family.

It's not too difficult to interpret that one and pinpoint my real life fears.
