DREAM GENDER

[Jessie_Heart]

I am just courious what gender everyone is in thier dreams. I am almost always female the few exceptions being some nightmares I have had

[nickie]

Both. Of course, this can explained by the fact that I lived as a man for nearly 51 years.

I am not doing this poll to judge anyone. I was just interested in how it turned out. if you or anyone ever sees me comming across with an attitude like I feel I am more worthy than anyone else please smack some sense into me. please trust me when I say that is not my intention at all I am just courious.

in my dreams i'm what i am irl, female.

[Mia and Marq]

Usually Marq and I switch back and forth over the course of the dream which is more how we deal with day to day life as well. Occasionally and rarely, we've both got our own bodies in the dream. In those instances though, we never leave each others side still.

We always dream together though, despite the fact that some of the dreams we have irritates the other for one reason or another. Its always fun though for us.

I guess I should have added the option of genderless, anyone who was excluded from this because I did not I apoligize it wasn't intentional it was true ignorance as I was truley unaware of the situation but if nothing else I am glad I started this poll because it has been informative and has helped me learn something!

[tinkerbell]

Always female.  I have never been "male" in my dreams, even prior to transition, I was female in almost all my dreams; other times I was not aware of any gender so I'm assuming that I had no gender.

[NickSister]

I am usually me as I am now. So I guess I am always my own gender.

As for my physical sex, not sure. Mostly just as I am (genetic male), occasionaly I will dream of myself with a womans body. Usually I don't notice what body I have, I'm just me.

[Kate]

I can't really pick one of those options anymore. I'm not really conscious of my sex in my dreams these days... I'm just Kate.

In the past, I've dreamt myself as a male, a feminized male, and also as a female, but that sometimes came with a "cool! I'm really female!" feeling.

Now I kinda got what I always wanted: to not be self-conscious of my sex. I'm just ME

(I say "sex" and not "gender" because I mean my physical traits, not my emotional/mental ones)

Mostly female, sometimes genderless.  One time I dreamed I had both a penis & a vagina.  I was horrified in my dream.

[Mia and Marq]

I used to have dreams like that too with the having both genitals. Disturbing really but the result of Mia and Marq trying to both be covered physically maybe. Luckily it was only a couple isolated incidents...

I am sure that no matter how hard we try not to let it out side attitudes and predudices influnce alot of our dreams so maybe some of the predjudices have some affect on this at times. and maybe alot of our fears about that being how people sees us plays into it. there is ignorance everywhere and even though we fight it with our conscience mind maybe some small part of it soaks into our subconscience and affects us. just a theory please feel free to dismiss it as I just haven't had enough coffee this morning!

I think people are quick to jump to conclusions on what it means to have one gender or another. In most cases you shouldn't even have a gender unless its relevant to the dream. Your subconcious mind just doesn't have to take that unnecessary step of making a gender obvious again unless its on your mind. Its actually abnormal to consistantly be aware of what gender you are over the course of many dreams. You are you and thats all that matters.

really? this is the type of information I was hopeing for just to know how unusaul and why it seperates it between my regular dreams and nightmares. if anyone has any theories please share them!

[Lisbeth]

It took most of ten years for my dreams to transition to my new gender.

[seldom]

Female since I could remember (age 4) when I was human or human like (Fairy).  I don't count the ones where I was something like a tree or flower in my dreams.  I really cannot explain it, as I was not fully conscious of my gender identity until I was 11.  I told no one.
