Transgender dreams

[roseyfox]

This is a thread that i wanted to make because i been having a lot of odd dreams lately directly involved with being trans. My very old masculine self, my current androgynous self and then a dream of me being fully transition. I would love it for other people to post there own dreams and what it made them feel like.

So my first dream that i wanted to talk about is one that been stuck in my head for a while. In the dream i was at my cousin house but it is not a place i ever seen him live at before. He was acting like a younger version of himself and i was younger much more masculine and pre-hrt it was cool and dark outside and we were sitting out side. I rember we heard some kind of noise coming from the street beside us. So we got up out of the camp chairs and it was very dark out no moon just black and bits of gray were you could make out shapes and lights in windows. As we approach his back yard fence it lead into a small path. As i opened the gate he whisper to me that they were out there.

In the dream i know what he meant but now i don't. Because i asked him that they are still around. Then i remember turning around and i was in a bathroom i believe all white mirror on the walls to my right. Then i remember something piercing into my side and there was pain spreading all over me. I remember a long black piece of metal that flew in the air back into a women hand around the corner. As i stood there shocked and displace I remember my clothes vanishing revealing my body and it was completely transitioned. Then there was a mist that enveloped the whole bathroom or what i assumed was one.

When i woke up i jolted and was feeling my side for were the knife was in the dream it all felt so real. really freaky and though me off. I can remember every detail what i looked like. what the other woman looked like what my cousin looked like.

I love dreams. As a creative person with a very strong imagination, my dreams can be pretty spectacular. If it were possible for me to transplant them onto a screen I would be filthy rich. While the majority of my dreams are probably generic with myself appearing exactly as I present myself in real life, it's fairly common for me to have a dream in which I am not myself. And every few weeks I'll have a blockbuster worthy dream that I'll usually try to write down quickly so I can add it to my dream log.

Naturally the dreams in which I am female are by far my favorite dreams, and these dreams have become more common. The only problem I have with these dreams is that they are not lucid. I may be a beautiful young woman in a dream but from the dream's perspective it is perfectly ordinary and I don't give it a second thought while dreaming. It's not until after I wake up that I can reflect and try to enjoy it.

I have far too many wacky dreams to go into detail in a forum post. My dreams cover just about every genre: action, romance, horror, sci-fi, fantasy...you name it and I've probably dreamt it. They do follow some patterns. Gravity is always in effect. I virtually always take on the role of the main character. One night I could be a femme fatale, the next I'm a sorceress with all kinds of magical powers. Sometimes I'm a child (thankfully still with an adult mind). I was an awkward goth girl once. And even in dreams in which I'm unfortunately not the female character, there is still usually a strong female character present in the story. I am also psychic, sorta, in every dreams. I can feel my brain creating the next part of the dream before it happens, so I usually know what to expect a couple of seconds in advance.

As amazing as my dreams have been there are also the occasional bad moments I wish I had not dreamt. "Bad guys" in my dreams have tried to kill me more times than I can count but it always turns out to be an impossible feat. I've seen some amazing visualizations but that also includes some vivid images of things I won't repeat. While rare, I've felt physical pain inside of a dream, including one time which it really felt like I was dying.

I've always thought about teaching myself lucid dreaming in order to have even more amazing dreams but so far I haven't pursued it.

I've basically always had dreams of me being female. Just the percentage that I remember varies. These days it's an overwhelming majority. In the past maybe 30%-50%

As for weird.... Dreams where I am an FTM trans!  Like WTF?

I love a good irony

From around seven years old until I started hormones, I was plagued by vivid nightmares and occasional sleepwalking.  For most of my adulthood, the non scary dreams always involved me trying to get somewhere and not making it there, or chasing something and being unable to catch it.

Once I started hormones, the bad dreams stopped and have not come back.  What dreams I have now are usually a gentle series of images that I can barely remember.

I only had two dreams I can specifically remember being trans* related. In most of my dreams, I just "am", while living through my dream in first person pov. But in these two I was actually watching myself for about half of the dream from another perspective, while part of the dream was a first person pov again.

The first dream I had before I knew I was trans (around middle school), and is pretty weird as I now identify as neutrois/agender and asexual. I subconsciously think this was somehow my brain processing how I felt about myself and my gender/sexuality. I was born as a female by the way.
I was in a house. The house was on a hill in field of long grass. I don't know what I was running from, I just remember I was angry and felt trapped, so I started to run through the grass towards the forest in the middle of the night. I was a girl, and dressed in pretty girly clothes. When I reached the forest, I started to kiss an unidentifiable boy. Somehow after a few minutes, I became the boy and was kissing the girl but she didn't look like me anymore. I then wandered deeper into the forest and the dream ended.
I thought maybe it hinted towards the fact of me "being a lesbian", but that didn't make much sense as I didn't want to date anyone either. I now kind of think it was my mind mentally getting used the idea of me being more masculine in comparison to how I was raised. Or you know, it could have been my mind just being weird.

The second dream was in the past year, and I already knew I was trans for a few years by then. It wasn't so much weird as anticipating and mentally accepting my future, I was doing a lot of research on top surgery around that time.
It was after top surgery and I was in my room just waking up, I wasn't completely unscarred, but was mostly healed. I just smiled, it was very calming. I woke up in real life calm and happy from that dream, but yeah that didn't last long after I actually got up and went about my day.

I don't really think dreams mean much besides the fact of me processing my emotions, stresses or hopes. I have high anxiety, and dream often. They are pretty interesting though

In most of my dreams I can never remember what body I have or what gender I "am" - mostly I'm just living it from my point of view, in this blurry grey state of being that being in a dream is like. I haven't had many dreams that were as explicitly related to being trans as some described here, but I remember two vague ones on the spot.

In one of them, I was lying with another guy, someone who I always admired for having a body I really want. In that dream we were discussing trans things and I remember my chest being flat, and the two of us looking very similar physically and I was delighted.

The second one was when I was with a girl, and it was a very short, brief dream, but in that one I was worried about having to tell the girl I'm actually a trans guy and how she would react.
