Dreaming about trans stuff

[James80]

Since I decided to transition, I've had a few vivid dreams about transgender issues/topics. I wanted to find out if other people have the same sort of experience. Plus, now that I'm on testosterone, I'm remembering my dreams less frequently.

The ones I remember:

- I was helping out at a car accident. I had no shirt on and was totally fine with it. (Cool)
- A guy misgendered me in the men's room and to punish me for being in there, he pissed on everything in the stall so I couldn't use it. (Awful)
- I lost my binder and had to wear a bra. (Bad)

I've had vague dreams where my chest was suddenly okay (masculine in aspect), but those are really fuzzy.

I've had biologically male anatomy in a lot of my dreams my whole life. That was actually one of the things that made me consider that I might be trans once I learned being trans was a thing.

I can't think of any nightmares I've had about specifically trans issues, though. The nightmares I remember are almost always PTSD flashbacks to a time before I came out. But I'm guessing I'm probably the outlier, given that I have PTSD.

These past few years I've been having a lot more very vivid and even explicit  dreams of me as a female. Lately they have shifted more towards me openly out as a trans-woman. (Somehow my therapist thinks it is because it's what I want to eventually be/do)

Actually remembering dreams now is something new. Maybe your observation about T vs E has something to do with it? In the past I knew I had dreams but never really remembered them aside from the flying ones. The ones now sure do grab me on a deep emotional level. Probably why I do remember them in full detail, as scary as they can be sometimes.

I had a few where I was caught somewhere and questioned about wearing a dress or a skirt, but they seemed totally random, and similar to dreams I had before being on E.

My therapist told me to write down my dreams as a way of trying to understand what my subconsciousness is telling me. Since then I've had two remarkable ones:

1 - I was having sex with a woman in first person view, and then I realized that the woman was just masturbating and I could feel her entire body and pleasure, you know? I was that actual woman (and she had such a pretty body).

2 - I was walking down the hall from someone's house and some guy got seduced by me and was trying to get me to bed - I was a woman all along the way - and I was flattered because he admired me as a woman but I was also uncomfortable because I had a husband, who, by the way, was waiting in the living room and turns out it was my actual boyfriend hahahah

These dreams have been so mysterious and yet such a relief.
