Nightmares- Before transitioning

[MaxForever]

Just been having nightmares this last week for the whole week. I never had this many nightmares before.
I just wondered if it is normal before transitioning to have that many nightmares.

I had some nightmares when I first transitioned. They usually involved being exposed below the waist or coming untucked in public. I think nightmares are kind of normal before transition. It's a scary thing. You will be fine.
Big hugs.

Thanks Glad I am not alone in this. Being on the forums makes me feel a lot better to hear that others go through the same things. I keep going back and forth if this is what I really want but deep down I know it is what I want.
In my dreams I am in the dark sometime or lost. So I suppose that is how my subconscious feels.

Hi Max I used to have awful really lucid dreams that would leave me shaken and disturbed sometimes for a couple of days...I didn't always remember the details but some I do and I can still bring the images back into my mind that were that vivid. On a couple of occasions I have "jumped" out of bed in the middle of them waking myself up because I am so desperate to escape.

Mine have settled and I still have them but I do not remember them except on very rare occasions. I have to be very stressed for this to happen

I've had nightmares of being outed in public and having to prove my masculinity by pulling out my junk, only to have it not match my skintone.  And I'm 9 months on T now. 

Since my current packer actually doesn't match my skintone, maybe this is my subconscious wanting me to get one that is closer to my color.  Idunno.

  I wish my nightmares were that tame. Like Liz mine wake me by me yelling or being startled awake with my heart racing. The last one had me being stalked by someone intent on eliminating me. He hunted me like I hunted Moni on my trip. There was no stopping me, I was going to find her and did.

Still have nightmares of being outed or that I have to detransition for some reason. Also about my privates and them being exposed.

Timely topic.  I'm pre-transition. 

For the past week, I've had nightmares almost every night about being outed prematurely.  Like someone finding my female clothing, or noticing that I'm actually wearing women's underwear underneath my male facade.

I've had many dreams about being a woman, but this is really the first time I've had such clear and consistent dreams about people finding out that I'm trans before I'm ready to tell people.

Glad my topic is helping someone else too.
Well last night I didn't have a nightmare but the night before I had the heart racing thing that someone above posted about. I was dreaming about my heart racing and then I woke up and it was racing.
Hopefully it will get better. Hating the long wait until I see my therapist in october.

I was plagued by incredibly vivid nightmares, talking in my sleep and sleepwalking from the age of five (around the time I realized that I was not a boy but had to learn to function as one) until I started HRT at the age of fifty three.

Since starting HRT I have not had a single nightmare.
