What gender are you in your dreams?

[thestory]

I have wondered about this and if it is the same for others.
I am an FTM and have always been male in my dreams since as long as I could remember. Long before I recognized myself as male.
How do you perceive yourselves in your sleep and does it correlate with your identity?

[Osiris]

OK so my dreams have changed a bit as time has gone on. A lot of times I'm male, sometimes I'm female and sometimes gender doesn't enter into it at all. But lately I've had more transition dreams where things happen like a penis grows, or I'm a guy but I have breasts. I think as my body gets closer to what I want I have less dreams about me being a genetic guy and more dreams about the body I have now... if that makes any sense.

I choose other, because, in my dreams I am sometimes male, but I am usually trans male.. still in a female body, but not female of course. The other night I had a dream where I had a fully functioning penis, but I also still had a vagina.

I'm often clothed in my dreams & can't see my genitals.  But going by my mind, hair, boobs, & body contour in my dreams, I'm pretty certain I'm female.

[Wolf Man]

I ticked other.

Gender I think hasn't really had such a dominating role in my dreams. I'm always just me. Though I can recall some sexual dreams where I am female. Ick.  But these occured before I came to know that I was trans.

I ticked other.

Gender I think hasn't really had such a dominating role in my dreams. I'm always just me. Though I can recall some sexual dreams where I am female male.

Edit: Oh yeah, plus some sex-change type dreams where I'm on a table with a surgeon of some sort.

When I'm aware of my gender, I'm female but not dominant.

That's why I ticked other.

Addition. Having thought about it, I may have had dreams where I'm male. But I don't recall ever being dominant.

I don't usually remember many dreams, unless they wake me up.

I tend to swap around a bit - the key is that I am me in my dreams and gender is not really a part of 'em for the most part.

[Janet_Girl]

For the most part I am female.  Sometimes I am post-op, which makes me happy.  Sometimes I am still pre-op and having to do something male related, but still female.  Those are nightmares.

[Stella Blue]

I have many dreams when I am female and some dreams where I am male. I also have weird dreams where I have a male appearance but I know I am supposed to be female and in those dreams people treat me as if I am a female but for some reason my appearance remains male and it is frustrating in the dream.

I'm not often aware of any gender in my dreams and most of them have nothing to do with gender or sex

Some of them are sexually explicit and sometimes I'm a boy, but most often I'm a girl....Other times I'm both

But mostly my dreams are just weird and I'm 20-30 years younger than I am

[Ryuu]

I don't ever really have a gender in my dreams.

Same as Aaron really but I have had dreams were I'm very female and others where I'm male but usually androgynous in some indeterminable way.
Like last nights dream which was highly disturbing. I was in a school cafe and I sat down at a table near a bunch of girls and a minute or so later one of them came and put a plate with two meat balls on it on my table, I got up in disgust and just walked away. Obviously making fun of who I am. Maybe it stems back to a recent time I was at a shop and some girl was awkward with me which kinda bothered me as I've been passing well recently. *shrugs* But yeah mostly androgynous or female.

[Adio]

Strangely (or at least to me), in most of my dreams I'm female.  Like, extremely female.  Female bodied, female minded.  I'm usually straight as well.  I should note that the name I get called isn't mine (birth name) nine times out of ten.  It's like I'm a completely different person.

There are some times where I'm just a guy or a transguy, but it doesn't happen as often.  In those dreams I feel more like myself.

I have gotten more interesting answers out of this than I expected.

When I dream I have a guys body I am a new person ( but somehow still me. I just look different) every night. I am just about always male as I mentioned before. I have had experiences as female though, but its rare. When I dream that I am female I am always in my own body as it is now, and I am dreaming up some stressful situation. This only seems to happen when I go to bed worried. I wonder if stress effects anyone else like that when they hit the pillow.

[lisaolsson]

I am always female in my dreams. Sometimes post-op, sometimes pre-op and sometimes born female.

This is very confusing when I have my weekly happy dreams about being pregnant, and I am pre-op!

[pamshaw]

I now dream mostly as  woman and I am dissapointed when I wake op and find natures mistake.

I'd have to say most of my dreams are first person, so all I see is my hands arms at most.

There are times there that I get a glimpse of myself in a reflection and I'll "see" what I wish for, but I can't honestly say that what I'm seeing is what I am in my dreams.

There are other times though that I can clearly tell that I am female in my dream or male. Most of the times though, it's just death and destruction / fantasy and depending on my mood that night it could mean lots of blood (in my dream) and waking up in a gasp / flight or fight mindset.

<-- should see someone about that =/

Even when I dream that I am male bodied, it is still in the context of being in an unnatural gender condition. I don't ever dream that I have a male identity. Those male role dreams are nightmares that I do have once in a while.

I've always been female in my dreams.
