In my Dreams...

[A]

I'm a guy. Yeah, when I dream, I totally have a male body, with the exception of dreams in which I have a body that is definitely not mine...

This is, like, my shortest topic ever, but I just wanted your opinion on this. It worries me.

I assume you mean the while sleeping kind of dreams. In my experience these dreams are more of a reflection of things you've been though than of who you are, what you want, etc. Living in an opposite body is certainly a traumatic experience, so it's not surprising to me that it is reflected in dreams. I'm always telling my therapist about terrible or simply very strange dreams that I have. I've had dreams where I'm me, where I'm not me, and where I'm some kind of outside observer like watching a movie, though it's probably more like the Star Trek holodeck.

What exactly is your worry about it? I'm no psychologist but I've spent plenty of time analyzing my own strange dream experiences.

I have transitioned in my dreams, about two years behind my transition.

[pebbles]

There's a 3 month time delay between my body changing and my body in my dreams changing.

I'm my dreams I'm generally as I am living in reality. a pre-op transsexual. :/

There of course might be exceptions where I am a certain way due to the dream begin strange.

I am almost always exactly in my dreams as I am in real life.  Except for when I know Kung Fu.  Then, I'm a lot faster and stronger in the dream.  Otherwise, I'm just the same.

A fair portion of my dreams/nightmares is still a playback of how my life used to be.

Thank you ; I'm not so worried now.

I am not so much aware of my gender while I'm dreaming, but I did have one where I saw the female me and freaked the heck out. I was all: "Wait a second!" I got her (my) attention and we embraced until the dream faded into something new, it felt so good.

I have only recently been seeing myself as a woman in my dreams, all while still unaware of my own gender. She's not some fantasized up ideal woman either, she's real looking and spooky beautiful. Sometimes I wake up startled and I have no idea why.

In my dreams, I'm a guy, except when I dream of my childhood, then I'm a little girl again. I nightmares I'm also a girl, a feminine one, the kind that dies in horror films.

[Janet_Girl]

it depends on what the dream.  Sometimes I am male (Yuck ) and sometimes I am me  .    There has been a few where I am a blend (androgynous).

Dreams are your subconscious working out something.

Most time Im just spectator, it is like watching a movie, so Im noone

[Miniar]

I'm rarely even "human" in my dreams, but when I am it's roughly "this" body, only a little shorter and correctly equipped.

I was also worried about this, thought it was strange.  Why do I identify as female but still see myself as male in my dreams.  I like the 3 month rule.  I am 2.5months FT and I would say about half my dreams I can remember I am female.  I can often remember the point in my dream that I realized my gender presentation.

It's something that changes over time...and sometimes still happens for me.

Most of the time I am a girl in my dreams nowadays but it wasnt always that way. And even if the dream is about the past sometimes it's my past self instead.

And sometimes I dont pay attn to my gender at all in a dream...its almost like I'm genderless in those cases...

[Northern Jane]

In nightmares I'm also a girl, a feminine one, the kind that dies in horror films.

ROFL! That's a HOOT PB!

My dreams (pre-transition) were just weird! Usually in my dreams I was female but other people (in the dream) couldn't see that. Sometimes that was frustrating, sometimes I didn't care, and other times I would have fun with the situation. Like I said, just weird!

[Medusa]

And what about your sexual fantasies, what gender you are in them? (this was one of question my psychologist when came there)

[erocse]

I am always a girl in my dreams. With the exception, if some one has made my feel bad (my family) then I have crappy dreams and I am a guy, UGH !!

In most of my dreams i'm just me, a pre op guy on T. Sometimes i'll have dream where I have a penis but they are always sex dreams.

I rarely dream these days, and i'm pretty much as i am currently, yet, my gender issue arent the biggest problem in my dreams...
