just curious. if everyone has had some sort of dream involving them selves as their proper gender and how old were you when they started if you remember dreams. I started having dreams around 7th or 8th grade. The dreams were about losing my genitals. About 8th grade I had a dream about lying down next to a female classmate and noticed that we were the same in that neither of us had penises. My dreams over the years have evolved from having ambiguous genitals then slowly progressing over the years going through stages of developing female genitals . Now when I dream I'm fully female at times. Just wondering if any one has experience themselves developing into a female in their dreams or in different stages of being physically female.
I have as far back as I can remember always been female in my dreams. This should be totally impossible as dreams are subconscious events recorded in daily life. All of your stresses, happy events and tragedies. No one has been able to tell me why I dream like this. To me it says being female is so ingrained in me I simply don't think of myself any other way. I don't know though. Weird, huh? :)

yea , its very weird. Its coming from some where very deep. I don't know but because this is going on in me for so long , I was wondering if I had some sort of inter sexed condition or my genes are totally affected in some way. I've never been tested genetically , but it is very weird.
I was 23 years old when I had my first dream about my being a woman.
I was in bed with the girl I was dating at the time. We weren't doing anything, just getting up in the morning and I started getting dressed, reaching for my panties and a bra. The dream continued nightly for a few weeks and then off and on for a few years. Always just this small clip of a dream remembered.
I was horrified. I ran away, literally to another state. I don't believe the girl I was dating even knew why I left.

I don't know if this counts. I would awaken and not realize for a bit that my body was wrong. The realization, after puberty started, would have me in tears for many days on a row. I don't remember dreaming really, just this sense of wrongness and morning wood but something wrong when I reached to 'relieve' it.

maybe your unconscious slipping into consciousness
A lot in fact.
Some were I slowly become female, others were I start off. However I never look the same.
I also have a lot of day dreams...those count also right? :laugh:

yea , same thing I guess
Since I was a little kid. I often had dreams where I was a girl and was wearing girls' clothing. Sometimes I was genderless in dreams as well. When I was 12 or 13 I started having breasts in my dreams. Then there were the recurring ones where I could detach my penis.
I always hated waking up from the dreams where I was distinctly female, and then I'd really resent having to get out of bed.

OMG that is the same here! It causes me a ton of Dysphoric grief. I want to go back to sleep at that point! :o

I had those as well when I was 6 or so. They stopped after one night when it turned into a nightmare when my sisters stole it and I had to go pee but I couldn't.
Wow, the mind of a 6 year old.

Once, pre transition.
I tend to be who I am in my dreams. This means lately, I have been early in transition when I dream.
When I was a kid I would have dreams of losing my genitals.. when I got older I dream of being a girl with the rest of my female classmates and it just kinda progressed to clubbing, boyfriends, ext...
I remember having dreams like this mostly every night for most all my life (not counting day dreaming which is a given anyway).
More often or not I am just me and don't really feel or specifically notice my gender... till something invariably happens (like they do in dreams) which identifies myself to myself.
For example I might realise that I have left my bag somewhere and start to panic, or that I have got something icky on my clothes and I need to go home to change. It's always something different of course, but definitely not male situations I find myself in.
These moments seem to be the parts of the dreams I remember more so than others.
I believe that in our dreams we are ourselves, and that mirrors in dreams will reflect whatever we truly see.
Since I can remember my dreams I was either genderless or female. Anything sexual I dream I'm aways a woman with another woman. (Or if it's BDSM related I'm being topped by a woman.)
I can definitely related with this, as I remember my first one :) I was about 7-8 yrs old when it occurred. I was this maiden in the court of a castle with other girls from my third grade class. The light, aerial gown flowed down my sides; something I had never experienced in the real world. There was a boy from my class as the Prince; interesting to note that with any erotic dream with men in it now, I am always female. I never contemplated that dream too much, but it stuck with me through the years with how different it was.
Now? Ha, that is a different story. These past couple years I have been going through storms where dreams are filled with female self-imagery. In a lot of them, I am desperately trying to make myself more feminine; like the dream where I was on the dance floor of a college party in this cute white and black short dress pushing my male parts to look female (though the rest of my body was in the right state).
Sometimes I luck out, and find myself deeply resonating with the vision. In one, I gazed at myself naked in the mirror. I wasn't some supermodel or someone else; I was me, I was the female version of me. I could feel everything: my lightness with none of my male muscle, the wider hips, the hairless, my breasts, the way I tied my hair up in a bun, my soft skin, my higher voice (which I used in my dream), the emotion of feeling right. I woke up with slight tears and this lingering ethereal feeling. I wanted to carry my most comfortable form back with me.
Love reading everyone else's stories, so much I can relate to :)
I am not sure when exactly I started dreaming about being a different human shape. My earliest memories of doing so are from when I was about 8 or 9. Such dreams continue. Sometimes sexual, often not. My appearance varies: sometimes male, sometimes female, often both, usually human. When the dreams turn sexual, I mostly seem to end up as female, regardless of how I am at the start of the dream. In many dreams I am formless. That has been common since I was 4 and continues now, 4 decades later. Those dreams tend to be powerful.
Most genderless/non specific as far back as I remember. Else I dream being on off the genders,,and act that way.
Even in "wet" dreams or if I need to pee I act as the gender I dream I am.
Yes. Interesting that you should ask that ... I am seeing a lot of affirmative responses, and I must confess, yes ... As far back as I can remember I have had dreams of varying styles, all in this thread.
the best dream I ever had was a few months ago. I was working in an office in a high rise and I was just doing normal office work. I had this great black dress on cut to the knees and black heels on . The dress fit perfectly. My body was shaped perfectly . the hips were just right. I felt the best I ever did as a woman. I started to walk around the office doing my job and every one I approached gave me a thumbs up and said I looked great. I'm still shinning about that dream. That was before I started HRT so hopefully I'll have some more like that.
