You know how sometimes, you can see yourself in your dreams?
I'm FtM, and my entire life, whenever I saw myself in my dreams, I was always a guy. I mean, even if I was a rabbit, I was always a male rabbit. Even before I realized I was transgender.
So what I want to know, is that when you guys see yourself in your dreams, what gender are/were you?
i always dream i'm a female reaper. for some reason in all my dreams i end up with supernatural abilities but ever since i could remember, i've always been a girl never in the third person though, always in first person
I'm not always me in my dreams. I play a character. Sometimes, I switch characters in the dream. So the gender "I" am really depends on the gender of the character.
When I am me in dreams, my gender mirrors my understanding of it in the waking world if I notice it at all. I mostly just notice that I am not human.
dreams are the bridge to your unconscious so whatever your unconscious thoughts are is what your dreams derive from. well thats what i believe lol

I'm a little skeptical of the kind of dream interpretation that comes from books, but I do firmly believe this. I'm gender fluid and have been dreaming of myself as either male or female for a very long time now.
During the years I repressed this, I often longed for the dream world because I felt there was something in there that I wasn't allowed in the waking world. I felt that I could be more "me" and that I was more real there than I was here, and I read about lucid dreaming, astral projection, and pretty much anything that would allow me to go from this body back to the ones I had in dreaming. I even had a few dreams that involved my dream self fighting to climb out of my sleeping body.

Usually if I see myself I'm just.. who I am currently. Usually. Sometimes, since childhood I dreamt I was a boy/man. Sometimes I can't see myself at all, like if I do the image is blurry and I can't actually make head from tail of what I look like.
My more vivid dreams are when I am dreaming that I am female. Otherwise my gender doesn't come up in any significant way. I am just me.
Irl my sex is female but I don't connect with any of the characteristics socially assigned to females. When I dream I am always what society would describe as male. Thanks for asking this. I've never ever thought about it but throughout my life I've always been "male" in dreams. Even way before I knew what sex and gender are. I'm interested to hear others' responses.
My dreams are all over the place. They seem to be about any and everything, and I am usually unaware of my body in them, from what I can remember. It's usually just my consciousness represented as me in dreams, rather than a physical form. When there is, sometimes it's been male, sometimes female. Sometimes I'm not me at all, but a character.
I rarely have pleasant dreams these days. Luckily, I quickly forget them after waking, but they still torment me at night. Weirdly, I've found that if I eat right before sleeping, it's almost a guarantee I will have nightmares, and not just the usual ones, but extremely horrific and disturbing ones. I don't know why that is.
I know everyone has dreams, but mine just must not be very powerful anymore. I can't remember the last time I had a dream which I remembered upon waking up. That's sort of depressing I guess...
