I don't often remember my dreams, but when I do they are very detailed. When I was younger, I was always a boy in my dreams. Later, by the time I was in middle school I found that although I was still male in my dreams, I would often be wearing women's clothes. Sometimes in the dreams, the clothes made me feel nervous and I didn't want to be seen, while other times it felt natural. I thought that this was odd since I had never crossdressed before. Since then, my form in my dreams is usually that of a biological female. Now, when I have these dreams I feel happier than I ever have before - even if the dream was more like a nightmare with sad and horrible things happening in it. Has anyone else had this kind of experience with their dreams? Do you crossdress in them? What is your physical sex in them?
I'm looking forward to hearing about your dreams! :)
I think I'm mostly male in my dreams, I don't really pay attention o.o Unless it's the type of dream where that thing would become apparent =P Then I'm always a boy
Definately female for a very long time. The ones i'm not tend to really bother me on a subconscious and then waking level, not very nice at all.
I think if something has possessed or obsessed you for so long you cant help but dream in that mode or thats how it feels for me.
Any dream analysts here btw?
Both. Sometimes a male form, sometimes a female form. A good percentage of my dreams deal with the past, thus I look like I did (and still do) - female.
Male, 99% of the time, rarely female.

God, I miss the old way of dreaming. When I was a kid, I was frequently a boy in my dreams. Now that almost never happens, even after I came out and started to accept myself as a guy.
I was hoping that at least in my dreams I could be male, but that hasn't happened. At least, it happens rarely.
I think it will take HRT and top surgery and a period of acclimation before I once again start dreaming about myself AS myself.
Well, it kinda depends. Of the dreams I remember (I remember a good amount), I'm usually a boy, but I notice it, like it is out of the ordinary. Sometimes I'm like I am now; with a girls body wanting to be male, and sometimes I switch between roles in dreams. And even other times I find odd cures to being transgendered, like this really cold water from some place makes breasts disappear for a short time (I know, weird, huh?).
It's kinda random, but I only have like 1 or 2 dreams a year where I am female without being trans.
ALWAYS male. Reason being if I REMEMBERED more than just 2 dreams from my entire life, I might have a better answer.
Well, I guess I COULD count my non-REM dreams. Usually, on the cusp of being almost-awake and just exiting REM sleep, I have (everyone once in a while) dreams where I meet my self from an alternate reality; I meet the "girl" me. Since it's a dream, the only way I can explain knowing what she is thinking is mental telepathy. :P Otherwise...male.
I never really see myself at all in my dreams. Its as if I'm really there looking through my own eyes. If I happen upon a reflection of myself its always distinctly female but I can define it visually as being me.
However, when I hear myself speak in my dreams, its always a female voice and I have no doubt whatsoever that it is me who is speaking.
It varies. If I'm seeing things from my own perspective, I'm usually not aware of gender, or else I am definitely male. Often, though, I'm seeing the scene through the eyes of various characters. I vividly remember a nightmare I had once in which I was simultaneously seeing things through the eyes of a killer, who was a man, and through the eyes of one of his victims, who was a little girl, while also being aware that I was really a psychic, who was a woman, picking up on something that had happened in the house long ago. - Yeah, I know, would have made a great episode of Medium. ;)
I am generally female in my dreams. If I am male it is usually a nightmare, not only just beginning male but the content of the dream is terrifying. I will generally wake up in a panic or covered in sweat.
Janet
I see myself in all my dreams as a woman....past and present. That only started about 4 months ago. My nightmares are usually about being lost, having my dress torn, or dirty. Or it's about being in public with no top on, and looking for one.
Nope.......only girl me dreams any more, thank God.

Hehehehe... it's Ranma 1/2.
I'm basically the same. Most the time, though, I'm male wanting to be a girl.
Usually, my dreams play out like movies--as in--I'm not in them.
Sometimes, I'm in the mind of the main character in the story, but I don't control it all that much. (It's a bit like I'm writing my dream as I would a story.)
When I am in my dreams, I'm usually paranoid--often about being found out as biologically female. So I guess that when I'm in my dreams, I'm me, except I pass.
Usually, I don't remember my dreams.
Pre HRT most of my dreams I would be male but with the gender issue there, and would occasionally be female. Since starting HRT it's the other way around. Most of the time I'm female now and a lot of my dreams are of being female and coming out to people from my past. Came out to my parents in one the other night. Lol. Guess that might be a hint to me that it's getting about that time.

I don't get it. :( :embarrassed:
I was actually thinking about bringing up a thread like this. I'm male in a lot of dreams. Though sometimes I'm female, then something funky happens like I grow a penis or someone points out that I'm not really female.
I have been mostly female in my dreams for just about all my life. Sometimes I start out as one and end up the other gender. I actually remember the first dream in which I was a female and that was around age 5-6. I used to love it and had the same dream many times and it is still vivid in my mind. I think it was my wish. Now it just makes me sad that it never happened. Hugs

I come as a male.even when i cross dress in dreams..This proves to me that i m a cross dress and not a transexual...
I've been male, female and androgynous/unknown in my dreams..
All the dreams i had of being specifically female were more like nightmares though.. one dream i had i was pregnant, i woke up and felt depressed for days after... another i had (warning this is really sick), i was paralyzed and muted, completely stripped down, being raped by a woman with a dildo, in the lady parts .. sadly the only sexual dream involving "myself".. wtf...??
then ive had dreams where i was male, going places, peeing while standing, many jerking off.. and they felt so real..
the rest of my dreams i remember are almost always bizarre, and the sky is always black..
I'm neither. My dreams usually involve me as a disembodied observer flitting from one character to the next, inhabiting each for a little while. Even when I do take part in my dreams, there's no sense of a body there. I'm interacting with others in the dream, but I can never actually see any part of my body nor even guess what sex it is. Roles switch though: Mostly I'll inhabit a female role, sometimes a male one, but it's really more like I'm an actor or a possessing spirit subject to the events and narrative in my dream.

It's an anime where a male character becomes female when splashed with cold water.
Odd thing to have an anime about... I might have to watch that! (I love anime stuff, but I don't have cable to watch, so I try to find specific names of good shows to watch online)
even though im bio female, i nearly always dreamt that i was male ever since i can remember. Even daydream that i'm male. Whenever i dream that i'm female i feel extremely uncomfortable, like i'm stuck.
A girl in a dress, with something in the middle of my tighs... hihihihi :laugh:
There's a small but recurring percentage where I have both sets of sex organs, or I'm female above the waist but endowed like a guy below. I'm male in about half my dreams. Really sucks to wake up... *sigh*
Quote from: Cindi Jones on October 30, 2007, 12:50:58 AM
When it comes to dreams, I've experienced the full spectrum in my lifetime. I have transitioned and in my dreams now, I am always female. And for several years now, while in public in my dreams, I've managed to keep all my clothes on.
Cindi
What she said!
tink :icon_chick:
I've had some truly odd dreams. In some, I am a woman (these I prefer, obviously), and in others, I am a male. I'd say the split is 90/10 female.
One of the most recent dreams involved me talking with a good looking man in some sort of temple. It looked like a Greek temple, like the Parthenon. He was tall, blond curly hair, and a mustache.
I was a woman, long black hair, and I was wearing sandals and a toga style robe. I had a gold necklace around my throat and a baby, about 8 months or so, in my arms.
The baby was mine, though I don't think the man was the father, though I knew I was the mother.
I think I cursed out loud when I woke up from that one. I wanted to see more.
Regards,
Angela
that's interesting, Angela Macleod.. sometimes i wonder if we have past lives, and dreams or random thoughts, nostalgia etc are helping us remember them...
this is kinda off topic but sort of related: whenever i wake up, i feel strange, like im OK with myself and my body. even if i've had a horrible nightmare about being female.. then i start to remember my problems, dysphoria etc... Makes me wonder if these feelings are even real, that maybe my brain is messing with me...
It's interesting ... For the first time in my life, last night, I had a dream in which I was aware of being trans. I was trying to become intimate with someone, and remembered belatedly that I didn't actually have the right equipment. Strangely enough, the guy I was with didn't seem to notice, but I was slightly perturbed by it. Huhn. Must be spending too much time at Susan's. ;)

Personally, I think my dream was prophetic, that I was seeing the future. I've had similar dreams, and they usually have come true. Not saying I'm psychic or something, just that I've noticed a pattern with my dreams becoming real.
I got the same feeling from this one.
Certainly not all my dreams are this way. Some are definitely stress dreams or normal dreams. But it's always the ones where I appear to be in a temple, dressed in a toga or similar clothes that have that feeling of the future.
I don't know. Maybe I'm just nuts.
Angela
P.S.-Call me Angela. The full name sounds so formal. ;)
In my nightmares I am a mid-transition transsexual who is lost in transition because of some bad choices.
girl of course isin't everybody anyway, and 'sides last night i had some good dreams about finding the perfect outfit's anyway let's hope i can find them .
I had a night where everyone in my dreams was replaced by Chimpanzees.
I have that same dream about work, and it always ends with someone saying "OK, we're going with the Chimps from now on."
I usually don't pay attention. When I do, I'm me, bio-fem, FtM, and sometimes I grow a penis. o-0
One time I had a dream that I was about to go out and I forgot to bind, and I couldn't find my binder and by the time I found it, everyone had left without me already. :-\
I usually don't have a sex in most of my dreams, I'm just there. For the most part though, when there is a set sex, I'm almost always female.
In one dream I was fairly masculine, and this was noted because everyone in this dream was in their underwear. And while the girls had on panties and bra's, and guys had on boxers, I was in my favorite pair of boxer briefs and a little bit of peach fuzz on my jaw, I also had nothing on top; no boobs, no binder, no nipples either, just flat skin. Unfortunatly there wasn't anything below the belt either :-\
Most of the time though I don't have any characteristics that push me to one side or the other, I'm just me.
I have always been male in my dreams, sometimes female. I have never seen what I look like.
I just know.
The dreams I've had where I've been 100% female have been exceedingly rare; perhaps a couple of dreams in total.
It's far more common that I'm a trans woman in my dreams - in various stages of convincing appearance and surgery depending on the dream.
Considering I haven't been full time for very long (15 months) I still have many male dreams - and quite often dreams where I've been forced into the male role, despite knowing that I'm a trans woman (i.e. dreams where my hair has been cut off and I've been forced into military service as a male).
The More I think of crossdressing and turning in to a female the more dreams I have about being a female.
In my best dreams im a girl!
I can be any age ethnicity etc.
Sometimes Im just a girl, or something happens in the dream where I swap with one or crossdress.
But those only happen a few times a year :'(
Most of my dreams have been kind of genderless. Never wondered if I were male or female, I was just me.Though there have been a couple of dreams were I find myself making out with someone, and thats when I realize within the dream, that I have a biogirls body.
I used to constantly have dreams where I would look in the mirror and was in drag but knew that underneath was a male body and would be really sad about it, or dreams of being discovered or found out. Otherwise I was genderless. Lately I've started to have a few dreams where I'm female, and it was exhilerating. I don't remember most dreams anyways, maybe once or twice a month and it's 5 seconds worth.
In the beginning my dreams were pretty much all male, with a few sprinkles of female every few years or so. On the occasion that it would be a female, it would always be 100% female, as I didn't know back then that there was a possibility of transitioning or about TS or anything.
Once I started transitioning, my dreams slowly started becoming the same. However, I have also noticed that I haven't really had a dream of me as 100% male in a long time. It's either of me knowing I'm TS and somewhere within the transition stage (always full-time though, but various levels of FFS/SRS), or I'm 100% female. I expect that since they've followed the same path as my life has, that once I am past the transition phase of my journey that it will shift to mostly 100% female with the sprinkles of the transition phase, and very rarely would I ever be 100% male again in my dreams.
My dreams have been mixed and at times there seemed to be no definite distinction. In yet other dreams, I simply wasn't aware of my gender. In my waking life I'm returning to my feminine self and find myself as female in more of my dreams.
I don't always dream myself a sex. It may be that I am one, but in many of my dreams it just isn't something noticable. When I do dream myself a sex, I could be male, female, or neither. I had one dream where I had no penis, no breasts, in-between hips, and generally no major sexual traits at all... I was taking a shower too. It was an oddly pleasing dream. It was quite sensual, though not erotic in any way.
In my early teens my long hair was a huge part of my identity, and I would constantly have dreams of ppl wanting to cut it. I would also have dreams of that thing down there falling off, or would like go into a room and there it would be, laying on the floor lol, and I'd think wow I didn't even miss it. I'd have alot of dreams where I would see a girl, kind of like a fuzzy soap opera dream sequence, and she was in the distance, smiling at me. Later in life I realized it was me that I was seeing, because I look more and more like her everyday.
when i dream some times i am female and i dream about my toes which are painted red during the winter ,so i always have to wear socks so my family wont see them.
When I dream, I'm male, but other people in the dream refer to me as female.
:eusa_wall:
The first couple of dreams that I do remember, was when I little, which wasn't too long ago, I was male. But i my recent dreams, I'm female.^-^
I think it's because I started my transition. Idk. And also, when other people tell me about their dreams that I have appeared in, I'm a female in thier dreams as well =o. Pretty interesting. Oh and when I do have dreams about my childhood, I'm usually male. It can be really confusing at times.
.___.
Edited out age clues-Emme
In every dream I have had, I am 1000% female, all woman. there hasnt been 1 night go by with out me being a female in my freams.

gender/sex has never come into my dreams
In my dreams, I'm me.
I guess before transition, if I dreamt my gender, it would usually be male, but I remember some where I was female (and then resented waking up.)
After transition, that situation is reversed -- mostly, if I'm a gender, I'm female. When I dream I'm male (rarely, now,) I usually find it distressing and want to wake up.
Recently, about 2 weeks ago, I had a dream where at one point I was spotted by four guys about 200 yards away from me who then chased me down to rape me. All I had to do to escape them was run 15 yards back to a house. But after two steps in the direction of safety, my dream-body shifted into dream-molasses-mode, and they easily overtook me and -- I woke up distressed from the nightmare.
=K
In my dreams my sex is inconsistent, and largely depends on the circumstances. Actually My entire identity is pretty fluid when I dream, and sometimes I am dreaming that I am someone else entirely, with a different past, present, and future. I once dreamed that I was a very young, small blond girl picking up dead rats from an abandoned sewer, so that my adopted family could sell them for supplies. In real life, I am tall with dark, brown, curly hair, male-bodied, and I have had a somewhat comfortable life, financially, with no need to scavenge for rats. I have also dreamed that I was a female commander of some rebel military contending with aliens from another dimension. so really it''s just kinda weird all around.
I've almost always been a girl in my dreams no matter if it was a sexual dream or not. I can only remember a couple instances that I was not.
I'm not really sure what sex I am in my dreams. In most of them, I am me. Like I see in 1st person, and not over the shoulder, or like in a movie.
I'm usually me as well. It's not me that counts; but it's the setting.
Whenever I dream i'm hanging out with my female friends, in the way i'm one of them, im really happy.
Just like real life, I dont like to be associated male in my dreams. Like, i told me mum she could call me her kid, but not her son. That kind of things.
I don't really dream very often and even then i don't usually rememeber it for very long, but a few days ago i had a dream in which i was female and wearing a long dark red/burgady dress, tis a shame i can't remember any more. :-\
do herb before bed, no more dreams.
I rarely remember my dreams, but most of the time there is nothing that would peg me as physically male or female, I'm just myself (so I guess mostly female :(). Sometimes, though I do have dreams in which I am definitely male, but still a trans-male, with scars from top surgery, etc. I've had only one dream (that I remember) in which I was biologically male.

I'm the opposite. I'm usually a biomale in my dreams. I've only had a couple of dreams where I was trans.
80/20 Female. but thats our secret.... sshhhhhh
In my dream, I am just me and gender is not identified. Once I had a breast wet dream.
i'm in HRT and have had several breast orgams w/ a partner.
My penis enters the dream just before the end and I don't have geinital orgasm.

Usually I start off as male and then transform into female.. then I wake up into the mundane world.. As a teenager that was such a pain.. Kind of like those dreams where you get a few million dollars, then wake up to the alarm clock so you can go to work ;p I've had a few dreams where I start off female, but it is mostly as I mentioned before. I have fairly weird dreams as I often exchange my identity and perspective between different characters of my dream.
Until a few days ago, I'd always been male in my dreams. Then, the other day I dreamt I was MtF.
Once I had a dream where I was biologically male. Unfortunately it was a sex dream..
Usually I'm male. Sometimes I'm sexless.
And the good thing is, in my dreams nobody cares what I am. ;D
depends on the dream. i don't find it as significant anymore... nor do i get really excited if i were to be female in the dream as if it's a tally score to be one step closer ;)
i do, however, find the "dream world" more interesting because i somehow kept revisiting it.
I'm just me in my dreams...
Interestingly enough, I am just *me* in my dreams.
Though I have had a couple that were distinctly me as female.
They are both nightmares of the first order.
In one (which has been recurring a couple of times), I feel my penis pop out. I wake up screaming.
Another one I had just recently, I had a "deflation" on one of my implants and I was trying to get in contact with the doctor to find out how soon I could be seen so that we could schedule a repair... I didn't wake up screaming from that one, but I hated the idea of having a "blow-out". :D :D :D
-Sandy
I see myself as female in my dreams
I don't usually dream in enough detail to know, except for a few specific dreams which have me in a "certain position" shall we say ;)
Actually, there have been such dreams that put me in either role but I found that the ones where I'm female are the ones I wake up and instantly wish I could get back into the dream :P
Amy :-*
A man who has long flowing hair and the body and facial features of a really sexy feminine and athletic woman [boobs and all] who can kick anyone's ass any day of the week, but is respected like a really dominant man. So yeah, I think I basically just described that sort of transgender with the evil and bad porn reputation that makes transsexuals quiver in fear of having a bad name or something. Dare I even say the word.
I guess I am saying I am predominately male but would like to grasp the beauty and gentleness of that female inside myself for my own self advancement, even to the point of appearing female. So, yeah.
