Unless if the dream was about something i just experienced that day or week i was alwas female in my dreams.
I never really wanted to wake up because of that and on top of that started daydreaming at around 8 about a personal female "dream-avatar" i thought of.
At first she was just an idea, but over the years i created a full personality profile with specific tastes and dislikes and a very long background story with detailed descriptions of important events and steps in her life for her.
I sometimes changed her a bit, added new Stories and improved the old, but at the core she's is still the same person i imagined back then. I could probably fill a trilogy by now with her as the main character. °.^
She accompanied me in a lot of (nightly) dreams since then. Sometimes i was her, sometimes she was at the side of my female self, sometimes i was watching her as an external observer.
Now that i transition i have the feeling that i think and dream less about her. But i already swore to myself that i won't just forget her or give her up since i feel she's an important part of me.
I won't even talk a bit about her in front of close friends, it just feels to personal.
Don't misunderstand me: She's no character that lived an alternate happy life or something as a compensatory for my own. It's more like as if i'm obsessed with a character i created and really grew to love, since i put so much time and thought into her.

Hm... was that now on or off topic? xP
