I have dreams that I can remember pretty regularly. While I've known that I wanted to be a girl since as kid, my dreams pre-transition was almost (98%) realized as a male, I've had a few occasions where I was female in my dreams, I cherished those dreams very much that I would literally cry when I woke up, realizing I'm in a male body again... During transition, my gender perception of myself was quite murky, I'd say mostly when I'm aware of my sex inside my dream, I'd be trans female but I had nightmares that I'd be outed and outcasted by people I know for being trans. After transition it's mostly female (90%) and I wouldn't remember being trans, 5% as a male when I have nightmares about the bullying I had in middle/high school, 5% are those nightmares of being outed again , where I'm fully aware I'm trans.

For the most part my entire life I've had dreams where I'm male.  Only a few I was female, and like you I never wanted to wake up.  Now I've been having pretty regular dreams of my current female self in my dreams, and some are being nervous of people knowing or judging of my transition.  Like the most awkward and current dream, I woke up in the back of my dads crane in the sleeper cab, I was in panties and a cami that came down to mid butt.  I was still sleepy in dream and Laid over on my tummy on the passenger seat.  My dad started to rub my back up under the back of my cami and along my side and hip.  I was nervous and confused as I was wanting him to see me except me as his daughter and I felt like he was trying in that dream when doing that, but at the same time it was creepy because I thought he was turned on by me.  So..ya I was a girl in my dream, but sometimes there are consequences of being that in your dream, as in your more vulnerable.  I use to fight bad guys and monsters in dreams lol, now I'm living as the "vulnerable" girl in my dreams.

ive been female in most of the dreams that i can remember.  starting from around 12 or so.  never really thaught much of it at the time, just enjoyed being able to dream about being whoever i wanted.  i became quite proficient with being able to have lucid dreams, and eventually started making myself female in my dreams.  now though, they are all being female without needing to make myself one.

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.  :laugh:

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

I've had many dreams. I have had lots of "male" dreams and some "female" dreams. I have even had a dream having sex from a female POV. I've also had the SRS dream where I was about to have SRS but asked the surgeon if I could get up one last time to pee standing up!

I didn't even come out to myself until around May 2014, but about 4 years ago I started dreaming about dating a girl named Ashley that was basically the female version of me. Somehow we got the ability to change me from male to female instantly for a day. The idea was that it would replace my Y chromosome with an X chromosome and retroactively remake my body. At the end of that day(I woke up before this ever happened) the chromosomes would switch back and again retroactively remake my body.

Then the dreams started becoming more and more frequent. The girl for a day changed and became at will. When these dreams happened I would switch into female mode almost 100% of the time. Eventually the dreams changed again to I became fully cis-female 100% of the time and would never switch back. It wasn't long after that, that I came out to myself. At first I refused to use the name Ashley because it was too important to me and I thought that Ashley was the name of my future girlfriend. One day it occurred to me that Ashley was so like me that it was possible that she was me. It was at that instant, that the dreams ceased. I haven't had any girlfriend fantasy dreams since, but I'm always a girl either cis-female or post-op. I'm never pre-op in my dreams.

I've had a what would it be like to have straight sex dream a couple of times, but its in the dark so that I don't have to look at the guy. In reality I could never go through with it. I find men too gross.

is this open to ftm too?

in all of my dreams i wasn't either gender, but just another person; kind of like a first person video game. there was one dream, however, where i woke up to go to the bathroom and suddenly had a penis. i remember waking up feeling pretty upset that i had to sit down. i was only 9, give or take, but nonetheless, i was upset. now that i'm on t i'm always male in dreams. never really felt like i was a girl, anyway, so i assume that's why my dreams were in "first person."

The weird thing about me is that as a man I find men gross. But as a woman I could see myself with one. I could never have gay sex with a man.


Incidentally I haven't really had a good dream in a few months, at least one that I remember.

I have not yet started HRT or transition, but as a 36 year old MTF, I have never had a dream that I remember where I was male. I probably have at some point, but even in my early teenage years I remember I was always a girl and I have very vivid dreams everynight. How I denied this for so long boggles my mind. :) lol

I have not started HRT yet but all the dreams I can remember I am female for about 90% of them and neither gender for about the other 5%.  Which makes waking up terrible going form everything is right to being trapped in the wrong again.

For most of my dreams prior to transitioning I was genderless for the most part. If there was a sexual element in the dream I was always female. Post transition I am as I am today (a transgender woman). I've had a one or two nightmares where I woke up de-transitioned in the dream and I woke up for real screaming one of those times. My sex dreams I am all female. It will be interesting to see what happens after SRS.

Surprised to see a wide range of experience for everyone, feeling jealous that some of you can experience being female in dreams prior to transitioning regularly  :D

Last night I had a dream where I was passable and "knew" that I was and it felt so good. Most of my nightmares are about my teeth falling out...

Dreamed male pre transition. Dream transitioning or transitioned now that I am on HRT. Weird.

I've been female in a few dreams, but my gender isn't super prevalent in dreamland... A few weeks back I had a most amazing dream where I was more or less in my current stage of transition and this lovely man was just comforting me and holding me.. It felt like a true love. Lol! I was having a dysphoric episode while he was doing that though so that kinda ruined it a bit.

Prior to coming out to myself, I was always male in my dreams.  After coming out, from that night forward, I've been female in all of my dreams as if a switch inside me was flipped.  Interestingly, I've never been trans in my dreams nor had any dreams related to transitioning.

I used to grind my teeth during my sleep, especially during the years I was in an abusive relationship.  I absolutely hate dental dreams, and don't want to talk about the since they still make me shudder.  Because of the grinding, I started to wear a low profile mouth guard on my lower molars up to the first bicuspid, and haven't had those nightmares in years, thankfully.

I distinctly remember the first dream I had where I was female.  I was 12ish when I had it, and the dream was somewhat mundane yet profound.  I've had a few other dreams that stuck out to me, but for the most part I dreamt as neuter prior to HRT.  I started HRT almost two years ago, and have dreamt as pre/post op trans and occasionally just female.

I learned to do lucid dreaming as a form of meditation about a decade ago, originally to keep dreams from triggering PTSD flashes.  Since then, my lucid dreams are mostly about me freaking out about disclosing to a particular person, good and bad dreams about an upcoming surgery, and sexual frustration on occasion.

I will say, the worst dreams I have had were when I had to go off hormones 2 weeks prior to my two FFS surgeries.  Stress + no-estrogen = hot mess [emoji24]

I am kind of warming up to the idea of having straight sex with a man, but only when I'm post op and only if we can't work things out. So I guess you could call me bi.
