Okay. I'm a bit confused. I know dreams usually don't mean anything. But I've had quite a few trans dreams lately. In all of them I'm female, but sometimes with male characteristics. I'm almost always in public in these dreams and end up having the humiliated feeling and everyone stares at me. In the waking world, I am having more and more days where I really start to hate my female chest. When watching movies, I always picture myself in the guys situation. But it's the being female in my dreams that bothers and confuses me. Has anyone else had similar experiences? 

yeah i used to be female in many of my dreams.....not that i live full time as male, i'm male in my dreams. dreams basically depict tiny pieces of your reality, your daydreams, and your fears, all mixed together with a lot of other input....so yeah.

Hmm makes sense. God I hate how they feel so real though.

Well you're still living and presenting as female so it would make sense. I think I was like that before, too.

I keep having pretty much the same experience, but with genders reversed. So you are not alone.

I wouldn't take dreams too seriously. I have had many dreams where I am female or basically sexless like a Ken doll. Just without the muscle definition. But, I have also had dreams where I am a cartoon/anime/comic character, dreams where I look like a video game character, and probably my favorite weird dream was one where I was a talking dog.

Dreams are often influenced by how we live from day to day, things that we see but don't notice, things we watch/read/etc.

But to answer your question, yes. I have dreams that I am still living as female. I think it is just an influence of a lot of different things. The fact that I am still seen as female outside of my house affects my dreams, I am sure.

I didn't start having dreams where I was a woman until I started living as a woman full-time. It hasn't been steady though. Sometimes I still dream I am a man and it is a bit disturbing.

I agree that it doesn't mean much.  I was always male in my dreams until I started presenting myself as more feminine.  After that it was about even between male, female, and genderless.  It might switch again as I transition.  Does it really matter though?  They're just dreams.

I'm ftm in most of my dreams. The other day I dreamed about peeing standing up, and it was at a urinal, but it was definitely with girl parts. You don't have to take your dreams very seriously if you don't feel like it.

Most of my dreams are from the third person "God" perspective, so if there was ever a guy or girl that remotely looked liked me, I generally assumed that it was. For those rare dreams that I experienced instead of watched, there was never any indication as to whether I was male or female, so I never questioned it. Dreams are weird but they're supposed reflect personal thoughts, fears, doubts and hopes - I wouldn't look too far into them unless they're repetitive and costing you sleep, though.

hi dude, I am doing alittle dream analysing, I could try analyse your dreams,
and then I could tell you alittle about it,

if you would like,

Come to think of it, my very favorite dream involved my being a kind of androgynous individual, and seduced, dominated, and penetrated by a beautiful and magical and powerful female up in a castle tower. Decidedly not a masculine scenario, but I felt like a very strong and happy man afterward.

this is my experience too. I only had just a handful of dreams that I was a girl but since I have been fulltime it's mostly me a girl.

I do have an occasional dream where my gender is clouded and yes, it can be very disturbing.

btw dont remember if I have asked you and its pretty out of topic but are you scandinavian?

Personally, I like to believe that dreams are just a re-manifestation of the thoughts you had through out the day.  I like to think it's like your brains processing your thoughts that day. 
That could be completely wrong, but I just like to believe it, lol.
So for me, if I had a dream like that, I would only interpret it to mean that I had thoughts about how I look like a female, and I had thoughts about wanting to dress like a guy.

I had an interesting dream once, a couple years back, where I saw myself as a girl, but I was running around without a shirt on. From the looks of it, I was rather embarressed of my chest, but no one seemed to notice besides me, so I eventually got over it and continued to run around. Looking back on it now, I find it to be one of my favorite dreams because although my body was female, I was seen and treated as another guy. 

Funny how I had this dream way before I even knew what the word transgender meant.

haha no im not 

Last night I had the coolest dream ever. I was the ultimate badass. Totally male (though idk if transmale or cismale), totally tough and vicious and happy, even with a pretty small body. I had black hair for some reason, and everything was a little more angular and digital-looking than it is in real life. Lots of tall buildings, no sunlight, maybe a dome over the city or smog or something. I had an Akira-ish motorcycle and I knew what I was doing. I fought people and played very graceful and deadly games. It was like finally being awake and alive and unburdened. Finally breathing. Nothing was wrong, I wasn't hurting anybody (yes I know that idea clashes with the idea that I was deadly and vicious) and nobody was hurting me. Life was as it should be.

I hope I have more dreams like that.
