I just saw this and started reading through it when I realized that in a majority of my dreams I am either a man or I am passing successfully as a man. I have had a few nightmares though that involved me being a woman passing as a man and getting outed with really bad consequences. Dreams are odd. In the dreams where I am a woman, i am always in some situation that is fairly real and related to something that recently happened to me. I am never feminine in these dreams though, I am usually as masculine as i am in real life. Most of these dreams where i am a girl are of things that i like to do that are not considered "girl like" things and i am always good at them and usually beating guys if it is a competition. This might be reading way too much into this, but maybe this is an expression of my desire to be as successful in "stereotypical" male stuff as men are but as a woman since I don't really have the option right now of not just dealing with the female body I have. Dreams are weird sometimes. <_< I swear i remember some of them more vividly than a lot of real memories I have. Maybe I should actually start keeping one of those "dream diaries". Always seemed a little too wacky (and girly), but maybe it would tell me a little about how my own view of myself is changing and help me understand myself better.

Sometimes being young sucks because everything is so confusing.

not sure who i am washougal

I never seem to have pleasant dreams at the moment. I am always a girl but the landscape keeps shifting. Churning visions flash past, people ive known, places ive been to and sometimes just colours but it always ends the same way. I stand in a desert with white sand and absolutely no noise until I hear the fine rasp of trickling sand. It rushes away from me and i am left alone.

:lol: i am so messed up

My dreams lately are...unique. It's usually first person perspective, and I'm just watching other people, not interfering, just observing how people do these things. Usually it pertains to something I've experienced lately. Like walking down my school hallway, but people just go past, and I look at their faces.

I have had a few where I've seen myself with really pretty,long, wavy, brown hair, and wearing a white v-neck dress, and beautiful make up. I've woken up from these dreams and run my hand through my hair and been like "doh!" hehe. But those are my favorite dreams, even though I'm disappointed when I wake up lol.

Anyways,

Lots of Love, Alyssa.

It changes. Sometimes (rarely now) I really couln't tell what gender I am in my dreams...kinda reflected my confusion in real life <_< .

In those dreams that I CAN tell what gender I am: More and more, I am seeing myself as my true self, the boy. I once had a dream where I was trying to find the girl, but she was gone. I saw a mirror and saw a boy looking back. I realized I was dreaming, but it was so great to have the body I wanted (if only in a dream) that I didn't want to wake up!

Kinda random but yeah.

I think there's enough trust here to reveal a very odd thing about myself.

In my dreams... I am a combine harvester. I don't drive one, I -am- one. Odd? Yeah. I can't really explain it, either.

In my Dreams I am usually a cross between male/female then again so Is most of the people in my dream we are all unisex kind of

unless its someone I view as closed minded, then they are the sex they are in real life and everyone dislikes them for some reason.

I'm usually more girl then guy though very rarey am I more guy only when I dream I am in a fight with someone or getting hurt.

It reflects my gender selection and what I see/watch/do the day before. When I was 14, I had beaten Megaman Legends 2, I was Roll that entire night, then I beat Resident Evil 4 a few months ago, I was Leon. (that dream sucked). I watched Pans Labyrinth, I was the main character (I think it's Pan, but if I assume and say it I'll sound stupid).

well, i'm not transitioning so there is no old self/ new self.

I have never dreamed of myself as the person I would like to be... Once when i was a kid i dreamed of a place where everyone had both sexes. That's what i would like be. Interestingly, in that dream i realized that being that way, having both sexes, was the next evolution of our species....at least in the dream, it was.

so anyway, have i ever had a dream as the opposite sex? yes, but these dreams seem to be from my past life. This is assuming you believe in reincaration. If you dont, you'ld think i'm crazy (but you probably do anyway :P )

One that sticks out in my mind is i dreamed that i'm an oriental boy, about 6 to 8 years old, in a class of boys about my age, all dorming together in a building that looks quite old, made old stone i think. And the weird thing is we had all got our heads shaved recently in the same way with just a circle of long hair left on top. I remember it was itchy, and such a pain to comb thru the remaining hair like we had to every night. I really wish i could remember where I was.

my dreams are always kind of abstract...sometimes i'm a bio-guy, sometimes i'm a trans-guy...sometimes i'm not even there.

In the past I've just been androgynous. Lately, as in the past year or so, I am a bio guy. It always bums me out when I wake up and find...well...something missing.

i usually dont dream though the ones i remember are kinda 50/50.

like a bunch of times i would be fighting to protect someone or something or just live a regular day and ill be female.

then there are the really rage saturated dreams where im laying waste to entire armies with weapons swords and magic and im this monsterous male cunsumed with only the urge to kill and destroy.

and then lately my last dream was totally wierd i was female in full battle armor and had a massive fight with my dream male self... still cant remember if i won or not. "shrugs" dreams are odd anyways.

Hey, I went back in the time machine and look what I found from 2008...Dreams

Might be worth resurrecting?

Most of my dreams most of my life have involved a lot of uncertainty and confusion and me trying to figure out what was going on. Often very surreal or Daliesque.

My last one involved having found my house ransacked and my valuables missing and desperately trying to find them. It occurred shortly after my best friend died. Other than that I don't seem to dream much since I stopped altering my consciousness artificially :doh1:

I daydream and fantasise about being a girl or a woman quite often but whats going on in my head when I am sleeping... For most part, no idea...

I do remember one time, many Many years ago, I had a dream where I was a woman and gave birth to a baby girl, and then somehow I was that

baby, grown up a little, but still little, and I was searching for "me" (the mother me)... But that was one dream, on one night, long long time ago...

But now I can't remember having any nightly dreams at all in recent years. (Though I suppose I must? and I just don't remember... but since I

don't remember, obviously I have no idea what I could be dreaming about, or what my gender might usually be or if there is Me at all) :blink:

      While it is encouraging that they have deemed that they cannot ban the treatment, the bigger question is what treatments they will cover as a result. Speaking as a transgender female, this is a difficult definition. A fair number of insurance plans already cover the basic vaginoplasty, however, for those of us who have a rather masculine appearing face, a heavy beard, a deep voice, and other defining characteristics, attaining a passing feminine appearance is difficult without gender-affirming facial feminization surgery, genital and facial electrolysis, speech therapy and if necessary, gender affirming voice surgery, as well as other body contouring procedures. I view all of these procedures as life-saving in the sense that blending in, and thus avoiding an assault can come down to looking and sounding like you are female. I think the transgender males have a bit more ease with blending in than we do. There will be disagreements as to what constitutes enough surgery to be your truest self. We all pretty much understand that our true gender is locked in our mind. The issue is what can we do to modify our bodies enough to get the congruence between what is in our head, and how we perceive ourselves in the world. Is some of it cosmetic? That is hard to say for sure. I have had insurance companies insist that facial electrolysis is purely cosmetic. Well, most women do not have an Abraham Lincoln beard coming through. Some insurance companies have insisted that speech/voice therapy, as well as voice surgery, are purely cosmetic. I scoured the cosmetic counters for any makeup that would enhance my voice. Being feminine and passing does not mean I get to look and sound like Fred Flintstone in a dress. That kind of weirds folks out, and sets us up to be ridiculed and assaulted in my estimation.   My one insurer told me that beyond the vaginoplasty that all of this was cosmetic. In an appeal hearing, I asked the group that if they had a 14 year old daughter who was in an accident that resulted in a large facial scar, would they want the child to receive the best care to remove the scar? Of course they would. I pointed out though, that while she may have the scar, she could live with it. I asked them if the removal of the disfiguring scar in a 14-year old would be difficult for the child when the other kids made fun of her. Of course, they all nodded their head. I explained to the group that for folks like us, it is no different. While it may be cosmetic to a point, these procedures are essential to our well-being, and not something we are doing to be on a YouTube channel.   Now some who are trans, or gender fluid, may not want to opt for the procedures. There are quite a few of us that do, but the cost is prohibitive. What also clouds the issue are the surgeons who operate out of large medical centers who participate in the large insurance pools. How many of our sisters and brothers have had to pony up some major dollars to a surgeon who is out of network? Good luck trying to get the surgery paid for by your insurer. They may pay you what they pay the surgeons in network, but you won't get that much in reimbursement. A fair number of insurance companies balk at speech and voice therapy, and many will not cover voice surgery. Then there is the issue of electrolysis. A day at the "spa" for electrolysis with anesthetics will run around 3,000 bucks or so, and you may need many repeat visits. Many of the insurers fail to pay for that as well. Just about none of the insurers will cover body contouring procedures such as a panniculectomy, or liposuction. When the insurance companies will just help us become our truest selves, then we will have progress with gender identity laws.   The one good thing that this decision does is preserve the primary care for transgender individuals. I have to wonder how Florida and the rest of the states who have banned having Medicaid cover transgender healthcare are going to act. This should be an interesting fight. When we have the ability to seek care and get what we need for our true needs, without any pre-judgements, then these court orders will mean something. A court order without parameters for the insurance companies is hollow.

      Morning y'all, fingers crossed for everyone who has stuff going on.   Welcome back to reality @April Marie, enjoy your improving weather!   Why is it that we humans always take too long to acclimatize to the changing seasons, especially when it gets colder like it is here? Maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age, lol.

      Oooooooooooooooops, I forgot yesterday.   I was thinking of a few bands who had a member invited who said no and went right into obscurity or left before the band got big.   1) Led Zeppelin -  origially wanted Terry Reid to be lead vocalist and he decided the stay solo. 2) Crosby, Stills & Nash - invited John Sebastian to join before Neil Young, Sebastian said no. 3) Signe Anderson quit as lead vocalist with Jefferson Airplane and they replaced her with Grace Slick.

      Good morning, everyone! We're back from a short vacation with friends to the mountains of NC. It was a fun time driving the twisty mountain roads.   Now it's back to reality of cutting grass, washing windows and putting in screens and putting out the porch furniture. Coming home to warmer weather than when we left is glorious.   Happy Anniversary @Willow!    I hope your family is feeling better @KymmieL - my wife and I shared a stomach virus several weeks ago that was horrid.   Hang in there @Birdie, it will all work out!!   Have a wonderful day, everyone!

      I think many Christians end up with a false dichotomy.  If we didn't choose to be how we are, then something in our environment did it. Is going along with it a sin?  Maybe.  But if so, its one of those times where we mess something up no matter what we do.  Part of the imperfect nature of this fallen world is that there are times where we'll sin no matter what we do.  In a no-win scenario like that, we do the wisest thing possible with our free will.
