Hey,

Ever since I can remember i have never had a single dream in which i am the Gender i was assigned at birth, that is obviously male, I have always dreamt that i am female. However in these dreams, i have either been in first person, or once or twice i have been in a kind of third person view, looking over what is happening, but i have never seen my female face in these dreams.

Basically, my question to you all is this:

Do you or have you experienced this?

and

Is there any significant meaning behind these dreams?

April,

The interpretation of dreams is a subject of great debate. Some place major importance on the dreams others don't, some see the dreams as literal while others tend to analyze a lot of symbolism into them. I think of my dreams as a sort of escape from the real world - in the few that I remember I am almost always female. On rare occasions when I have dreamt of myself as male - there was some sort of threatening confrontation in my real life and in the dream I become a sort of James Bond or Rambo and vanquish the evil doer rather handily - but the next dream I'm female again.

I believe that dreams are dreams - what you really want to be comes out in these glimpses into your subconscience. That's why I dream as female and so do you. Only great duress makes me dream as male for even the shortest periods.

Is there any significant meaning behind these dreams? Yes, it let's you know who you need to be, nothing more. Some people would place importance on the fact that you have never seen your female face - I don't we only see our own faces in reflections and photographs, so why should we in our dreams?

That's enough thinking for today, I need to sleep - purchance to dream...

Love ya,

Sally

Dreams...interesting..

I always seem to dream genderless and looking down at a situation from above.I can't ever remember seeing myself as either male or female. It's like I'm watching myself, but, not really seeing myself...too weird. Must talk to therapist about this......

(once I dreamed I was eating marshmellows and when I woke up my pillow was gone! :P )

I was having this really strange dream the other night and woke up and my leg was irritated...I went back to sleep...I woke up, again...my leg was REALLY irritated now...I rolled over...the dream didn't come back...but I woke up again now the other leg was irritated...it's like 3:30 a.m. on a Wednesday morning for crying out loud. I have to get out of the bed...turn on the lights...search the bed, I was looking for a pea...and didn't see anything. I started to rub my arm across the bed and doggoneit...there was a quill sticking out from the feather bed. Finally got back to sleep...never remembered the dream and didn't pick it back up...darn it I hardly ever dream. I'd be afraid to ask Donna Jean...or know what happened after she found her pillow gone with the marshmellow dream...I just HOPE there wasn't any foods the night before that might have caused gas the next day...hopefully it was a VEEeeeEERY smaaaall pillow (-; Kelly Ann

I've been taking Chantix to stop smoking for about 6 weeks now...and I've had more bizarre half-rememberances of dreams in the last six weeks than in years...there's actually a warning about it in the literature...I DO seem to remember sitting in some like...director's chair with some really obnoxious person egging on this rather large crowd and me too...so there I was...sticking my tounge out suddenly at him/them and walking off stage and <boink> awake with an irritated leg

95% of my dreams involve me and my friends being chased by zombies lol. sometimes we win sometimes we don't, but i almost always am in first person and the times when i do dream in 3rd person i don't even look like i really do.

Good question! I read somewhere most people dream in installments, three times a night - usually REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement). Each one lasts about 15 minutes - and only the last one just before you wake up is the one you can remember, usually. :P

Dreams are where your brain dumps all the memories of the past day or so - but these filter through life experieces stored in your brain, so you never know what is happening. Thats probably why things change so fast in a dream ..

Personally, I don't remember most dreams - but some are so powerful I wake up! Some are erotic - and most often I am genderless in them, either way.

BUT

I do have about twenty or thirty a year where I am one hunded percent female. Most are very peaceful and I am soooo happy. Sometimes I have just accidently outed myself. Sometimes - go figure, I am with my husband and two boys aged 8 and 11. Previous life? And I do have erotic dreams as a female - nuff said bout those... :lol:

But now that I am truely at peace with my transitioning, I find I wake up feeling female almost every morning, and have to concentrate on facing the day - weekdays especially are difficult as I am not out at work. uggggh - nasty to have to shift gears - cannot wait until transition is complete - wow.

On those erotic ones, a little hint - I worry afterwards if my birth contol is gonna work! Yikes. :blush:

Of all the dreams I can remember, I have always been female. Even when it did not seem apropriate. I just figured it was another part of my always having felt I was female.

I dream this way also ......If I dream at all which is very seldom.Yes I know that we all supposedly dream but I am very seldom aware of having dreams.

The real reason I wanted to quate this was the disappearing pillow just busted me up.LOL :lol:

Hamlet' Fifth Soliloquy, very nice (I'm a drama major, it's an all girls class ... they just don't know it)

I find that when I dream I'm usually a girl but it varies, sometimes I'm completely female in my dreams, sometimes I'm simply wearing a skirt ... dreams are strange, all i know is the ones i remember most are happy dreams, the dreams where I'm a girl ...there's my favorite one of them all where I'm a brides made at my best friends wedding :D

Talk again soon and remember this above all; to thine own self be true.

In an amazing coincidence - I was going to post on this today. I have been very nervous of where I will be in one year from now, 16 -18 mnths into HRT. I PM'd a girlfriend on this last night. THEN -I went to bed and I dreamed of what I would look like - I was beautiful!

I knew it was about a year in the future because my hair was about 6 inches longer than it is now. Wow

If it is really true! Oh if it is...

Strangely enough, only lately have the dreams I've been having featured me as a female. Before that, I was sort of genderless, much like Donna Jean said, but lately my gender has played a rather prominent role, from me sitting at a table with some girls being depressed because they're talking about having children and I can't (so perhaps not fully female) to me and a boyfriend (that does not exist in real life ;-;). However, before the dreams in which I was female, I seldom remembered them... and now I seem to be remembering nearly all of my dreams, or if not remembering in clarity, remembering that it did feature me as a female.

sorry to be boring here but my dreams are usually unrelated to trans stuff...at least not internally or directly (occasionally ill have a dream such as the one where a guy tried to kiss me and i punched him and said "what the **** is wrong with you?!?!")

lol.

but really i cant say what gender i am in my dreams, theyre focused on whats going around me and im kinda just watching it all and not paying attention to my gender.

im still waiting for one of those sex dreams so many people here keep posting threads about though :lol:

      I need to be my nest, but its freezing in here!  And GF is all curled up...she's gonna have to un-curl herself, because I'm gonna shiver to death without snuggles

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
