I Dream As A Girl

[Guest Emily Violet]

ever since i was little in all my dreams i wasnt a boy but a girl i even have dreams where i become a girl those where my favorite but any way i was wondering if anyone else has similar dreams to mine

[Guest ~Kelly~]

In my dreams, I am rarely self aware of my own condition. In other words, the issue of whether I am a boy or a girl is never really an issue.....I am simply me (with me being a girl, so I guess I AM a girl in my dreams, but that really hasn't been a central theme to the dream itself so I have never really made the connection) However, recently I have been having dreams that are quite different. In these dreams, I am someone completely different. I have just finished reading the Twilight saga and practically every night of the 3 weeks it took to read, my dreams involved me being Bella (the female lead in the books) Even having finished them a week ago, I still have the dreams. I am not sure what my subconscious is trying to tell me with this one.....whether I really relate to her that much or whether I am jealous of her relationship with Edward or maybe it is just so much time devoted to the character development in my own head of who I envision her to be and the fact that it is a first person narration, that I actually based her character on myself, and therefore by dreaming that I am her, I am really dreaming for myself to be put in the fictional situation she was in the book. hmmmmmmm....I tend to over-analyze things LOL And dreams can be one of those things that just allows all the over-analysis that is possible. I know this doesn't necessarily answer your question....in fact it probably just confused you....I know I personally am now more confused than when I first read the original post.....and for that I am sorry

I've had a few of those. Not as often as I'd like, but it happens once in a while. In fact, the best, most amazing dream I ever had was such a dream.

I actually had one last week, but it was brief. Its silly to admit, I suppose, but in that one I was Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. ::laughs:: Not terribly surprising as I always admired her character, I guess.

[Guest ashley4623]

99% of my dreams I'm just "there" it's like I'm unaware of my body... almost there in spirit form.

The few times I have been aware of my body... it has been female

Really great dreams, haha.

So to answer your question... yes I've had dreams like that

[Sally]

I have had so many dreams where I became a girl, they started when I was about 6 years old and still continue.

I'm going to bed right now, I've already told the other moderators that I am going to try sleeping tonight and I'm pretty sure I'll have anothe rof those dreams.

Love ya and Good Night,

Sally

[Guest 1Char]

Had one dream where I was Columbia from the rocky horror picture show! Lmao!!

Otherwise my dreams don't seem to really have a relavent gender

[Guest rosey]

i always dream of being femals its awful bc when i wake up im not

[Guest Kaze]

In my dreams I'm pretty much always looking through my eyes, so I'm not really sure if I'm male or female in them. However, I can't remember a dream where there wasn't a girl in it, although it isn't always the same one, and not always "human" either. There are sometimes other people there as well, although in the dreams I can remember after waking up it is rarer for there to be others. Some dreams I'd spend just watching her, sort of like I was watching a TV show (floating/weird angles and it being like I wasn't there), others we would interact in some way, and sometimes we wouldn't interact at all. The "TV dreams" I never seem to be self aware enough to do more than follow along, but occassionally in other types I will, which often end up being rather weird dreams and I've only been able to see my arms and legs.

[Guest Eth]

In my dreams, I am usually female though, like Kelly said, that's not really the main focus of my dreams so it's not what I'm thinking about. But yeah I'm female 99.99% of the time in my dreams... When I was little I used to have dreams of being a boy but becoming a girl at embarrassing times XD - like in the middle of a room full of other kids, or with my parents around, etc.

[Guest Emily Violet]

there not my main focus either ive just noticed that when i don dream im usually female. ive had tons of weird dreams though haha

[Guest Neil!]

All my dreams were in a first-person POV for the LONGEST time. Then, a little while after I started transition, I started dreaming in third-person, as a guy. Only occasionally though - sometimes I still dream in first-person but when I don't, I'm definitely male.

...Although, after I got my first "real" haircut, I kept having these nightmares where I'd pass by a mirror and notice that it had grown back and I looked the way I had pre-transition. I always panicked and spent the rest of the dream trying to cut it short again. Yeah, that was traumatizing. :l

[Guest Christy.dancer]

I very rarely see myself in my dreams, but ever since I came to grips with my gender issues, I see myself as female.

Right after my diagnosis, when I had some really new, warm, fuzzy feelings about the idea of my transition, I saw myself in a very vivid dream. I was standing on the sidewalk looking across the street at a bus stop, and I could see myself waiting for a bus. (It's a sidewalk I jog down every day, and it's a bus I'm very familiar with). Anyway, I saw myself as a girl in the dream. I wasn't particularly sexy, just wearing a pair of capri tights and a hoodie (my normal kinda dress) but I could tell I had breasts, and was wearing my hair longer and had very light makeup (and for the oddest reasons, blond hair!) and I was supremely contented.

[Guest Ripley82]

Almost all of the dreams that I can remember I have been a girl in. But it is depressing when you have a wonderful dream like that then wake up and "POOF" its all gone. It dose give somthing to daydream about though.

[Guest Sandra]

The other night I dreamt I was a girl and accidentally walked into the men's washroom, got embarrassed and then went to the women's. There were some other things that happened which I can't recall at the moment, but I always wake up very pleased whenever I've been my female self in my dreams. I wish I could make it a reality by transitioning, but can't start right now due to complications in my life. Hopefully I'll get the chance later this year.

[Guest Casey7890]

Most of the time in my dreams I either don't have a body, or my body is completely sexless. Very rarely am I a girl or a boy in my dreams.

[Guest leo]

in my dreams at an earlier age i had the ability it change from my current wex to a male and back again when i would like

then around 14ish it was just male

and now im either the male i really am or i actually dream im trans

You too?! I read the 4 book series cover to cover 4 times. It is a great fantasy with so many opportunities to let your imagination take off. Even better than Harry Potter for that. I have a great imagination given a seed idea like Twilight. I rewrite whole sections in my head while I am driving to work and when I am swimming laps. Like what if Bella had Hermione's wand, hmmmm? What if she could take James on her own? That would make an interesting story too. Instead of letting the Italians leave, she might have kept any from escaping!

But no, I don't dream about my gender. If I am in a dream, I am in the dream but my gender hasn't actually come up. Perhaps I have pretty boring, androgynous dreams. When I can remember them, which is infrequently. 'Course I am speaking as an adult now. Decades ago I had the same dreams that so many of us as children had about a machine that could change my sex or some other really cool painless transition.

Dearest Emily,

The strongest memories of my childhood are remembering that when I dreamt, I was a girl in my dreams. I remember too the hollow feeling when I woke up only to discover that I was in fact a boy. That vacant feeling of discovery after I awoke as a child is very vivid to me to this day and haunts me. Gender identity has always been an issue for me. All throughout my life, I have had good stable years and not so good, unstable years. I am finally working on settling my gender identity once and for all. Dearest, I wish I started to ask real questions like this when I was your age.

HUGS

yeah same here. the only time there was ever an issue of gender in my dreams was this one weird dream i had, where this girl in schol i had a crush on was taking people's pulses, and i was in a line that was all guys. i ended up chickening out at the last minute cuz i was worried she'd be suspicious if i had a really high heart rate. lol, it was a funny dream considering we are both bio majors and i think this happened around the time we were learning about the circulatory system

even in that dream i wasn't really self-aware of whether i was physcially male or female but considering the surrounding circumstances i assumed i was supposed to be a guy in that dream.

oh, there was another dream i had about a year or two ago where i grew a mustache, i think in that one i was anatomically female cuz i remember the mustache just popping up out of nowhere and i didn't really know how it happened but was just really psyched abut it.

[Guest Kailey]

Sadly my sleep has been almost entirely dreamless for over a year. I recall maybe two dreams at most, with one being the night my parents got divorced... though my dad has never been in, nor ever will be in, the military, it was the most dreadful dream where I saw some terrorist bat him with a gun barrel to death. Of course he's still alive and well now though... but I actually felt the pain of actually losing a parent. I woke up crying only to have my memory come back to me. Don't know where that one came from because I would never in a million years think like that...

I had a one a while ago, though (another very random one) in which Marci Bowers agreed to perform SRS on me before I was even out or hormones or anything But what was so neat was I remember touching myself, and I was ME... I still don't understand how I could know what that felt like though... because of course I'm in a male body right now.

The first one sounds very sad. I have dreams like that all the time, heh. The second one seems very, very nice. I'm glad you had one like that. I'd like to have one like that sometime, too.

[Guest My_Genesis]

I'd like to have one like that sometime, too.

lol, my sister is 13, she told me the other day shes had two dreams where she was...anatomically male...and she said "it was really disturbing." and i was thinking, "then why dont you give them to me?" cuz i never have those types of dreams...
