In your dreams, are you your old self, or your new self? I'm usually my old self, or not paying enough attention to it to know. I think once I was my new self.

More and more often, I am my future self. I still have a few where I'm my current self, but they mostly involve transition in some way. I don't have dreams that often, though. Mostly day dreams.

Hmm... I don't dream that often. I can remember a few where I was just my regular female self, before I realized I was trans (about 12 or 13 years old). But I remember one time, when I wanted to have my hair cornrowed, I dreamed that my hair was cornrowed. And I was wearing hecka nifty clothing, too. This was when I was like 12. That dream was in third person. I was literally watching myself.

I had a dream maybe six months ago where I was female, but I was trying on this really ugly dress and looking at myself in the mirror. Then my family was all "It's time to go!" so I put on a really big raincoat over it and went to the party that we were apparently going to. My extended family was there, and I was trying to have fun, but the raincoat was really puffy and hot, but I couldn't take it off because then they would see I was wearing that ugly dress. Wonder what that means. :P

The last dream I had, about a month ago, I wasn't even in. I was just... watching it. There were two dogs, a cartoon german shepherd, and a cartoon bulldog in the bulldog's office. The german shepherd was trying to sell the bulldog everlasting life. But the bulldog said, "I don't want everlasting life! I want to die eventually!" and then he ran across his office, threw himself down in the middle of it, and was promptly run over by a train. Unlike the previous one I have no idea what the hell it means.

But, uh, yeah. In all the other dreams I can remember I didn't see myself or I was just my current, female self.

I usually don't remember my dreams, but some have really stood out in my mind. Those I usually try to analyse and see if they have a meaning. But more often than not I intuitively know what they mean.

I barely ever remember my dreams... But I do remember once I had a lucid dream. I made myself a girl... then it ended ;.;

I want more lucid dreams.

I've always have had the same woman in my dreams since I could remember. Usually, I'm her, but sometimes, when I'm doubting myself or my inner woman, she'll be present, either really, really mad at me or just upset.

However, usually these dreams make no sense. The other night, three-inch versions of MacGyver, Tom Cruise and Darth Vader we all arguing the best way to get me off of my bookshelf.

A few weeks ago, I had a dream I was standing in Yellowstone, in a herd of bison. Some of them moved away, and there was a blue bison eating grass. He looked up at me, and said, "I am the sign you are looking for." I instantly knew he was talking about me being transgendered.

But I still have no idea what the blue bison meant.

i'm my current male self in my dreams, but i have wicked dreams that make no sense at all, like darth vader and voldemort having a conversation at the bottom of a swimmingpool while a rainbowcolored killerfish wash showing of his muscles to lots of people in black cloaks. Others are like bruce willis trying to kill me in his ferrari while i am running towards a time machine to get rid of the virus in me, and at the end my family who appear to be the incredibles were waiting for me. i also dream of donald duck and his 3 cousins also about harry potter who works together with malfoy, about little red ridnig hood, but also about non existent stories ^_^'...

anyway i'm mostly there myself as male, but sometimes i see everythnig third person, and i'm not anywhere to be seen, but often i'm someone else in my dream male or female, doesn't matter, but i switch between them al the time, often looking true the eyes of many diffrent people in the same dream...

my friends are jealous of my creative dreams ^^

Ya know, as I think about it more, I realize that when I DO dream I am just... Me. I don't really even concern myself about what I am wearing in the dreams at all. Its just seen from my eyes and I don't even begin to think about what sex I am... Unless, like last night, that is the subject of the dream. I was dreaming that I was coming out to my family... While I was wearing feminine clothes. <.<; I know I had that dream because coming out is on my mind constantly now.

I have really messed up dreams. Kind of like if Alice in Wounderland and PeeWee's Play House get blended togeather while on Acid. but i wont get in to those ones!

The frist dream I can ever remember having was when I was 5, and I was already dreaming I was boy! I was being chased down a hallway made of bones by two people dressed as Tucan Sam. Once I got out of the hall way I was a Pirate on a ship in the middle of battle trying to save some girl... I have alot od dreams like that.

I turned into a boy in a dream I had when I was a little kid, but I don't really know if that was transgender related. Mostly, my dreams are disgustingly grounded in reality. I am always female, in in some dreams I'll think "Gee, I'm transsexual, that sucks" but I'm never male. I did have a dream where I had no breasts recently. That's about as close as I get.

What's with the abundance of Lord Voldemort dreams? In one of my dreams, he was a vampire, and he had a wife who was a hag, and we had both of them over for dinner, and he kept saying "very good, very good."

Last night I had a dream that I was in a Wal Mart, but there was an GLBT meeting there, and Laura was leading it! People kept introducing me as the new girl and introducing me as 'she'. I even met someone that shared my name. She's like "I'm Michelle" and I said hey me too! That's all I can really remember; I was pretty amused. :lol:

that's totally awesome, i wish my dreams made that much sense ^_^ i used to remember most of my dreams, but in the last month or so i haven't remembered/had any :(

in most of my dreams though, i was just...me really. i was basically living as a girl, but still completely biologically male. i don't know if that means anything, maybe it's just reality :(

i never usually 'saw' myself, like i just kind of knew what gender i was. in a few of them i was a girl, in a few i was a boy. i'd always get so annoyed when i woke up and realised i'd just dreamt i was a boy though, i always thought it meant there was something wrong with me.

I am always female in my dreams sadly. I do not believe I have had one dream where I had been male. Also all of my sex dreams are with men even though I like women :blink: I hate dreaming. I don't have nightmares I just have really weird dreams. I once had a dream where I giant goo-eyeball kidnapped my english teacher and her child. Another dream was evil fire-robot things taking over a GLBT party I was at in Germany. I then had to go on an epic quest to stop the evil dictator from turing all my friends into his slaves. It ended with me defeating him and moving in with a hairdresser and the dictators dog in the Czech Republic :D That's a normal dream for me.

I don't dream all that much, and when I do my physical characteristics are allways to blurry for me to remember. Though the other night I dreamt I was a friend of mines wife, I went to the basement to talk to him or something, and he was adding all these hallways to the house. When I asked him what he was doing he said he was going to the moon, I didn't think anything of it and went and washed the dishes or something, and I started getting this weird feeling, so I checked on him again, and there was a huge network of tunnels, so I asked him what he was doing again. He said he was going to the moon in a really weird way, then i started to get scared and ran, I got into the car just as he was about to get me and drove away. I'm not sure how I knew I was his wife though, what I looked like was still to blurry to tell anything :S

I have had about 5 dreams this year (thats in total, not just ones I can remember) . I can remember every detail for a month or so afterwards though. In 2 dreams this year I've been going though transition and in another 2 I've been a girl. My dreams are almost always true to life, no talking animals, fictional characters or anything like that.

Alicia: There is no possible way to tell if you haven't had any more than dreams, or if you just can't remember them. You surely have, because REM is part of the nightly sleep cycle which always occurs unless you don't sleep or have the right kind of brain damage. You don't even know what happens in your bed at night! Bwa ha ha ha ha!

I just had a dream I was living as the opposite sex, but still with this body. Dreams still disgustingly realistic in the oddest ways.

Imaginary person: Yes! We have defeated the fire breathing elephants! We have done well, Adrian.

Me: Yeah, but now I have to empty the dishwasher. Bye.

I have DSPS, delayed sleep phase syndrome, and have been suffering from insomnia for the majority of this year. Thats why I have had almost no dreams this year, otherwise you would be right. Anyway, does anyone here have lucid dreams?

Link to comment

Now that I really think about it, my dreams are majority me being a girl... usually something along the lines of a red short skirt, short feminine hair, and some kind of white top.

Besides that, it does go over like any other people's dream. sometimes it's weird, sometimes, it's reflective, sometimes...well, most of the times i forgot them after a few days.

I did have lucid dreams a lot of times when I was younger. Those were the days where I tried to get myself to sleep as long as I could. ^_^ I remember dreaming up this situation where it's basically like the manga, Ranma 1/2 situation. It was kinda fun and spunky. ^^ I remember feeling very rejuvenated and light-hearted after that dream.

I keep having a dream where I see myself standing in front of a giant mirror and then for some reason I get really mad and smash it. Then I look away for a second and when I turn back the mirror is back to normal but the only thing is that there is a shadow of a person in it thats not me. Then I hear heart wretching crying coming out of nowhere. It confuses me or maybe I just got seven years of bad luck!

I usually dream alot and when i do i'm usually a very feminine girl in some weird crossover world once i had a dream where i was in a salon where i was changed from boy to girl 100% hair and everything t was a realy great dream

I forgot to mention this before, but in one dream this year I was at home, dressed as a girl, when my parents entered. They sat down and I explained about how I am a girl. After this they told me that they had suspected as much, hugged me then left. I remember when I woke up I was so happy because I thought it was real and I had finally told them the night before.

I just had a dream where I was a guy . . I think. I didn't really think about it too much. I did have long green hair though. Apart from that, it was like real life.

Guest Exiledrain

You know what's kind of weird? Ever since I've joined these forums, I've noticed that in my dreams I seem to blur in and out, kind of overlapping, like I'm not really either. It's kind of odd.

      They may win a few battles but not the war! as @Davie pointed out there is little truth if it full of lies, inconsistencies, and ignores evidence to the contrary. I saw this article earlier and have to agree here. Truth will win. This isn’t the first time this tactic has been tried. Always stick with the truth!

      Welcome @violet r! Glad you joined our forum and got through the hardest part…that first post. As many have mentioned, we are more than accepting here as we affirm your gender identity and hold no judgement, whatsoever. There’s so much here on this forum, I think you’ll find very helpful. If you have trouble finding an answer just reach out, try the search but starting a new thread is usually best to get some quick answers. Many are here for various transgender related issues but many, if not all, are here to help one another if we can. It’s great to have you onboard.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.
