Last night I had a dream in which my sister was coming out to me. My sister is the straightest person I know and I woke up super confused. This wasn't the first dream though. About a month ago I had a similar dream in which my mom was gay. Its super bizarre! Has anyone else had dreams similar to these?? Or am I the only one having these weird reversed role dreams?
They may try to appear very straight because they have some... urges themselves. No, seriously. I know two women who are extremely homophobic... and both of them had some... les yay moments.
You might interpret the persons as part of you, projected on some relatives of you. Seeing a woman in your dreams might hint to your emotional side.
I used to have what I'd say are similarly 'reversed' dreams. Namely: In 8th grade, I had this friend, who for whatever reason, suddenly turned on me, with some other 'friends', and decided that they were going to make my life a living Hell. What is strange, is that after that year, the whole thing ended; I'd see him, we'd say nothing to each other, and so it went till I graduated. I was just happy it ended, and they stopped trying to beat me up. Then, when I went to college, he was there...and in the same dorm, down the hall! So I started to have these dreams that I was in middle-school again, and that we'd become lovers, and instead of fighting, we'd be kissing and having sex, and it was the strangest thing. I mean, he was cute, but he was also my biggest enemy/bully that I faced, and to have these sexual dreams (repeatedly) with him in them struck me as somehow meaningful, and felt particularly exhilarating. Actually, I still have them sometimes. I suppose it's a way of undoing things, undoing not just the hurt, but also just the sheer loneliness of that era of life.
It doesn't seem surprising at all. In your dreams, your subconscious is thinking about the same things that you think about during the day. Rightly or wrongly, coming out is something we think about very much from the perspective of those we're considering coming out to. 'How will my mum/sister feel about this? What will it be like for her? How will she react?' I imagine that in these dreams your brain is just working through those kinds of thoughts by putting you in their position.
