    A couple of weeks ago, I started having dreams that made me think more so on my gender-fluidity. Now, I've always loved swans. I find them beautiful, regal, and while I haven't seen the movie, I enjoy the tale of The Swan Princess. I was having an okay day, and after falling asleep, I had dreamt I myself turned into a swan princess, or at least a swan. I flew over a valley and back into lakes, and I slept on the edge of a lake under trees. Now, while this might not really be related to my gender (gender-fluidity with a personal lean towards MtF), I think it might have something to do with it, or it's at least something to bring up to the therapist. Any opinions? The only reason why I might be against telling her is because she states she doesn't see any issue with my gender asides I'm in a grey area.

    I'm new here, and I'm slowly getting into posting and commenting. I'm not sure if I could offer any opinions or especially advice, but I kind of feel the same with my dreams.

    I have a tendency to have dreams where I'm a female and I'm with a guy, and these kind of dreams have been with me for near 10 years. I love the idea of them. Being the female I feel like I am inside a most of the time, but I always have the fear that being found out for being who I am would destroy my life. I consider going down the road, I want to go down the road of being a true MtF but I fear I do not know how, or what will happen if I do.

    I find myself in a gray area of not knowing anything at this point..

    Dreams don's usually mean anything, but I don't see what harm it could do to mention it to your therapist. I've often dreamt that I was a girl (often the female virgin in a slasher flick). Doesn't say anything about my gender.
