    Were you ever a girl in your dreams? Did you make love to a guy as girl in your dreams?

    Erm...well I'm not a MtF, I'm a FtM; but I have plenty of dreams where I'm a guy, and do things like that only with other men.
    So you're not alone, even if it's coming from a different perspective.

    I'll always remember the first one when I was. I never thought I'd feel that way again. It was over half my life ago.

    But I guess I was wrong :slight_smile:

    Coming from another FTM perspective, most of my dreams i didn't see gender, it was just me. At first I wondered if this might be a sign that I was a bit androgynous but I think it's more likely that I've never known what I'd look like as a guy so my brain just takes that element out of the picture. I don't know. It seems like seeing yourself as a female in your dreams would be pretty normal though, but if not it could be just as normal.

    ^ Agreed. In my dreams, I still see me as "me", so to speak. I don't imagine myself as some big, burly man, but again, it might be because I can't register myself or envision myself as male. Gender doesn't play much of a role in my thoughts.

    I do happen to take on more of a "male" or inner persona depending on the dream, though.

    (Sorry, another transguy perspective. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

    Typically I was always a girl in my dreams. When I first started questioning my gender I started to impose on myself the stereotype that girls naturally slept with guys; so I would then dream about being a girl making love to a guy. Those dreams mostly confused me, so I started to experiment with porn trying to figure out what "turned me on" the most. Once I found out that being a lesbian mentally just "clicked" the best I would start to have these wonderful dreams about being physically female making love to other women. I always woke up feeling great after having those dreams.

    I guess the best question is, how do you feel after your dreams?

    Yeah, me too. I sometimes saw myself as specifically a girl or a guy, but mostly just 'me'. For a long time I didn't think much about gender either, in my head it was almost non-existant.
    I don't think it's because my brain doesn't know how I'd look as a guy, because since I accepted myself as trans I have been seeing myself as a man more often in my dreams. My first guess would be that my brain couldn't see me as a girl, but couldn't accept I was a man either, and therefore just stuck with 'me'.

    Those 'man dreams' always make me happy and sad at the same time. You know, those dreams that are so realistic you believe they are real, even a second or two after you woke up? I've had a few in which I was a man, I woke up beaming with happiness, until I realized it had been nothing but a dream. Damn! Lol!

    I honestly can't recall ever having intercourse in my dreams. In my dreams I tend to feel how I perceive myself being perceived by others if that makes sense. Usually I'm worried about trying to pass as one gender or another. I had a dream growing up that I was pregnant I know for sure.

    I'm not trans, but I've had male dreams. I'd guess my dreams are about 75% me being female, 25% me being male. I just chalk it up to being creative (I'm an aspiring author). Also, I'm almost never 'me' in my dreams (only when something's bugging me do I actually dream as myself).

    ^ Fourthed? Yeah, I usually just see "me" in my dreams, not as fe/male. Think maybe once I've had a man dream?

    I don't know if I'm anywhere close to being considered a transgender--that's what I'm here to figure out--But I have had a few dreams as a female. In at least one of them I had sex with a man. However, in the majority of my dreams I am male, and when those dreams are sexual it is with women.
     
  13. Can't say my dreams have ever been sexual, but I have had numerous dreams through the years where I was female. To say they've felt incredibly real is an understatement.

    I'm cis and I've had that experience; I think it's fairly normal, but most people won't admit it.

    Like others I don't always dream as a male or female but instead just only as myself. That being said I do frequently dream as a girl. Probably around 60% female, 40% male.
