      Question Dreams where you are not yourself?

      Hey everyone, I'm new to these forums. I'm a 23 yo male and I am a part time lucid dreamer. I have been having some strange non-lucid dreams though and I was wondering if anyone else has ever had these kind of dreams.

      The main thing is that I keep dreaming I am a woman. I had one a couple weeks ago where I was a gorgeous blond. I was alone in this rich guy's house. I decided for some reason to cut off my head and set it down on a chair in the middle of the room. Then I grew another head and began stealing as much of the rich guy's stuff as I could. All the while, my severed head's beautiful eyeballs were following me through the room. When I started getting creeped out I leaned close to my face, and it started speaking in tongues to me, at which point I had to wake up because I was seriously freaked out.

      Some of my other dreams about being women have been more disturbing than that one. I don't usually get to do anything fun in these dreams, and sometimes I'm being victimized or abused. I've never suffered any abuse in my waking life.

      So I guess I was wondering if people here often dream that they are someone else? It's a wierd feeling knowing that you are not yourself. I rarely have dreams anymore where I AM myself so I am hoping I'm not alone here.

      Thanks, malkavian

      I frequently have dreams where I am not myself. In some of them I am a man. Sometimes I am not even human! I don't think these kinds of dreams are unusual.

      I frequently have dreams where I'm someone else, but I always go lucid when I do, as it's a solid dreamsign. I'm always female, though, but I'll sometimes speak English fluently (with an American accent, and I'm Norwegian, English is my second language).

      I guess it could be down to what you may watch, or how you are feeling maybe

      Most of the times when I dream that I'm someone else I'll be a character from a movie, TV program or computer game That I've recently seen/played. Sometimes it takes me a while to realize that I'm not actually me. (and dreaming in third person is also more likely in these circumstances)

      Actually, a couple nights ago, I had a dream that I was Harry Potter I have had others like this as well. Also, I've been the opposite sex in dreams.
