Gender Bender dreams.
Gender flipping, This is a curious topic for me of course because I actually gender flipped IRL (I'm a Male to Female transsexual) alittle FYI
I transitioned over 4 years ago I live full time as a female now and I've been taking female hormones for over 3 years, as such my body is highly feminized, Breasts hips ect, I also have retrained my voice I'm pretty passable these days and except for those I tell nobody knows

I've not had Genital surgery yet I consider myself female in mind completely but I acknowledge that my body is a "Hybrid" an Incomplete girl of sorts.
Gender "flip" dreams of course aren't too uncommon for me given my story in about 70% of my dreams my body is as it is now... a "half-girl" looking at me everyone thinks "Female" but I do have a penis. (This often leads to some hilarious naked in public dreams)
In about 20% of my dreams I'm fully female the context for why this happens varies. Either I was always that way or I was turned into one at some point. (during the course of the dream) usually I'm pretty happy about it or surprised then happy, but there has been a couple of nightmares where this happened then the problem wasn't so much with me begin fully female but rather what a DC did to me while I was female.
It's rare for me to be male in my dreams but it dose happen the only instances I know are nightmares where I'm involuntarily transformed It's horror usually reliving the awful horrors and abuse of my teenage years or some hypothetical Where my male half reasserts itself in some vindictive manner (Male pattern baldness voice getting deeper my facial hair+body hair grows back ) Always horrifying humiliating and degrading I've never to my knowledge had a positive dream with this as a theme given how dark & twisted my experiences are it's difficult to see how I could.
I should note that when threatened with this as a real risk IRL due to medicine problems or threats from family/doctors I often have an emotional meltdown ending in me mutilating my genitals or harming myself. (I've attempted to cut off my testicles twice while I won't be too graphic... but I got pretty far along in the process)
So this is the question, Obviously me begin gender flipped isn't uncommon but I'm clearly going to be an oddball. I'm curious to hear from others both transgendered or "Normal" Men/Women, about your experiences in begin flipped around in the dream world? :)
I'm especially interested to hear how you felt about begin the opposite sex. Happy? Scared? Horrified? indifferent? Or have you never had one?

Straight male here. As far as I can remember, I've never been female in a dream, but that's probably because I've never really thought about it before in my waking life. I can recall one dream where I was making out with a guy, which was surprisingly enjoyable.

I've had several dreams where I'm a guy, but it doesn't make much of a difference, it's just part of the story. I do remember one dream though where I had a FA and I had somehow turned into a guy, and I was like "Dude! I'm a guy! This is %$#% crazy!" and the first thing I did was run to my desk and measure my dick (it was 7 inches flaccid). So I guess I was excited, but just because of the novelty and not because I was feeling like I matched my sex or anything.
I've never had any sex or make-out dreams where I was a guy though. I like guys better, but I do find girls very attractive. Hope all of this wasn't too much info :P

I've had a dream were I was a female once. I woke up in the dream and felt an emptiness in my pants, like they were too big so I checked what I was wearing and noticed the lack of manhood in my pants.
Then I rushed to a mirror and stood face to face with this girl, it kind of looked like my sister but I could clearly see it was me, only female.
Did some exploring which was fun. Never had it happen to me since.
-
I had a dream where I switched bodies with a girl I knew. Apparently we used some kind of magic crystal to do it. Was still male in my mind and I believe we could have changed back when we wanted to. Obviously my dream went straight to the girls locker room!
Wasn't lucid though :'(

I've had dreams where I was wearing female clothes, but still physically male. I actually do have some "issues" in that department.
-
I have had various dreams where I was female. I am a straight male, but have previously wished for an alternate reality where I was female.
When I learned of lucid dreaming I got excited that this would be a possibility to fulfill my wishes. I am not interested in guys, and I do not want a real gender change, but the idea of experiencing both male and female life is exciting.
One day I just randomly noticed I was female in a lucid. Near the beginning of the dream I just knew something was not right. I was a younger female version of myself. I made myself older, but never did anything bad.
Since then I have had various lucid and non-lucid dreams where I was the opposite gender. I have only messed with genitals once, and it was in a non-lucid.
I suppose I could also note that I had a dream once where a guy tried to kiss me(I was male in this dream), but I pushed him away, next thing I knew he was dead ._.
The gender bender dreams are not extremely common, but they happen probably about 2-3 times a month or so.
-
Yeah,more than once I've been a guy. Usually i end up kissing a girl since the stereotypical guy likes girls.. Af then i realize I'm the wrong gender, and it gets weird, lol.
-
Oh yeah... I've only had one dream before where I was a girl... I had the female part rather than my male part.
Thanks, Brain. -_-

I dream very often that I am actually a male, but I never experimented with anything nor had any strange situations, I just enjoyed having a different point of view and different structure. On one or two occassions while lucid I even swapped my own gender on purpose to fool a DC.

Usually the gender flip is part of the story, I'm playing a character so it doesn't seem strange that I'm male when in RL I'm female. Though recently I started having gender-flip sex dreams. Either I'm fully male or I'm female with male parts. I don't really understand why, I've never wanted to be/felt like a man, and I'm not attracted to women (I'm barely attracted to men). The only thing I can think of is that being empathic and living with a man has started to wear away at walls in my subconscious making gender flips more common. I don't know. It sounds nuts when I say it that way.

I'm often male in my dreams as many other has said because it fits the "story" For me I think this has a lot to do with playing video games, in them you're often controlling a man. It probably also has something to do with me always having had the feeling that my personality would fit better if i wasn't a girl even though I’m comfortable in my body.
In non lucid dreams it feels pretty good to be a man, I more often end up having roles/personalities I enjoy. When I'm lucid though it feels pretty weird, my body often starts to morph into something in between which unsettles me. It's also a bit weird I think that irl I prefer men over women but the opposite in my dreams regardless of what gender I have.
I have a quite long DJ about me being a guy liking a girl and undressing as a guy, its pretty silly though.

Before I knew which gender I was, I thought I was female, and when I noticed I was different there was a sort of split between my male and female self, where my spirit stayed female, and my body became too male for comfort. I sometimes wish I had the body to pull off being TG, but I've adapted by honing the skill of astral projection since when projecting through spirit it is natural for me to appear female. When I fully evolved to be able to do this (during a heroic dose of terrance mckenna's favorite spice) I believe that triggered my building schizophrenia because I didn't want the hallucination to not be real, and worked my mind to psychosis just trying to hold on to it. Sometimes I think if I fed the projection enough of the right energy I could will my body to make the shift, since I've noticed slight physiological changes when I spend enough time doing it.
After I got out of the psych ward I was having semi-lucid dreams of coming home as a female, and it felt glorious.
