Gender Change Dreams

[abicus]

Does any one have dreams in which they were either an different person or gender? I had a dream that lasted for an abnormal length in which i went to my friends house and over the course of a few hours turned into a woman. I couldn't go home since no one but my friend and his sister who saw it happen would believe me. The dream seemed so real. After the initial shock it felt good to be female strangely enough. I have never had waking feelings or thoughts about being a woman. What does this mean? I don't know whether or not what i felt is at all accurate. The dream was so vivid that i questioned whether or not it was a dream. the dream literally felt like real life no differences except the obvious (me being a woman) although towards the end of the dream realized it was a dream. In the dream i go over to my friend John’s house. We play xbox the beginning of the dream has the feel of an average dream. During the first part of the dream I spent much time hanging out with my friend talking. Then my friends sister enters the room and sits next to us and talks to us for a few minuets. The beginning of the dream I can't recall the dialogue until my friends sis Julie comes back and stares at me and laughs she says "What... whats wrong with you?" I responded with "what are you talking about." She told me to look in a mirror and I did. I no longer looked like myself slightly different and smaller. My clothes fit loosely. I didn't know what was going on. Due to lack of control early in the dream I went back to playing xbox. I wanted to stand up and freak out but couldn't then suddenly it was as if i had forgotten. A few min passed and I realized I was changing more. A few more min passed and Julie n John came back and I looked at they re startled faces. I got up and looked in the mirror. I was now a completely different person. During this I had no control of where I was looking. I had a woman's body, figure, face, and as I opened my mouth to scream a new voice. I had at this point gained complete control of my actions. I talked with them about what I was gonna do and where I would go. I was at first complete and utterly devastated and thought my life was surely over. The day went on as I freaked out and knew I couldn't go home. Julie told her mom when she got home that I was her friend from school and asked if I could stay over the week. She said yes so i had a place to stay now. I couldn't go to work as a different person. I was afraid. I cried as if not in control of my emotions. Julie went out of her way to comfort me. She had me go to the bathroom with her and she tried to teach me how to put on make up; making jokes and talking to me. I was still in my clothes baggy clothes from before I changed. I took a shower and I saw my new body naked and I was very attractive. I felt my new soft skin and noticed I needed a shit load of soap for my long hair on my head. I got out of the shower and she gave me a pair of her jeans, underwear, and a shirt. The clothes felt strange wearing a thong and jeans that clinged tight to my body. She helped do my hair to keep it out of my face while telling me that she was sure I would go back to normal I was still sad and afraid and her words and company were comforting. That night in the dream I started to think about how to live on in my new situation. my friend and his sister tried there best to comfort me. I had come to terms a little with my fate and Julie started to get me up to speed I guess. She explained things like clothing and things about my new anatomy. I went to bed in the dream and woke up in the dream the next day and was still a girl. Strangely I felt good despite what had happened I was comfortable with my self. The three of use walked to a nearby walmart to buy me clothes. I had no idea what to get or wear but Julie helped me. The three of us played rock band and talked and decided to go get food. Everything I did felt different but strangely good and new. I was comfortable in my new clothes wearing tight jeans and a blouse. I felt attractive. I started to just hang out with Julie and John. My dream went on for two more days I experienced things that I noticed to be or feel considerably different as a girl like riding a bike and playing sports noticing I wasn’t as strong as I used to be. Also my emotions came more freely. It was strange. I was for the most part completely in control of my self except how accepting I was of being female. I don't have any desire or have never contemplated being a woman in life, but all the feelings I felt were good and despite everything I enjoyed it. Its kind of embarrassing. I'm not gay and am very comfortable with my sexuality but it was such an experience. I don't know why it happened it kinda freaked me out that i was as content as i was. I'm an open minded person but I had never had such a real dream. and it was the first dream I had ever had were I gained complete control of my actions. This was my first lucid like dream as towards the end of the dream on its last day I realized I was dreaming but I can't explain how, and awhile later I woke up

That was an amazing dream story. Thanks for sharing. I wish that I could have dreams so detailed. It sounds like your mind just decided, for whatever reason, to create its best simulation of the experience of being female. Since no one can really experience being both genders in real life, whether or not your dream was accurate can't really be judged. I've had many dreams in which I'm a male. But I have no memories of dreams which involve transforming into a male, and that transformation being a part of the dream. When it happens, I just enter the dream as a character that happens to be male. It seems my mind makes up characters, both male and female (usually female lately). There is nothing to be embarrassed about. It's true that, if you mention the dream to a lot of (immature) people, they will likely make fun of you for it, calling you gay, etc. But if you're honest and think about it there's really nothing wrong with you for it. I have no problem believing that you're straight and certain of your sexuality. Your mind just happened to decide to simulate what it might be like to be female.

Thank you it was an amazing experience. Looking back it would be cool to live an alternate life while dreaming that one could remain aware of

I hope to have a dream this Vivid one day, hopefully be Lucid in it as well. Btw what did you think of the YouTube videos?

[abicus]

Yes thank you very much. Had my first dream since starting grave shift

[ooflendoodle]

Just your minds way of making you think of something you've never thought of before, to be honest I think everyone has dreams like this, most probably forget them, and most that don't forget don't say anything.

[abicus]

I think you may be right. I agree people should be more open and express all types of experiences and not be embarrassed.

[AgentSmith]

I don't think its embarrassing. Dreams have tendencies to go off on weird tangents, and your mind tends to just run with it. Mirrors are especially tricky. When I'm not lucid, I always recognize my reflection, but when I wake up I'll realize its was extremely different. Not sure if I've ever been opposite sex, but its possible. The fact that you made the best of it reflects a positive attitude rather than any desire to be a woman IMO...

Mirrors are especially tricky. When I'm not lucid, I always recognize my reflection, but when I wake up I'll realize its was extremely different. I saw my self when looked down at my body and it was different. It was an amazing experience. Honestly i would love to have all my dreams as a female. My thinking is why not, I mean i am a man in waking life and this is new and different. I am not embarrassed about it now. The feelings and emotions were so much better i enjoyed it. Like i got to live a separate life.

[quiktaco]

I am different dream characters all the time. I'd say at lest 25 to 50% of my dreams I'm a different character. Never lucid as a different character though :/ They will be men, women, kids, etc. I really wouldn't think much of it. Enjoy the experience since its so different from real life.

[abicus]

I did enjoy the experience. I originally posted this with the intent of other people posting theirs as well. Its a subject that people don't talk about much. I never really shared dreams with other people. So I have nothing to base what is normal and what's way out their.

I stayed at a friends house last night, Had a decently long dream in the morning, however it wasn't super vivid, nor was it lucid unfortunately At some point during the plot of the dream, there were hundreds of people I know camping out and what I now believe was my old primary school. Apparently there was a murderer on the loose, who's only victims were female. It caused a state of panic amongst everyone, and I vaguely remember thinking something along the lines of 'Oh no, I'm not safe!' - which is strange, seeing as I am most certainly NOT a female. Not long after in the dream I looked in a mirror, and to my not-surprised-ness, I was a (rather attractive) girl. I had all the lady parts to match, and yeah, it didn't feel as strange as you would think. It just felt the same. Anyway the dream ended up progressing into some crazy thing that is so convoluted and stupid that I can't be bothered typing out, and it isn't really relative to the thread, but there you go. Someone else who has experienced a similar thing in a dream to you.

[SpaceCowboyDave]

Very strange indeed.

[abicus]

I have had other dreams as the opposite gender but never one so vivid. Also I have had several dreams in which my spirit jumped into the body of a girl to save her from danger.

[abicus]

Any one have any experiences like these

One of the most deepest desires of my heart is to become a woman. For religious reasons I can't, but it will always exist. I think that the only way I'll be able to satisfy this yearning is through lucid means. Two of my main goals are to: A. Become a woman. B. Begin a new life and go at it with a RPG sense. If I were to combine both of these and start this new life as a woman, I think that side of me would be happy to the extent I'm possibly capable of achieving. I also recall one dream quite a while back where I switched bodies with this girl I used to go to school with. The details elude me, however, I can remember it was on some kind of plane or air-station. I've also had a few lucids where I've attempted to turn my body more feminine, but I haven't had that great of a success with it yet. I reckon once I find my dream guide I'll be able to cross that barrier.

Happened to me twice. Last one I got lucid. I haven't write it in my online DJ yet but I was 13, that character from DR.House. The funny thing is that she has a medical condition (Huntington's disease I think), and in the dream I felt like I was dying. It really came to my head (omg my disease caught me even though Huntington doesn't work like that). At some point I tol Dr. House (who was watching me) something like "Sleep paralysis has been implemented". And then I became lucid

I've had a few dreams where I was a woman. it was pretty odd.

[saltyseedog]

I've been a girl in dreams lots of times

[Original Poster]

I'm about half and half. I often change characters in dreams to the person I am observing, so if it's a woman, I am a woman.

I once had a dream where this female DC accosted me and demanded sex. I refused, since, well, I'm not gay. She then told me that I could change myself into a man and we could do it that way. I was lucid in this dream so I actually considered it for a second, but I decided against it. There was one other nonlucid dream I had where I was a male. I was some kind of angel (which is odd since I'm agnostic). I was visiting this kingdom and as part of my job, doing healing and generally acting as an envoy. There was a little girl who was I think adopted by the royal family, but they were abusing her. I ended up throwing away the trust of the people and their leaders by taking the girl in the end. It was kind of a sad dream.

After all lucidity is the ultimate platform for one to try the otherwise impractical or the impossible

[abicus]

Well I take back what I said. Don't wanna be a man who gets involved with some pushy stalker bitch. That would just become a nightmare. Lol

Had another dream in which I was a woman. I post dreams no matter what so please no hate/disrespect. I was in a Gym and my wife is there and i see her in the locker/shower room standing there worried. She looks at me with troubled eyes asking for my support. I go over to her and she is acting like something is wrong by her body language.She has a shirt on and a towel wrapped around her waist. She looks down at her self and then up at me. She slightly opens the towel and says "I don't know what happened." I look down to see that she has a penis. She didn't seem worried about having different parts down there but was worried that some one would see her like that. Her clothes were gone, we couldn't find them. I reach for my clothes I had with me and gave her my pants. The pants I gave her where women's pants. As she put them on i put on the gym shorts I had which were also female. The kind of clingy black knee length work out shorts. I remember thinking "Im in a woman's locker room and none of the women had freaked out like omg there is a man in here." I was a woman and my wife loved me and seemed to not see that there was a difference with me. Strange I walked with her out of the locker room towards the exit. On the way she fell in the pool and when she got out her pants fell off. I helped her out and covered her as she put them back on. When we got to the parking lot she embraced and kissed me. It was a strange dream I was only concerned with her situation and her feelings. As any spouse should. But it was a strange experience as I had no control and wasn't worried or freaked/weirded out by her man junk. I was just concerned that she felt all right!
