Are you a woman in your dreams?

I agree with the pp about sex dreams. Never quite there...

I’m me in my dreams, so therefore female, but it’s never particularly relevant (unless it’s a sex dream, I’m definitely female in those). I have really bad nightmares at times, involving threat, peril to vulnerable people (children or, weirdly, kittens) and violence, and I know I’m getting better when I start fighting back in them. I’m still me, though, whether fighting or fleeing.

Some people have all the luck

I think they can be quite annoying

Yes, you wake-up slightly unfulfilled though. Frustrating.

God I've never even asked myself this :I'm always a woman in my dreams, never been anything else.

I don’t remember ever having a dream where I wasn’t me.

Sometimes, I'm not exactly male, but I have a penis, which I wield to the joy of all concerned.

Years ago, I dreamed that I was an elephant, caparisoned and dignified. It was a lovely dream and I wish it would happen again.

I'm always me- but sometimes a version of me with magical witchy powers 🧙‍♀️

I'm always myself in dreams, but sometimes I'm a male version of myself. Still me, but a dude. He's a bit of an arsehole really, and I never really enjoy the dreams where I'm him but it's interesting to think about!

Usually I am myself and a woman, but I have been a man or ungendered.

I have also had dreams where I was thinking of myself as a woman but had a penis and was aware all women had penises.

And that was long before I knew anything about the GRA/ self id etc so it wasn't to do with That!

I am always me in my dreams and therefore female. I nearly always experience and remember my dreams vividly and I dream in colour. But I'm usually 10-20 years younger. Which has led to genuine confusion and disappointment when waking up. Not so much now but when I was in my 20s (I'm in my late 30s). I attach less age to myself in my dreams, but the appearance is similar.

I'm always a woman in my dreams, always me.

Except one time, when I was going through a stressful time at Uni, a very vivid dream that was like a movie that I was watching. I was sort of the male in that one, and kinda like Rod Stewart T'was very strange.

@KittTheCar Ooh I wonder if that was my thread! Am chuffed if so. I started one recently in AIBU asking whether everyone has a narrative running constantly in their head (someone told me not everyone does and I didn't believe them) and it turned into a really interesting discussion about how different people think, with people describing what the internal landscape of their mind is like.

I only have one dream I ever remember and I'm always female in it. I. Always a female ninja brought from the past to save the future. It's really violent and I have no idea why I keep dreaming it. I'm really quiet and shy in real life. I never seem to rem ember my other dreams.

My dreams are usually about me as me, so about a woman.

What Lang said ^

I had a dream where I was a bounty hunter in space which was particularly weird, I was a woman. Then I was chased by men in radiation suits... Ended up being poisoned in that one. I usually dream about not being able to go to the loo because it's broken, which is usually because I need to actually wake up and have a wee rather than wet myself!!

I don't have a sex or body or gender in my dreams. Apart from anxiety dreams when I am recognisably female.

I have been a woman in my dreams.

But I have also been Idris Elba and a particularly yappy Jack Russel so I don’t read too much into it

It's really interesting how other posters have dreamt themselves as another person/animal/thing - I'm always some version of myself(usually more badass and less depressed, but still), it's just everything else that gets weird and flippy-floppy in my dreams.

I'm always me. A woman. My dreams are all in a dream version of this world, the dream me has a job, a house, memories. Same name, same body.

I think they can be quite annoying. I was obviously having a really good time - and I can't actually remember any of it.

I am always a boyish female , like my g/f but one nightmare my mother made me wear a horrible brides dress her constant fantasy !

she was taking me to get married to some arsehole man ! and it was all arranged !! help !!! my mouth wouldn't work

thankfully I woke up and snuggled up to my G/F

I have been both male and female in the same dream, I seem to play each character and I'm also an observer at the same time....very weird.

I am usually a version of me in my dreams (female) but occasionally I'm a completely different person and male was even Spiderman once

I have a lot of weird dreams. I regularly change my point of view during dreams and sometimes that results in switching between sexes and sometimes the impossible person who is fully both or neither somehow. Other people in my dreams regularly change who they are or what they look like changes entirely but I somehow know they're the same person even when they're suddenly a tiger or some other weird stuff (when my eldest was a newborn, I kept having dreams of him turning into a tiger cub. I blame lack of sleep and maybe him nursing and biting while I slept or something).

The only exceptions I've noticed so far are when my parents are in my dreams, they pretty much stay the same and I stay in my point of view as typical female me in those dreams though my age might change. Those tend to be my most violent/painful dreams, they were both violent in real life but they're way more violent in my nightmares. Other people I know, even my spouse and kids, all dream shapeshifters.
