It was actually how I realized I was trans. Had a super vivid dream of being a girl that felt so real. When I initially woke up I was the happiest I'd ever been until I realized it was just a dream and then I was depressed in bed for a few days. Talked to a trans friend later and they referred me to their therapist and now 7 years later here I am :)

Back when my dreams were more vivid, yes I regularly dreamed of my body matching my gender. I remember waking up as a young kid and being depressed when I realized that it was a dream. So before, during, and this far (15+ years) into my transition I would say yes. My dreams nowadays are way more nebulous than they used to be, but I do occasionally have dreams where I feel more in line with my body, I don't remember specifics though just that I feel far more at peace with it.

Yes, from all the way back in elementary school, long before I knew that trans people existed.

Not that I'm aware of, I don't think I've ever remembered one of my dreams.

Frequently. It was actually one of the signs I ignored for years.
