Trans folks of Lemmy: Did you ever dream having a body which doesn't match your AGAB?

2026-05-05 17:41 UTC

Actually it’s not really a single question. I wouldn’t even say I ever had a dream in which I knew what biological sex I have. But if you have dreams in which you know your biological sex: Did you ever have a dream where you body matched your gender identity? If so: While still being an egg? Before your transition? After it?

    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.

    Thank you <3 like anyone I have good and bad days, but there are a lot more good days than there were before :)

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