Did you ever have that dream, where you are inexplicably the opposite sex, and you start a new life and everything’s great, and then you wake up to crushing disappointment and it feels like your life is empty?
And then you realize you’re trans, and everything makes sense.
And then you start to transition, and start a new life and everything’s great, and …
Oh god am I about to wake up as my AGAB again? This can’t be happening to me; I knew I’d never get to be happy …
Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’m not imagining it. It’s not just me that sometimes feels like this, right?
Had my own That Dream recently.
You know how in the movie Interstellar, there is the tesseract, an endless matrix grid showing moments in space and time?
In the dream I am in my own Trans Tesseract, seeing images of myself at future points in time going through the various stages of transition.
Woke up and my first thought was, “What a very normal cishet dream. I think I need to check some things…”
Haha, yes, I’ve had a similar one where I meet my future self. There are several comics along those lines so I guess it’s fairly common. I remember feeling so much relief to know I finally manage to become a girl. And then dismissed it all as a meaningless dream.
