Men dream as male character, women dream as female character how do trans persons dream then? Trans men as men?? Trans women as women??

    I think asking for trans people is wrong because they genuinely are (in a sense of their core identity and perception of themselves) the gender they transitioned too.

    But a different question would be for example, for someone who got disbled later in life, are you disabled in your dreams?

    The answer (atleast for me) in that case, is mostly I am, but not always, and sometimes less severely so than in real life.

      I often am even more disabled in my dreams than I am in real life, as my dreams play to my fears of being entirely unable to walk (I have muscle weakness and fatigue, but I can still walk almost all of the time) or to wake up (also have narcolepsy and sometimes can’t wake up).

      I can only give an answer from someone who was always disabled “I am disabled in my dreams, but at the level I was in my 20s (so capable of walking unaided and stuff) despite steadily becoming worse”
