THE DREAM Okay, I'm hoping you could maybe help me out. I am a 17 year old male, but for some reason, every single dream I've ever had (that I can remember) I've been female in the dream.My appearance will change, sometimes a short haired brunette, sometimes a long haired blonde. I'm not sure why I dream of this? AND the dream will resemble normal everyday life. Going to school, maybe having a boyfriend, maybe I'll have a scary dream that someone breaks into my house etc. , but I'm always female? Why?My dreams are also ALWAYS black and white. There is never colour unless its something significant, like blood or urine?- now I must be honest (not sure if this relates to the female dreaming) but I do feel I am transgenic. A girl, stuck in the body of a male. Could this be the reason?

GUESSWORK The dreamer had recently been feeling depression and had been questioning his relationship, though he knows he truly loves this girl.

The "Guesswork" stage of interpreting a dream involves spotting issues likely to cause dreams. For help with this click here

ASSOCIATIONS AND SYMBOLIC MEANINGS
1. OTHER GIRL. In guesswork the dreamer was doubting his relationship with his ex. Any dream which features other women could clearly be about this subject. The fact that he is thinking about other women symbolises this doubt. But in the dream he is staying loyal. He also feels attracted to this women even though she is not attractive to him in real life. That's the dreams mind of saying "I seem attracted to other women even though I know that my girlfriend is right for me."
2. SCREAMING. The screaming represents his own inner torment and depression. The fact that the symbols or depression and his relationship with his girlfriend appear together suggest that he is thinking about how the two combine. In real life he is realising that his depression is linked to something other than his girlfriend and that he needs to stay faithful to her.
3. FEEL TRAPPED. This reaffirms the belief that this dream is about depression. If you feel depressed then you feel trapped in yourself.

DREAM ANALYSIS In guesswork the dream was linked to the dreamers own depression. The dream deals with the following themes
- knowing that he loves his girlfriend
- staying faithful
- desperate feelings
If you weave together the different themes you find that they could capture these thoughts -"I know I love my girlfriend but I have still been doubting my relationship. I know that the problems I have right now are because I am depressed."
