Cross dressing in dreams can have a deeper meaning that just the traditional one. It may not necessarily be about wearing clothing to change your persona or affiliations with a certain sex. Cross dressing in general, symbolizes the idea and need for change within oneself.
Cross dressing is a conflict between what you are now, and what you want to become. Your dream and your conscious is at a crossroad between what you struggle to make yourself appear as, and what you really are inside. When you dream, your body is telling you that you can’t try and be someone you’re not. You can’t hide or shelter who you truly are, you must embrace it and allow yourself to be content with the way you act and feel. Don’t let the outside appearance affect your appearance on the inside.
Cross dressing in a dream represents the act of making oneself into the opposite sex. Some dreams may use cross-dressing as symbolism to represent that person’s desire to make room for more feminine or masculine aspects of their personality. It can also symbolize taking on different traits or characteristics, such as ex-military personnel dressing up as nurses and vice versa.
In the dream world, men who cross dress may symbolize the feminine qualities that you possess in waking life. They may also symbolize aspects of your personality that you have rejected or denied.
Some people believe that a man who cross dresses in his dream signifies latent homosexual tendencies. In other cases, it can represent his desire to have a change from his typical life.
Lastly for a woman, cross dressing in a dream signifies a desire to be more manly. It is usually indicative of a woman’s need to be more assertive, more independent and less inhibited.
It may also mean that she wants to escape from the confines of her own femininity. It may signify her need to feel more empowered by being successful at work or in the world in general, or it could suggest that she needs to change what she does for work so it suits her better.
In my dream I had long hair, wore women’s outfit and would definitely pass as a real woman. I was bringing home a guy I’ve never met before in my life. He wasn’t good looking but kinda tall, while I was a complete hottie in the dream. We were hitting it off, the guy was nice and I was being very flirty. We met my mom and she didn’t mind at all. We got into my room about to have sex and then he saw my dick. He stopped and said he wasn’t into this. I was kinda sad but wasn’t completely heartbroken. I’m straight in real life though.
In your dream, you appeared as a woman, displaying traits that would conventionally be associated with femininity. You had long hair and were wearing a women’s outfit. This is not an indication of your sexual orientation but a symbol of your unconscious desire to understand and appreciate the qualities often associated with femininity. These could include empathy, nurturing, emotional depth, sensitivity, or creativity.
The presence of a man who was attracted to you in your dream can represent a part of you that is attracted to the feminine qualities you are exhibiting. The fact that he wasn’t conventionally good-looking signifies that these qualities may not be immediately appealing or recognizable to you in your waking life. Yet, you were flirting with him, indicating that you were open and accepting of these aspects.
The interaction with your mother in the dream, who did not mind your cross-dressing, implies acceptance and approval, suggesting that you are comfortable with these aspects of yourself, or you desire the acceptance of your loved ones in your exploration of self.
Dreaming of the man discovering your male parts and rejecting you could signify a fear or apprehension about revealing your full, authentic self, in its complexity and individuality. It’s an acknowledgment of the vulnerability and courage it takes to present your true self to the world. However, you weren’t completely heartbroken, indicating a certain resilience and acceptance within yourself.
Dreaming of cross-dressing could also be a reflection of your subconscious desire to challenge societal norms and expectations. It could be a symbol of your individuality, creativity, and the freedom to express yourself authentically.
In my dream I was dressed in a modest blue dress, hose, and heels. (I cross dress occasionally in private for stress relief) I then had to walk through crowds of people making fun of me including people from my church. I decided to not care about their laughing and walked right through the crowd. They kicked me out of church and I had to keep walking. Eventually I found a group of people who wanted me to stay and didn’t make fun of me.
Dreaming of yourself cross-dressing and walking through a crowd of people making fun of you, including individuals from your church, symbolizes your struggle to express your true identity and the courage you’re displaying in the face of societal judgment. The blue dress could signify tranquility, stability, and emotional depth, while the crowd symbolizes societal pressure or collective norms.
This dream also speaks volumes about your resilience and determination. You decided not to care about the laughter, indicating your readiness to embrace your authentic self, regardless of societal norms or opinions. The act of walking through the crowd represents your journey of self-discovery and acceptance. You are navigating through a world filled with judgment, yet you have chosen to stay true to yourself.
Being expelled from your church signifies a fear of rejection or ostracization due to non-conformity. It indicates the challenges you might be facing in your waking life when you express your true self, especially within social institutions that are deeply rooted in traditional norms and expectations. However, your resilience in the face of such rejection is a powerful testament to your strength and self-belief.
Finding a group of people who accepted you and didn’t make fun of you signifies your desire for a community that embraces and accepts you for who you truly are. It is an affirmation that such accepting communities exist and that you are not alone in your journey.
I am dressed like a woman. I look like a woman, and I am with a man who is treating me like a woman. we seem happy together. I clean, cook, and do all the household stuff. and when he comes home, I am his woman in the bedroom. I have always been straight, but this freaks me out a little. can’t stop thinking about it
You may not be in balance in your wake life. We all have female and male inside of us. Maybe you went through stressful times and forgot about yourself and your wife or girlfriend. She is your equal, and your subconscious tries to tell you that you need to appreciate her more, and be “there” more. Everything depends on your female role models and how your father or a male father figure taught you about women and their role. If you re single, it can be about stress or trauma (trauma does not mean you’ve been abused that way). Male energy is about building and female energy is about filling the man’s construction with life and balance. I hope this helped 🙂 There are quite a few things to consider. You definitely don’t have to be queer to dream such a dream…
I had a dream that I was in bed with my girlfriend and she asked me to trust her. I said yes and she blind folded me and procced to dress me up in all her clothes then did my make-up and we had fun all day with me dressed up as her girlfriend. Then that night made passionent love while I was still cross dressed
Dreaming of being dressed up by your girlfriend while blindfolded signifies a profound exploration of trust, vulnerability, and the joy found in unexpected situations. This dream speaks to the openness and understanding present in your relationship, as well as the dynamics of role reversal and personal expression.
In your dream, being blindfolded represents trust and surrender. It suggests you’re comfortable enough with your girlfriend to let her guide you into unfamiliar experiences. This act of letting go signifies your readiness to explore the unfamiliar or unknown aspects of your self-expression and your relationship.
Cross-dressing in your dream, particularly with your girlfriend’s help, could symbolize breaking societal norms and exploring unconventional expressions of love, trust, and connection. This act could be an indication of your willingness to embrace aspects of yourself that you might usually suppress or ignore in your waking life.
The enjoyment and fun you experience all day while cross-dressed points to a broader acceptance and celebration of diversity in your self-identity. It suggests that you have a flexible personality and are open to embracing different roles in various situations. This flexibility and acceptance also point to a significant level of self-confidence and security in your identity, allowing you to experiment without fear of judgment or rejection.
The passionate love-making at the end of the dream reinforces the deep emotional bond and acceptance between you and your girlfriend. It represents your comfort and satisfaction with your relationship, even in unconventional scenarios.
Ok so in my dream I find myself cross dressed, and then later in the dream I become a woman. I’m with a friend who is a girl and she introduced me to these black guys. She filmed me as I got raped by these black men, but afterwards i started enjoying myself. Irl I was raped by a group of men, but not as a woman, what does this mean? I’m so confused.
On one hand you resent the way women are treated in general, by men. Maybe you’ve come across some pornography (that’s ok, don’t worry) and felt repulsed by it. And maybe you’re just starting to understand or made the realisation that women are also “sexual animals” and these two terms mixed you up. The subconscious is extremely deep and large, it’s like a whole planet that exists inside you
In my dream, I was crossdressed and running errands. shopping for my son. I was wearing a lace top with skinny jeans, and a pair of flats. I was wearing a bra underneath with breast forms. I was also wearing a woman’s trenchcoat, and trying to conceal the top and the shape of the breasts. I’m really not sure what all this means.
I very recently stopped cross dressing because my wife can’t handle it. I keep having urges to do it and constant dreams about it. I feel like I need to cross dress but I know that she would probably leave me if I kept doing it.
I didn’t have a dream about cross dressing however I came a across a script that I wrote in a radio production class I took when I was 9 years old. The protagonist was an old man who was a crossed dresser. I came to this article to see if it could shed some light onto the psychology behind writing something like that at such a young age.
I’m female in my early fifties, and I had a dream that a male friend of mine suddenly appeared to me in a silver-grey skintight sequinned cocktail type dress.
One minute he was wearing his normal everyday men’s clothes, –
then when I turned my back to do something, and then looked again, he was wearing that beautiful body-hugging dress.
Meanwhile, I was confused, stunned, apprehensive, worried, intrigued and kinda fascinated, but pleased for him. I didn’t realise he could be so creative. His facial makeup was exquisite, expertly applied,(it wasn’t thickly applied stage makeup).
I was totally taken aback by how comfortable and at ease he seemed with himself .
I was admiring how fit and athletic, but sensual too that he looked in the dress, & how snug the dress was, – that when I looked at his face again, it just very quickly morphed into that of a very attractive woman’s face.
I was with my ex for 6 years and after breaking up we remained very good friends. He is not very open with his feelings and emotions but when you get to know him he is a very sweet and sensitive guy (very Alfa male tho)
I had a dream he was dressed as a woman and was coming out publicly as gay/drag queen. In my dream I was embarrassed and angry that he had hidden this from me and that everyone knew. There was a big reveal in front of all our friends and family and everyone was very accepting of him except for me.
Please help me make sense of it.
Hi. what happend after this dream ? Did you find alot of Truths in Life ?
You’ve had genuine feelings for him and that’s what the anger comes from…he wasn’t open enough with you. In this instance the “gay/drag queen” is just a symbol between you and him representing your sorrow and questions.
I had a dream last night of a type that I’ve never had before that was vivid enough that I woke up from it. I was dressed as a woman but knew that I was cross-dressing. I was wearing a black sleeveless dress and high heels and I was fairly busty. There was at least an anonymous (real) girl and were in a place with different rooms like a large house. There was a fairly large man there who I felt was in charge of us, and I remember being scared of what he would do if he found out about me…scared as in afraid of physical harm. As the dream progressed, he asked me to come into another room with him and after we entered he came up behind me and started feeling my boobs and going down to other places. That really scared me because I thought for sure he would find out but instead he whispered in my ear something like, “don’t worry, I know who you are and like girls like you.” I remember relaxing in my dream a bit when he said that, then as he led me to a bed I woke up.
Full disclosure: I’m in my mid-40’s, started crossdressing when I was 11 or 12 and periodically through my adult life but for the last 6-9 months I’ve been trying to abstain. Any help in analyzing this would be very appreciated!
So, last night I had an awesome dream. I remember at the start I was wandering around a store and found myself in the women’s section. I was just slowly going up and down the aisles of clothes and feeling extremely envious of the clothing.
All of a sudden, my mom (only it wasn’t) was there and she was angry at me. She took me to this school full of girls and I had no idea what was going on lol. It later became clear after I was enrolled.
All of the “girls” were actually guys. Their ages ranged from like 12 to maybe 25ish? But anyway, my masculin dream self was freaked out. My “mom” left and the person in charge told me the mens clothing is not to be worn here. So I was led to a dressing room I guess and made to stripdown.
For some reason I felt myself begin to relax, and excitement grew from within as I began to imagine all that would happen here. The Principal? came back with a variety of dresses, shoes, skirts, blouses, leggings, everything lol. My masculine shell began to fade a little.
After I was dressed in a mid thigh length skirt and blouse with black tights and cute 2 inch heel I think, I was brought up to a mirror. I looked terrible. I was just some 22 year old masculin guy in cute clothes, and I began to tear up. The Principal said not to worry, as I would be put on a strict diet and weight loss regimen or whatever.
He (she?) took me to class where I got a lot of long looks by the beautiful “girls” there. The days turned to months passing quickly and I made so many great friends. I looked in a bathroom mirror and I was gorgeous. We were all there just checking our make up and everything during lunch hour.
I remember graduating from the school with so many others and we all had strong emotional attachments to each other. I started bawling when I realized that we all lived in different cities and states and we might not ever see eachother again. I remember thinking about the world outside, the “normal” one, and feeling like I wanted to die than go out into a bleak world full of ridicule and hate. I remember dreading that my family would try and make me a “man” again. And then I woke up and here I am…….. Feeling heartbroken that it was all a dream and wanting to go back.
Abso love your dream. Very cool, candid and brave.
Imagine if clothes were not so obviously polemic.
I really appreciate this dream, very enlightening and full of covert encouragement.
Thanks so much.
That reply was meant for Kyle/Kylie.
I’ve had a recurring dream in which I seem to be transitioning to being female. I am a 41 year old cross dresser, but never thought about going farther, In my dream I am working at a place I have never seen and the people seem to be going out of their way to help me be more female, I also seem to have a very pretty friend(also never seen before) who is helping me along. I feel like I am dressed as a female but never see myself, at one pint I am putting on makeup but there is no mirror. When I wake up I feel very peaceful, like a weight is gone.
I am a cross dresser Hetro married for 40 years. Been a CD since I was a child. Openly dress at home and in public when dreaming. I often dream of myself dressed in period costumes at grand balls in my dreams. I feel the long full skirts. Gentlemen ask me to dance.
I have also dreamed of being castrated and being crucified. I suffer sleep apnea, diabetes, epilepsy and congenital heart problems. My dreams are often because of medications. I also have restless leg syndrome. I sleep in a night dress. I am impotent. My dreams are wild and realistic complex and long.
Hard to elaborate but wearing feminine clothing plus sometimes being seduced by men. All of my few friends are female. I hate men as my mother influenced or I could even say taught me?

Well, you certainly know yourself and the causes of the sometimes lucid dreams. There’s no need to change yourself as the idea of cross dressing is fully explored from your childhood to adulthood.
It is actually okay to be friends with men unless they just can’t accept who you are. Life is too short to hate half of the world’s population.
