I know, I know...it's that time of the year when no one wants to have serious discussions; we'd all like to talk about the panties and leggings and dresses and mascara that we'd like for Christmas, New Year's resolutions, etc. But I came across a new term and a whole new facet of crossdressing and transgenderism this morning -- one that I somehow have never heard of. It's called crossdreaming, and it's essentially a more wholesome interpretation of the theory underscoring the term autogynephilia.
Crossdreaming is not about dreaming about crossdressing. And it's not about dreaming of what color of stockings might be waiting under the tree for you (although I will confess that I'm hoping for some new patterned black stockings). So what is it? Here's what I found at the website www.crossdreamers.com: "The term crossdreaming was coined to describe the phenomenon that some people get aroused by the idea of being the "other sex" (relative to their assigned sex at birth)."
There's far, far too much information at this website, and all of its periphery sites, to attempt to describe it one post on this forum. Suffice it to say that some of it appears to explain so many things in my own life. Not all, but many. It's really a worthwhile visit. But a warning: be prepared to stay for a while, because there's a lot of info there.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the website is the advice offered on how to successfully incorporate your crossdreaming desires into the context of your own marriage. It's pretty fascinating stuff.
If anyone reads this and has the time and the courage to explore this site (www.crossdreamers.com) and the theories of crossdreaming, or if you're already familiar with the term and this particular train of thought regarding of transgenderism, I'd really like to know what you think...please leave them on this thread.
