In real life I am a man. In my dream, I am going to the gym in daytime, I walk to the car outside my home. My wife notices I have one of her old tops on. I catch a glimpse in the car window and see I am. The top is fitting well though (I am bigger than my wife) and my fatty chest that bothers me in real life (as I worry it looks feminine) actually looks like real breasts in the top. My top half looks definately like a woman’s (not see my face though). I dash inside in shame, trying to hide from being seen and then notice again my waist is much thinner and hourglass like my wife’s when she wore that top years ago. When I get inside body is now more voluptuous, my breasts are larger, my hips are rounded and thighs are fuller. I now am wearing some sort of woman’s cropped sweat gym top and I think the bottoms don’t look right and so they change to yoga leggings and I then admire them, pointing out my toes and liking my legs. I like and enjoy my body and the shame is less or even gone. I don’t see my face at all in the dream but know the character is me. I think I have long hair. It feels nice but I don’t want it too. I then awake. I have had dreams similar with transformation before and always awake when the transformation feels nice or I like it as this is distressing.
This dream may symbolize a desire for self-acceptance and self-love. The transformation in your dream, where you become more feminine in appearance, could represent your subconscious desire to embrace and accept aspects of yourself that you may have been struggling with or feeling insecure about. The fact that you initially feel shame but then start to like and enjoy your transformed body suggests a shift towards self-acceptance and appreciation for your physical form.
The gym setting could symbolize a place of self-improvement and transformation, both physically and mentally. The presence of your wife's old top may represent influences from your past or aspects of your relationship with your wife that are affecting how you see yourself. The changing of your outfit to yoga leggings could signify a desire for comfort and flexibility in your own skin.
Overall, this dream may be urging you to embrace your true self, including parts of yourself that you may have been struggling to accept. It could also signify a journey towards loving and appreciating your body just the way it is.
