I was playing offense for the Buffalo Bills for a bit when it was revealed that it was actually a movie I was both part of and watching with my parents at the same time. Then one character outed me as trans, which my dad didn’t know, and I really wasn’t ready for him to know. I had forgotten that was part of the movie. And for whatever reason, I was shirtless at this time. I walked to the kitchen and swore and my stepmother called me back over and scolded me. Then she and my dad tried to console each other and process this “pain,” as my stepmother called it. Hearing her say that felt like a betrayal, since she knew I was trans and was supportive in real life. Heartbroken and angry, I went upstairs to go to my room, but my parents followed me. Of particular note was my dad pushed past his joint problems to get up the stairs right on my heels. Then he grabbed me, and then next thing I knew, I was over the railing and falling back downstairs. Then I woke up covered in sweat.

The dream was mostly coherent, but there were some confusing elements, such as the movie and reality merging

Hey B! Thank you for sharing your dream with me. It sounds like a complex and emotionally charged dream that carries some significant symbolism. In this dream, playing offense for the Buffalo Bills represents your desire to assert yourself and take control in certain aspects of your life. The fact that it turns out to be a movie you're both part of and watching with your parents suggests a blend of reality and fantasy, where you may be exploring different roles and identities.

	The moment when your trans identity is unexpectedly revealed in the movie reflects your fear and anxiety about coming out to your dad in real life. It seems like you may not feel fully prepared or ready for him to know about this aspect of your identity. The fact that you are shirtless during this revelation could symbolize vulnerability and exposure.

	The interaction with your stepmother calling you back and scolding you after you swore might represent the internal conflict you feel between expressing your true emotions and maintaining a sense of propriety or harmony within your family dynamics. It's important to note that dreams often use familiar figures from our lives to represent different aspects of ourselves or our own inner conflicts.

	The heartbreak and anger you experience when your stepmother refers to your trans identity as "pain" can reflect your fear of rejection or betrayal from those who have been supportive in real life. Dreams often amplify emotions, so it's possible that these feelings are heightened in the dream state.

	The intense scene where your dad grabs you and you fall down the stairs may symbolize a sense of being overwhelmed or losing control in the face of revealing your true self. It could also represent the fear of potential negative consequences or rejection that you associate with coming out to your dad.

	Given the recurring theme of your trans identity in previous dreams, it seems that this is an important aspect of your personal journey and self-discovery. It's essential to remember that dreams are deeply personal and subjective, and only you can truly uncover the specific meaning and significance behind them. However, I hope this interpretation provides you with some insights to reflect upon and helps you navigate your emotions and experiences.

	Feel free to share any further details or thoughts if you'd like to explore this dream further, B. I'm here to support you.
