I'm not gonna bring up my nightmares, because that's a whole other can of worms. But last night I had a very vivid dream about a person named Charlie and some of their friends. Charlie was living as a cis boy, and lived with a bunch of other kids in a barn (no idea why.) Suddenly, a storm hit, and a bunch of the kids began to develop strange and unusual properties, the one I really remember being Charlie's. A woman came into the barn after the storm to check on Charlie, then screamed when she saw the kid squirming on the floor. Suddenly, Charlie came up and looked basically like a girl. Hair-wise, face-wise, everything. The woman explained to the crazed kid that Carly, the name of the girl who had taken Charlie's place, was Charlie's "soul twin." Charlie and Carly had fairly different personalities, Charlie being introverted and quiet and Carly being more outgoing and sweet. Charlie/Carly switched between forms in response to different scenarios. Carly was usually the one to respond to dangerous/traumatic ones. Charlie/Carly identified as genderfluid and used he/him and she/her when in each respective form.
This dream was completely wack, but I actually think that Charlie/Carly is a pretty interesting character. It was also one of my only dreams that actually had a story line, so I think I might write about him/her. I just worry that by writing about him/her I'll offend genderfluid people, or something, because they don't "change forms" or have different personas.
