Dreams of time travel to the end of humanity

I dream about speculative  fiction a lot. Last night it was contemporary supernatural melodrama (Monsterhearts, True Blood, White Wolf) and near-future technothriller/war (Metal Gear, Shiro Masamune, Harsh Realm).

I notice that the POV in my dreams changes gender and race depending on the media I've consumed relative to the genre of my dream. Since most of my dreams are science-fiction, some are fantasy, and most are informed by television foremost, movies, storygames, video games, comics and text/audio books (plus some thought-exercises), this means that the POV is often but decreasingly male and almost always white.

And I see this change when my media supply changes.

This says some interesting things about the subconscious effects of media regarding who's story is worth telling.

It also says some things about the potential for storygames as a tv-replacement.


 

Side note:

My cissexed/transsexed-status is often the default until I think about it or notice my junk at which point it usually incorporates trans, either because "well, I'm a dude and here's what's in my pants, so I guess I'm FtM" or as above but "maybe people just assume I'm a dude, so it's classical or redux tg butch." or "Wow, crap, that thing again. MtF I guess." or "Wait. Vag. Presenting female. This seems really good somehow, oh shit, thankyouthankyouthankyou."
