Strapon Dreamer Charlie-----------------s Dream 13 Access

In this reading, Charlie’s dream is not about sex but about ontology.

In waking life, Charlie may experience constraints — of body, of social role, of expectation. In Dream 13, those constraints are off. The strapon does not “belong” to any gender; it belongs to the act. In this reading, Charlie’s dream is not about
