No, that is different!
"Anima / Animus
These are terms that Jung created to describe the opposite-gender self that lives within each of us.
The anima is the feminine component dwelling inside a male's unconscious mind. The animus is the masculine component dwelling inside a female's unconscious mind.
In dreams, this opposite-gender self can be a helper or an antagonist. These dream figures can appear as translations of persons we meet with whom we have a tremendous sense of romantic love or platonic camaraderie. One of Jung's interpreters held that the anima/animus character was only understandable to those who have known true love.
However, our opposite-gender selves may reveal to us negativity in ourselves or negativity we perceive in dealings with the opposite sex. It is important to note that sometimes, when you dream about a person of the opposite sex, they may be representing your own inner self. Carefully consider all persons of the opposite sex in your dreams as a possible appearance of your own anima / animus."
"Animals
To see animals in your dream, represents your own physical characteristic, primitive desires, and sexual nature, depending on the qualities of the particular animal. Animals symbolizes the untamed and uncivilized aspects of yourself. Thus, to dream that you are fighting with an animal signifies a hidden part of yourself that you are trying to reject and push back into your subconscious. Refer to the specific animal in your dream.
To dream that animals can talk, represents superior knowledge. Its message is often some form of wisdom. Alternatively, a talking animal denotes your potential to be all that you can be.
To dream that you are saving the life of an animal, suggests that you are successfully acknowledging certain emotions and characteristics represented by the animal. The dream may also stem from feelings of inadequacy or being overwhelmed."

I have pretty crazy dreams. I've had dreams where I've been the opposite gender but not an animal.

Not like that. But I've had some, where I'm someone else, in another time. Maybe when you're gone, someone special to you, will name a pet after you.. But the translation of any one dream, doesn't always have anything to do with, what the dream seems to be. I heard that, once

If you believe in past-lives, you might have been an animal or person of the other gender in some of them.

Uhm, yes.
One time I dreamt I was this girl character from a video game
Another time I dreamt I was a dog
Does George Bush count as an animal? If so, then I dreamt I was him...I couldn't go back to sleep for a whole week after that...

I once had a dream where I was different characters (all human), as well as an independent observer that nobody interacted with - all in the same dream.

No. I am usually too tired to dream once I get to bed and if i do dream it damn sure isn't about being a woman.

My dreams are pretty mundane. Nothing too exciting. I have an interesting theory on dreams too, but thats for another day.

Nope! You must have been an Animal in your past life! I have dreams of War. I must have been in a War in my past life!
