I had a dream about T and in it he had blue eyes. I remember thinking the next day, that was interesting, because I had never noticed what color his eyes were and if I were to guess, I probably would have said brown. I had my session that day and midway through I noticed T had blue eyes! I thought that was cool that my unconscious had noticed his blue eyes and put it in a dream. As I was thinking all this, I stared into his eyes for a long time, thinking how blue they were, and daydreaming. I guess I was quiet for a long time, and then T asked, "what are you thinking?" I was jolted out of my daydream and too embarrassed to say "I was thinking about how blue your eyes are," so I said rather lamely, "nothing." I am sure I blushed, like I was caught in the act.
