I hate when dreams leave me feeling this way. Even thought the content of the dream is not real the feelings afterwards are real enough. Zooropa hope you can quickly shake these feeling and find ways to reaffirm that your T is not frustrated with you and isn't going to abandon you.

I've never been much of a dreamer but recently I've been dreaming a lot. My T seems interested in hearing about my dreams when I mention having one. Usually she just listens and doesn't offer a whole lot when it comes to analyzing them but is kind of nice to know I can talk about crazy things like dreams and not feel like I am risking being labeled a freak.

Not sure if my thoughts on this are valid...but I usually don't think much about the actual content of my dreams unless I have them repeatedly or repeatedly find myself waking stressed out. THEN I start paying attention and trying to write stuff down immediately after getting up.

IDK... maybe if your still feeling unsettled or if you keep having the dream you can consider chatting about it during a session. My brain seems replay dreams over and over until it is able to modify it in some way to resolve the issue and release it. Chatting about it might give your brain some ideas to try to get the dream to move on and let you wake feeling peaceful again.
