a couple weeks back i mentioned that i had a dream about something to my t. he looked kinda surprised. i guess i've never mentioned dreams before, but the theme of the dream (and people in it) related to what we were talking about, so it seemed relevant. we talked about dreams for a bit... i said i didn't really know what to think (in terms of what kind of theory of interpretation i was fond of). he seemed to perk up a little though... guess he was thinking about whether that would be a line that would be good for us to pursue.

then last session i mentioned that i dreamed something again. similar to last time. similar theme / topic and similar people. he talked about freud for a bit. about dreams displacing stuff from the past. about wish fulfillment. we talked about the dream for a bit. but i couldn't see what it was really about or whatever. i apologized to him that i didn't know what it was about, really.

did some reading. guess it is going to be hard to do the dream stuff thing cause i don't really free associate in sessions. maybe pointless to think about doing it, really. i don't know.

i read about the stuff where what seems emotionally significant... is really displacing that emotion from something 'trivial' which is really what is significant. i dunno. seems hard, really.
