My T is gestalt based, and the belief is that everything in the dream is a part of one's self. So, if you pick one thing from the dream and give it a voice....what is it feeling...what is it saying...what is it doing....it may give insight to something.

I told my T about a dream I had with him in it last week, that I was strapped in a hospital bed, screaming, and he was there talking to me but I couldn't hear him.

He tried to get me to give the bed a voice, but I couldn't. I drew a complete blank. He gave me his idea of what the bed was doing/saying/feeling.....It's restrained, holding me back, telling me that it won't let me go, it's keeping me safe...but I'm fighting it....

And he related it to our work in therapy, saying that even though I may trust him or try to trust him, that I fight like heck against what we're trying to do.

So, I guess the dream was very telling....
