Ouch! That is a very painful dream.
I'm glad you told your T the dream. He responded so wonderfully. That message is really a keeper.

WePow, I had a dream a couple of years ago and we worked on it in session and it ended up being very transformative. I think a lot can happen in our dreams that can affect our conscious life. One explanation for dreams is that they are our subconscious's way of working on our problems. If that is true, it seems very possible indeed that what happens in our dreams can affect our waking world. Especially if we find solutions in our dreams--how great to be able to make use of them!

I think the trust and relationship building will end up being the most important part of therapy for many of us. I like that you trusted your T so much you could share your dream with him. I often feel shy about telling T a dream I had about him. I sometimes share, sometimes don't. You were very trusting! I think your relationship with your T sounds wonderful.
