Thanks, Granite, for sharing along with the trigger.

I have vivid dreams, always had, and sometimes it takes a while to shake it off.

But i agree with 3rd times.....some theories of dreams that are coming to light: dreams are a way that the brain (ourselves, really) use to run something like a boot up routine. I know that sounds less-than-organic or inspiring, but please try not to dwell too much and subscribe too much "reality" to this dream.

Your waking experience is that your therapist cares for you and is helping you heal. So...with that knowledge, bringing this into the "light" from the darkness of your sleeping state could be a powerful part of the healing and help confirm that this therapeutic relationship is in your best interests,and stands for your wellbeing, not your trauma.

something to consider.

Thanks again for bringing this to the forefront...took courage.
