what is "attachment run amok"? altho run amok IS one of my favorite expressions. Looks like your subconscious is keeping the cancelled appointment, even if your body isn't! So a childish part of you (why your mother shows up) knows that cancelling just puts off the inevitable work (dream takes place at your workplace, but you're stopping for coffee) that has yet to be done in therapy? No, I mean, the childish part cancels, but the adult part knows.
