Then you (as you know you) show up, with all of your compunctions about the impossibility of attachment in the therapeutic relationship, and turn their genuine connection into a financial transaction.

I think the most potent part of the dream is that this made you feel sad--that just maybe the part of you that repels attachment is beginning to feel that as a loss rather than just a needed protection. That your T's face was blurry might point in this direction as well--that you're beginning to doubt your perceptions about who she is and what this relationship is. Perhaps the comforting clarity of your therapist as someone you can discount as "simply another member of the rabble one endures and then dismisses" is breaking down.
Thanks. The part about the face is because I really cannot recall what she looks like after I leave her office. Thank goodness I cannot clearly recall what she looks like in dreams either, that would totally wig me out.
