One of the things was a dream I had part of which, I dreamed that my husband bought a new car and I was really mad at him because I didn't want any new debt and I told him to take it back and get out of it and he refused. There were like 3 other scenes in it too like a road to my parent's house disappearing and discovering a cave or something underneath a yard, all kinds of weird stuff, but when we put it all together and were translating the dream symbolism my t came up with this: we don't know what it is yet, but there's going to be a price I have to pay.... I didn't really absorb what she'd said at first, it hit me later, but I have this feeling that she's right about that. I don't know, and excuse the rambling, but I think maybe because of the changes that are happening inside me during this process? or is it because of things that I am learning about myself? She's lucky she didn't give me email access to her cuz she'd have received one tonite with a ton of question marks in it.  I'm just really really wondering now what she meant by that. I think perhaps - it might relate to my FOO I live pretty far away from them so don't see any of them but a couple times a year if that. So they aren't experiencing the changes in me as they come they're gonna get 'em in one big ol' lump. I don't know. Thinking with my fingers here I guess. I guess I already know what I want to talk about next time. The price, and what if I decide it's not worth it? At the moment, as I am typing this, I feel like it's worth it no matter the cost because I KNOW I am healing and growing, and becoming the me I was meant to be all along. But wow. What could she mean?
Thanks for putting up with my rambling!!

Dreams, I think can be quite literal OR symbolic, sometime even literal AND symbolic. The price referred too might be the actual money you pay for therapy and the resentment toward that. You *were*mad at your husband for buying that car....
If not, Perhaps she was referring to not a price to be paid maybe, but rather an exchange?
