I'm not sure if this should stay here or go to the therapy section so feel free to move it if need be.

Anyway the last couple of nights I've had dreams that I have been at my therapists office. Monday night I dreamnt that I was taking a nap in his office while naked and wrapped up in a blanket. He wasn't there he was in a meeting and didn't know I was there. Someone had come along found his office open just a bit and found me in there. They told me I had to leave because he was coming back and needed his office. I can remember in the dream walking through the waiting room talking to the support staff and everything wrapped up in this blanket. I left, went home, changed and came back. He still didn't know I had been there and I didn't tell him and we had therapy like normal.

Last night I dreamt that I rode my bike to therapy and somehow had to ride through a sewage pipe and ended up falling into the sewage and my T was at the end of the pipe and came running in, dove in and saved me from drowning in the raw sewage.

I think I know what the dreams mean. I think the first one is that I feel naked when I'm in his office because everything gets laid on the line and I have to deal with stuff I dont' like dealing with. I think the blanket is that even though I feel naked I feel safe because he's there to help me through the journey. The support staff and I have a good repore and I know that I feel the same way when dealing with them because I know they are there to keep me safe. I think the first one is that I have been dealing with some heavy stuff and that is represented by the raw sewage and falling into it is me reliving everything. Him saving me is him supporting me IRL and not letting anything happen to me.

So the question is now that I have come to deep psychological means behind my dreams how do I get them to stop. I woke up last night in a sweat because of it. I don't want to think I'm to dependent on Steve. I don't like the fact I need him and tell him that often that I hope to someday not have to need him. My goal in life is to get off my meds and get rid of Steve. When I tell him this he laughs and says that's my goal too.
