Yes, Mandy, really weird/neat dream! Thanks for sharing it. If it were my dream, I would notice that the psychologist which was working on the "inside" of my head was now working on the outside (or, my "whole" head). Since I've been thinking of leaving therapy, this shift from inside to outside would also make sense and I'd concentrate on the "outside"/the physical leaving of therapy and my feelings about that (rather than the "inside" which would be what we'd been discussing/working on in therapy all this time). I ask for a "permanent" -- I'd note that word here; wanting something or being afraid of something permanent as well as hair style? I'd also note he gave me braids, which are totally different, from what I thought I was getting and from anything I've known before. Also, they're not "permanent." I'd think about this, about my thoughts on therapy and my T and how we work together. Wine to me is a "comfortable," social drink which would make me think I feel he's a comfortable/social person but that he didn't give me a glass, that I feel that he doesn't feel I'm that way (yet). If it were my dream, I'd be disappointed I didn't get a glass of wine also and take it to mean we may not be on the "same page." When I went to therapy I'd tell my T the dream and discuss it all with him, she what his thoughts were about my thinking about leaving and about he and I not being on the same page.
