Thanks, Perna. My T is female. And my mom is not a very cuddly person, so I don't know that she would be jealous per se. In the dream it was more that she disapproved on ethical grounds.

Why haven't I told her I'm in therapy? Most of the issues I had to deal with in therapy were about my mom in some way, and I didn't want her asking questions about it.

My own reading of the dream, after having more time to think about it, is that it's more about my internal conflict over being in therapy. There is a part of me that's afraid I'm only in therapy because I like my T and take pleasure in bonding with her, and disapproves of that.
