So last night I had a very weird dream about a T...it wasn't my T but I think it's really odd. Basically this T was much older than I am ( my current T is close to my age) and he kept being very inappropriate with me. He kept trying to hold my hand, put his arm around me, touch me near my private areas...yeah. I was very upset and kept pushing him away but he ignored it. Then he started to tell me all about his personal life. I was getting really uncomfortable. He started giving me gifts - he started with a make up bag and I tried to politely decline but he wouldn't take no for an answer. Then he gave me like several more gifts - all sparkly and make-up related. He downplayed my concerns. Then he told me he wanted us to meet for like 5 hour sessions and I was like, um no. First of all, I cannot afford that!

Near the end of my dream, I tried to move forward with our session and tell him my concerns of what is going on in my life and my feelings, but he seemed to be more fixated on me. I finally started yelling at him. I threw all the gifts he gave me to the ground and they broke. I was yelling at him and said, "all you are doing is minimizing what im saying! thats all that anyone ever does. you're not even helping me. i told you i dont feel comfortable with these gifts etc.!!" I eventually punched him in the arm and he came after me and took me down to the ground. Then I woke up.

So the funny thing is, my T is very well-boundaried. I have no concerns here. What the heck? It was one of those dreams where you wake up from it with a lot of emotion and it stays with you for a large part of the day. Anyone else have any dreams about therapy that don't seem to fit your situation? I know it's only a dream, but it kind of shook me up.
