yeah Mouse, I think you were the T (they say we play all parts of our dreams) but I think you were acknowledging the feelings behind what drives the presenting yourself as needy. I'm guessing and relating it to myself, that I sometimes can present myself as needier than I am too because.. I want to be helped.. I want to be taken care of... I don't want to be abaondoned and if I am not in need a person might abandon me....

So presenting yourself as needy, if you are like me, brings you help, compassion, empathy, care, attachment... These are things T provides as well.

You see it in your dream as not needing your T. Maybe it isn't about 'not needing' your T, but about 'not needing' to present yourself as needy to get your real needs met.

It is scary to think of changing old ways. They are comfortable and familiar and it's all we know til we learn new ways; then they become comforatable and familiar.

I so enjoy your posts and insights mouse
