My H finds my dreams boring too. But I do a lot of dream work with my t, and at first it felt kinda weird talking about my dreams with her, but didn't take long to get used to it because she never acts bored with them or judging of them or anything. I have done some really good work via working with my dreams. The first things she taught me were to keep a notebook & pen by my bed and record every little scrap of dream I remember, and to write them in present tense, and always talk about them in present tense, as if they are happening while you are talking about them. It took me a little practice to get use to telling them in present tense but it's habit now. She taught me Active Imagination, where you go back into a dream while you're awake and purposely interact with things/people in the dream in your imagination. I've gotten some awesome insights that way. I usually do my Active Imag's sitting at my computer with my eyes closed so I can type what I'm imagining. And I share those with my t, too. Dream work has been very helpful for me!!
