However, when I went to tell her the story and the fear, she laughed! It's wasn't hard, or for long, but it really made me sad and a touch angry. We were able to put away her laughs and talk skit the full story, but it was still pretty unsettling.
What would you guys do?

Do you think there is a chance she was trying to take power away from the dreams by lightening the mood a bit? Sometimes my T will give a little tiny laugh and I think it's because she wants to lessen the severity of the situation and make me feel better. Maybe she tried that and her technique backfired? I'm an overly sensitive so I would probably let on how much she offended me. But the mature side of me would recommend try seeing the situation from her side before you go straight to the negative.
