I figured one can't really fence sit with the dreams and discussed all of them. My brain/unconscious then got comfortable and worked with me and the three of us worked together well (3rd being T). I learned that when my husband or therapist showed up in my dreams that meant I was "safe" and could explore whatever the subject was and would look hard to untangle the "coding" or weirdness. As you have found, that would happen more and more the more I worked with it. The truth will out!

Even the embarrassing dreams; they are just dreams, just like the ones with monsters? I dreamed I had my head in my T's lap and she was running her fingers through my hair, soothing me, and in another dream I dreamed we were eating brunch at a restaurant next to a canal on a lazy Sunday and a dinosaur reared up in the canal (brontosaurus :-) and was chewing greens from the bottom, LOL. All of it ended up being helpful to me trying to understand myself. My T was a co-lesbian in one dream, with another, former group therapist I'd had many years before (both had been happily married with grown children, grandchildren, etc.). Laugh at the weird and enjoy your creativity and share it with T! It's all good.
