I woke up from a dream about ex T this morning and it has been bothering me all day. I can't remember everything of the dream, only that it was some strange fictional situation and T was there and although it wasn't therapy, I got the sense that T was in a care-taking role looking out for me. We were talking, though I can't remember what about. What stands out for me is how I felt being around T - safe and loved - and that I loved her too. In the last part of the dream before I woke, I remember seeing T smiling at me and I was holding her hand. I brought it up to my face and rested my cheek against it, feeling absolute safety and peace. I then kissed her hand as a sign of my affection and returned to resting my cheek against my hand, feeling so safe that I drifted off to sleep and then I woke up, in real life, with that memory of feeling safe, calm and connected to T. It felt so good to be in T's company again, even though nothing of the dream was a reflection of our relationship or what I would want from her in real life. That would be too weird and so it really bothers me that I had this dream.
What could all this mean?
