I work with the Gestalt and Jungian way in dream work. Which I believe when combining the two is a very very powerful way of exploring dreams. Both Jung and gestalt's believe that in our dreams every person or object in the dream represents us. So if we were were to look at that like that, yes, you do want to be closer to your t but a part of your your t that was represented in the dream. What is it about your t that you want to embody or get closer to, is there a part of yourself that you need to look after more, like your therapist cares about you?
Also using the gestalt way, I would ask you to close your eyes and to tell me the dream as if it's happening right now in the present. This can evoke lots of emotions and gives a good sense of the feelings in the dream. After telling it, I would ask you to speaks as different parts of the dream, ( speaking as 1step and then as your t) what do they have to say to each other. Then speak as the room, or the bed or even as the lips that long to kiss your t or whatever is relevant to your dream.
I find this way very good but it's not everyone's cup of t.
I am just wondering if your t explains what and why when she asks you to do these movements, what is the reason behind doing them?

Hey there!
Sorry it took me so long to respond.. yes, she does go into depth about the movements. I'm not going to lie, I was taken aback when she started the whole hands on the pelvis and the sacrum thing.. it was pretty sexy while I was bewildered at the same time! I sometimes wonder if she is teasing me a bit while keeping the boundaries ever present, I don't really know. But she wants me to get in touch with myself, my feelings both physical and emotional. when she moves her hips with the motion of the ocean she has my full attention.. I wonder if there is a little counter transference going on or maybe I'm just kidding myself!
