Have you thought about why it is uncomfortable to you?
For me, I suppose there are many reasons I don't want to share dreams. One is that I actually don't want to share anything at all

Because I think that my T might get some pleasure out from me sharing stuff and I don't think he has deserved any pleasure - I already pay him quite a lot, right.
So I suppose I feel that working with me should be hard and difficult work for him without any pleasure component and I try to do all I can to maintain it this way

That includes not giving him dreams to work with because I know he likes it.
But my point was that such dreams as I described are already kind of end products. There's no need to bring them to the therapy at all because their message is loud and clear - they demonstrate me how to feel certain feelings I haven't been able to feel yet in waking life. I think that's different from dreams that might be useful for dream work.
