I think what really helps me build trust with my T is talking with her about my thoughts and feelings about our relationship. Maybe you should talk about the dream with your T.
I too have "my" time slot. Changing it would be difficult. Not just because of my schedule, but because I feel like it is "mine." A special time reserved just for me.
For a long time I was afraid my T. would fire me if I was not a good enough patient--if I did not make enough deep therapeutic progress. I felt like I was continuously pressured to work on deep dark issues. After talking with my T about it, i now feel comfortable knowing that not every session is going to be about deep dark issues. Sometimes it will be about everyday stresses, sometimes about our relationship...the deep problems play themselves out in everyday life and in my relationship with my T so it is important to talk about them too.
