Must be the week to dream about t, lol. I dreamed about t last night. In the dream, I had called her for our usual phone session and after a minute or so I asked her to hold and she said ok and I proceeded to fall asleep. When I came back to the phone, it was ten minutes after the session should have ended, and she was furious! She yelled at me "That's IT! This is the last time you abuse me! We are done." Then I woke up.

Shudder. I have never seen her mad, let alone furious. I've seen her a little aggravated, when a maintenance person knocked on the door during a session a couple times, but that was it. It's never been directed at me. I have done extensive dream work with my t, so I'm very interested in finding out what this particular dream might be trying to tell me!

That is an unsettling sounding dream. Good luck with the interpretation of it.

Let us know what it all meant. Very weird, I wonder if it has something to do with the phone sessions instead of in person now. If in person she could have woke you up.

My dreams with T in them can usually be de-constructed and offer insight not only about my r/s with T but also with other issues in my life. No dreams about T this week (but did have dream that I had conversation with the president of Belarus -LOL)

Well I'll find out tomorrow what it might mean.... looking forward to it!

Good luck with the dream! I had a frightening dream about my T last week because they wouldn't do something I wanted them to do....my dream ended with me storming out of T's office very angry then emailing them later apologizing.

Just hung up from talking with t a little bit ago. We spent a good part of the session talking about this dream. It's amazing how one seemingly 'little' dream can have so much meaning. We decided that it wasn't really about her - the first thing she asked me was "do you really think I would speak to you that way?" I told her no, I know you wouldn't. We speculated that maybe it was my 'internal therapist' angry at me for something, but the more we talked we figured out it was really more to do with my 'negative mother' thing and I was maybe projecting some of that onto her. And that was about when I started crying, and told her that it all goes back to that, how by putting her on hold in the dream and 'going to sleep' i was going unconcious and 'failing' my therapy and thereby feeling like i was disappointing her and I felt like I was constantly disappointing my mother when I was growing up and that was why she yelled at me all the time and by failing therapy i was disappointing my t so i had to make HER yell at me for the pattern to be familiar. Once I got my tears under control I told t you know it doesn't feel any better bawling over the phone than it did in front of you in your office. LOL I did some really good work today and I feel it. I feel exhausted and am going to go take a nap!! Major therapy hangover but in a good way.
