Dreaming about T

Do you ever dream about your T? How often? Does your T know?

I have been dreaming a lot about my T.

<font color="green"> Yes, I have dreampt of her. I have very vivid dreams, well nightmares actually. Some are like flashbacks and she has told me to take someone with me to help against the abusers. So I have 'taken' her with me cos I feel safe with her.

Since my mother was not a great mother for some time my therapist took her place in my heart and life. I dreampt a lot about her then. As I have become stronger I don't dream about her as much but she is still a big part of my life. </font>

Yea I do and yea I told SKR when she was my therapist. Years ago I was in a real time support group and having trouble with one of my abusers showing up unexpecedly so I had trouble going to sleep. Well when everyone in the group was helping by brainstorming resoursed and statagies one came up with when I go to bed imagine a HOPE group gauntlet. A gauntlet is where people line up in strategic positions and the attacker has to go through them to get to the victim. So this person said imagine so and so and so and so in the closet by the door each with baseball bats, Some group members at each window with their Glass preferred beverage bottles, a crisis center counselor who has a massive key ring complete with mace, pepper spray, and amonia spray, and jack knife , at the entrence to the living room, at the entrance of the bedroom have more survivors with frying pans, rolling pins and pie pans and spatula to make lots of noise with that will not only be used to wake the neighbors but knock the so and so out, and if he should manage to get past that well more group members were inside the bedroom at the windows and the closest friend member of the group would be in the bed holding me and a metal flashlight to blind the jerk and hit him over the head. My therapist at that time happened to be a guest speaker for our group that night and she volunteers to be there also in bed with me to hold me and while the coast is clear talk or read to me relaxation visualizations and soothing relaxing music.

Ever since this has been a part of my nightly bedtime routine of putting on relaxation type music and and sometimes it carries over into my dreams. And the therapist in bed with me reading and talking relaxation stuff is always who ever I happen to be seeing presently. When SKR asked me if I had a soothing bedtime routine and I told her about this visualization that our group came up with she added her own ideas for what she was telling me during that relaxation visualization and told me that if I ever needed help focusing on relaxing into my routine I could call her voicemail or home machine to hear her voice,

When I began seeing LL I told her about my bedtime routine and she loves what I do to help myself get sleep. She also knows that I do relaxation visualizations both for relaxing and for memory recall work and has no problem with that, in fact she went to a workshop and came back with the suggestion of doing the Belleruth relaxation visualizations. She even recorded her and I doing relaxation visualizations together in sessions so that I could do them at home while imagining she is here with me and it is safe to go to sleep. So I know she would not mind that sometimes my relaxation visualizations enter my dreams too and she is a part of those dreams.

I dream of mine occasionally. I remember having lots of dreams of my previous T. Depending on the kind of dream, I think it shows that your T is an important and influential person in your life.

I like how you have taken your T with you. It feels like that to me too in my dreams.

I have difficulty sleeping. It never occured to me to come up with my own nightime routine. Thanks for that idea!

My T is important. It was becoming a concern to me because I was having dreams about him night after night. The dreams have beem comforting and reassuring. I guess it is normal that I am having dreams about someone who has helped me so much.

Yes sometimes it is a little creepy but my T and Psychiatrist are both dreamed about. I do not think they know, if they do uh we will not even think about that! Some of the dreams were a little bit creepy! Most of them are nice, I guess it is because they did so much for me!

When i read Dreaming about T I thought that sounded funny and a cute title good post!

I have only dreamed about T once so far. We were talking. But, the conversation didn't make any sense to me. I have imaginary converations with T sometimes. So, it didn't surprise me any. I just wish I could understand the conversation.
