Well, my T is not getting married and nothing in the dream had the slightest connection to reality except for one thing- it was absolutely clear that I would not want a dual relationship with my T and I would not want to become her friend.

I've never had a strong urge to seek a friendship with my T. I value the therapeutic alliance too much to entertain such a desire.

But what my dream showed clearly is that I would truly lose a very important part of my life if she and I became friends and that is the therapy relationship with her.

If she weren't my T, I think it would be nice to be friends with her. We have similar educational background, similar intellectual interests, etc.

At least that's what it seems. But what my dream also portrayed is that, in fact, I know nothing about my T. Or, very little.

And that's o.k. I know enough. I know she has supported me these past 3 years and will continue to support me. I know she admires me because she told me so (still can't understand that). I know she offers understanding and compassion and patience.

I know that without her I would not have found the more authentic me. I am grateful to her and besides that I love her too.

But, I don't need her friendship. What she gives me now is much more valuable.
