Have you ever had a dream about your therapist? I have been seeing my T for like 7 or so months and I had my first dream about her this week but like it was weird. In my dream I got to her office and she brought me back and was like "I have a surprise for you today" and we walked in to her room which was much bigger and there was this guy sitting. He was young maybe in his 30s and was very very attractive. My T looked at me and said "we are going to try something different today." And left me alone with this guy for the entire hour. She left and I remember feeling abandoned and scared. I remember he explained something to me and the next thing I remember he was touching me and I was not allowed to touch him. Then the session ended and my T came back in the room, asked how it went, and we went home. Then the next thing I know I am back in her office and she came out to get me and she was crying. I kept asking her what was wrong and when she was ready to tell me I woke up.

I don't know I am just so confused about this dream. I've gotten use to my dreams. They are always weird and disturbing and they never make sense. But for some reason I can't stop thinking about why I had this dream and what it could possibly mean. I have not been sexually abused or anything like that. I feel uncomfortable and ashamed that I even had a dream with my T in it. If you don't mind sharing, if you've had a dream about your T what was it about. Did you tell them? What did they say?

I usually have a dream about T once or twice a month and I am a vivid dreamer and remember a lot of dreams. I dream daily as well. The one I had last night started with my T putting me in a mental hospital. I stayed there for 3 days and then she picked me up and showed me her family (in real life she doesn't have her own family). I wasn't really happy about this, even in my dream, and then she took me back the mental hospital. In real life, she has never mentioned or even hinted at putting me in one, so it is a weird dream. I have also dreamed that she came to my house before just to give me a hug. I have had other dreams as well that were more out there and crazy, and I just laugh about them. They usually happen when I really have something I want to say to my T about my week, or whatever. Oh, one I remember had a T-rex that came from the moon and was covered in jewels, blue penguins inside a camera that captures your voice if you sing, and you had to feed the penguins in the camera to work the camera but the penguins choked. Finally we (me and T) freed the T-rex from the jewels that had a value of 28,000 each and was able to get the T-rex back home on the moon. My T was trying to get me and a group of my friends to sing for the camera in a guitar shop downtown. Since the penguin started choking, she couldn't do it, haha. Yea, my dreams are a bit crazy. I never told her about my dreams because they are just too weird. Also, my dreams are always this weird, with or without my T, and since I have been seeing her for 4 years, I would expect her to be in my dreams every once in a while. T dreams have gotten more frequent though, and have just now started lessening.

I suggest you try talk to your T about it, either through email, or writing it, talking about it because it is making you feel uncomfortable.

I have had many about the therapist - but she never actually shows up in the dreams. I hear her and see her shadow or back or something where there is no head or face shown or I get to the office and she just left it sort of thing. I also have a lot of dreams where I go in and talk for half the appointment and then the therapist and I both realize that the other is not who is expected -the therapist did not realize I was not their client and I did not recognize it was the wrong therapist. Those are a bit unsettling.

I've only had one dream about current T. I dreamt that my T died (there's much more to the dream, but it's too messed up to write about). The dream occurred before she took a vacation this summer. I wound up telling her about it. It freaked her out (she said a prayer...only time I've heard her say anything religious in nature ). Once she got back from vacation...alive, I never had the dream again. I'm glad because it was pretty traumatizing to me.

Usually only when I'm taking a break from therapy. Sometimes it's me realizing I'm late for an appointment but I can't get there. I adhere strict standards to myself about being on time to all appointments so it's very distressing to dream me, lol. I've had a couple of dreams where I babysat her daughter. The fact that I can say "a couple of dreams" is baffling. I don't even like babysitting.

hi, I think it might be worth exploring it with your T. I understand you feeling uncomfortable sharing it with her, maybe you can do it when you are ready.. I had a dream about my therapist once, too, I told her a few sessions later. In that period I was feeling particularly vulnerable (actually it's pretty recent, about 1 month ago). The session before the next client happened to come earlier and rang the bell since also the main door was closed and my T had to go open. So I left. we were ending the session anyway but the bell ringing suddenly unsettled me. Short after I dreamt I was home with her and the same old lady rang at my door and T said something about having to go away with her as that was a better client, nicer to talk to and not as dirty as me. They left and I felt so abandoned. But my T goes above and beyond with me so I didn't even need to explore it that much as it's crystal clear that it was a reflection of my fear of abandonment in a triggering time of the year.

Thanks everyone for sharing! Except for secret galaxy and your dream about the t-rex, I can see reasons behind why you all had that dream. I think the fact that I don't know the reason behind my dream is what is making my obsess about it.

I dream about PrevT quite often. In my dreams she can be a teacher or a therapist. Some dreams are comforting or nice. Other times I dream I am trying to phone her but I dial the number incorrectly or I can't remember the number.

When I dream about her a few times in a row, I take it as a sign I need to phone her in real life.

I have had a few dreams with my therapist in them, don't think I was really dreaming about her. In the last two I was in a mental institution and she came to visit, far from the kind of dreams I would like to be having.

I've had a few, and one really good one where he kissed me and we made out. It was pretty hot for a PG sex dream. I have a lot where I think someone is symbolically representative of him. Dreams are cool.

I had a dream that my appointment was canceled because she was going through a divorce. It was at a time where I was more reliant (not dependant) on her and my regular sessions. She's never actually had to cancel on me before. I think the "divorce" represented my anxiety about the forthcoming instability in my therapy that arrived when my insurance and job changed. I have to pay out of pocket and I have to drive almost an hour after work to see her. It ultimately meant I'd be seeing her less frequently.

Ultimately though I handled the shift fairly well.

I dreamt that t and I were in the bath, she had all her clothes on and I had a nightie on! I told her about the dream, and she just said 'and what does that dream mean to you?'
Felt like a twat tbh

I dream about her a lot. Once I woke up really disturbed because in my dreams I sexually abused an unknown, mature woman, and my T was watching it happen. I did it just so my T would see it, and it would make her afraid of me. I am female also and am not attracted to same sex.
I also had a dream where me and my T were both naked (we are both female), and she led me to the lake. Then I lay down on the grass next to the lake, and she lay down on me. That's all that happened. Those dreams wasn't disturbing, though it may sound like they was. I felt like I am an infant and she is the mother and there was nothing sexual about it.
There were also dreams when I am afraid of her, when I completely adore her and so on.. sometimes it's difficult to follow.

I can't bring myself to tell her about it, but I wish I could. It really makes me wonder what those dreams mean.

I've dreamt about my t quite a lot. It is however, usually after we've worked really hard or touched on things that I am really uncomfortable with. I usually talk to him about it though, as I find that is the only way they seem to stay out of my head. It is quite interesting talking them through with your t. All sorts of things come up.

I would think this dreams would symbolize how vulnerable you feel in therapy. How we are expected to open up our insides and spill out everything to our Ts and they get to sit there are nice and secure. Did your T give you any of her own insight on your dream?

If I ever get the guts to tell my T about my dream and she responds by asking what it meant to me I would flip on her.

The only way something can be labeled as sexual is if there are sexual acts being taken place. That is just my opinion though. I haven't studied about dreams in my schooling yet but I would be interested in knowing what your first dream could mean. As for the second dream I would say that it symbolizes the emotional closeness you feel with your T since being naked and laying together is such a vulnerable act. Of course I'm not sure, just my theory

Lots of dreams about t. Always trying to get ahold of her but cant, we dial her phone number wrong,or she is supposed to meet me somewhere and doesnt show up,etc. Always talk to her about them.
