I dream a lot about my PrevGoodT. We went through quite a traumatic time when I saw her. I dreamed about her at least five times in May. I usually wake up feeling comforted. In my dreams T is either herself (a T) or she is a teacher.

Most often my dreams circle around trying to find her, or trying to dial her number but then, (in my dream), I panic bc I realize I can't remember her number.

Do you ever dream about your T?

[HazelGirl]

Yes, often she appears in my trauma dreams talking to me and reassuring me. I think it helps them not be so scary.

[tinyrabbit]

Sometimes. Not as often as I'd like - but I don't often remember my dreams.

The most memorable ones are:

1. My T went on vacation and I dreamed that I went to therapy and he stopped the session halfway through because he said he had something more important to do. He said he would call me to arrange to resume the session but he never did. Basically it seemed to represent my feelings about stopping therapy for his vacation and my fears that he wouldn't come back.

2. I called my T in crisis and he told me he was trying to arrange an extra session for me which he then confirmed - so I knew it had taken some effort and wasn't just a free slot. After the session I dreamed he was standing behind and above me, holding my arms. Not like hugging. Just holding onto me. That was really powerful to remember.

Yes, I think I've had three dreams about her that I remember. Two were comforting, simple ones. The other was more distressing, but we actually talked about it and I felt better after that, once we'd interpreted it.

[healed84]

Yes, on and off I do. I have had two dreams with him in this past week, both centering around the same things.

One dream.. T and I were at the end of the session, but he was showing me something on his computer before I left. As he was showing it to me, another client walked into his office. Didn't knock, just waltzed right it. It is what T did next that surprised me. Went up to the girl, rubbed her back in a consoling way and said its not your time yet, please go back to the waiting room. I remember feeling in the dream, wow.. he touches his clients I didn't know that.

Then, the second dream. T was pushing me to do something that he thought would be helpful in my healing. I don't quiet know what he was trying to get me to do, but he was acknowledging that he was pushing me beyond my comfort zone, but that it would be okay. At one point in the dream, he pushed me so much.. I broke down. In the midst of the breakdown I ran to t and just fell apart in his arms as he hugged me.

The woman herself has never appeared in the dream. I have recurring dreams about therapy where the therapist and I spend the first part of the appointment talking and then we realize we do not know each other (like I am not the client who she thought I was and she is not the therapist I was supposed to see). Sometimes they end with the therapist then falling asleep on her sofa and I walk out or telling me she will get the right therapist and never comes back. In one, they got a supervisor who speculated about who I might be and what to do with me. I found that one unsettling.
The worse ones are where they end up mocking me for the mistake.

Sometimes. She usuallyis a teacher in my dreams.

[coolibrarian]

Yes, many times.

[Achy Turtle Armor]

I rarely remember my dreams. :/

Yes, I dream about my therapist sometimes, but my dreams are usually very different from one another. Interestingly, I often dream about us going to a workshop as trainees together or have other types of dreams, but I very rarely dream of us in session. Now I think of it, I actually had a dream about my therapist last night - we were attending this workshop. But I was supposed to help this girl I used to tutor with her homework, in a corner of the room where the workshop was taking place. And my therapist said he would have a session with me there after the workshop was done for the day.

Then again, I dream a lot. If something more intense happens, I may remember over three different dreams per night. They are often vivid with a lot of plot details and twists too. I like that. It makes dream work very suitable for me.

ive had a few dreams where i am in some sort of crisis and im trying to contact T but im not able to because of my mental state (being psychotic).

i had a dream where i was curled up in his lap and that was kind of weird for me. it was more paternal than sexual. but yeah it still weirded me out

Yes, I've dreamed about my T on occasion. Most recently was last week, I dreamed that we said goodbye and I was quite nonchalant about it. Not how I would feel at all at this stage in the game! Dream work is a big part of my therapy so I have trained myself to keep a dream journal. Several months ago I dreamed that I was with some friends having a bonfire and my T came up out of the fire but only I could see her, no one else could. As I recall my T was very affected by that particular dream about her. There have been others as well and we always talk about them.

[Tangerine87]

Yes, but they have been extremely distressing. I have had dreams where he's hurting me in the dream.

[Mactastic]

I do and lately they have been what I would call nightmares. In the last one he was drunk and was saying hurtful things. He has touched me in ways I didn't like. He has abandoned me. He has tricked me. In real life I have a pretty loving, respectful opinion of him but my dreams tell a different story.

Yes. I've never told him though.

[nonamecomestomind]

Current T, no dreams so far. Previous T I had a couple of dreams about. In one dream I arrived at the office building and outside door was locked. I knocked and knocked, nobody answered and so I leaned against the building and fell asleep. T woke me up and was annoyed that I was sleeping on the stoop. I left.
The other dream: T and I were in session and she tells a story (aside: weird because this T NEVER revealed anything about herself) in which she is teaching a seminar and nobody is listening. Then T cries a bit about it and then is mortified that she cried in front of me. I say "No worries. I don't mind if you cry and besides you are pregnant and have those extra hormonal junk going on".
T terminated me and all clients about a year later, lo and behold, after 5 years trying she was pregnant, wants to stay at home for an indefinite period of time.
I miss her.

[ScarletPimpernel]

I have one reoccurring dream about my T. It's a very traumatic dream, so that's all I'll say

[doyoutrustme]

I have. Most of them were just me talking things out in therapy. Can't remember what. I've had some weird ones too. Once he grew a beard. Once was oddly intimate. I can't really remember them too vividly.

I only ever have anxiety dreams about my T. Usually if there is something I'm uncertain of or nervous I've "pushed the limits" or I am becoming too much for her...Or if there's a legit rupture. It would be nice to have comforting dreams with her but I've only ever had one.

[iheartjacques]

Yes.
One previous T, I dreamt she didn't want me to see her anymore because I wasn't being honest. I woke up all sweaty and humiliated.
Current T, I dreamt he touched another patient, rubbing her back, holding. And I was devastated because he never touches me. Ever. He's high-fived my son and given my dog a pat, but doesn't touch me.

[Tangerine87]

I wud be terrified if t touched me.

I have dreamt a couple of times that I was trying to get to my therapy appointment but that T had moved his office, or that the stairwell was being rebuilt so I had to take a different route and couldn't find my way. In one dream we had to do therapy in some kind of break room/canteen, and I couldn't get T to understand that I could not do therapy in a public place. I've also dreamt a few times that people entered T's office while I was there. Those were definitely nightmares. In a freak coincidence, somebody tried to open T's office door only a couple of weeks after one of these dreams - it's locked so they couldn't get in, but I got very disturbed.
Last night I had a dream that I think involved my T in some way, but also my father. Transference, much? The dream ended with my dad dying because I had failed to save him in some way.

[precaryous]

My T says it's not uncommon for people to dream about their T for years.

[melania]

I dream about him a lot.
I first saw him in dream after a mounth in therapy and in my dream he wanted to dance with me, held me close to him and then kissed me. I didn't think about him in that way before but this dream changed everythig or maybe I just saw my hidden wishes.
I often see he is my therapist who crosses boundaries with me and loves me psysically, almost always. I have seen also sad dreams but very rarely.

[Mike_J]

I rarely remember my dreams but my therapist has been in a few of my dreams. No really "good" dreams, but none of them were bad.
