Do you dream about T?

Oh god, I just remembered another dream I had where T actually appeared - this was maybe a year and a half ago. I dreamt that we were seated across the table from each other at some kind of formal dinner, and I was feeling terrible and couldn't eat anything because I was so ashamed of intruding in his personal life... and then he started talking about his family and children (NB: I have no idea whether he has a family and/or children in RL) and when I woke up I was in a panic because I had found out things about his private life. It led to a good discussion at my next appointment, though. I very seldom mention dreams in my sessions, but that was one of the occasions when I did.

Yes, though all bad dreams so far. I would love to have a nice dream about her but I guess my subconscious is telling me something. Haven't had one for a while though but the last one was about three weeks ago as we were preparing for moving to the new room.

I dreamt that she led me to the new room and when we walked in there it wasn't just one room, there were offices with closed doors down one side and a large open plan cafeteria on the other side, past a partition wall. T disappeared and then I was in the cafe and there were loads of people in there and I just put my hood up and stood with my back against a wall, hiding, scared, panicked. Eventually she came back and we went outside. I have forgotten most of the next part because I didn't want to remember it but the truth came out about my googling of her and finding her family online and she was not happy about it.

I told her the first part and said there was more but I didn't want to talk about it. I am ashamed of my actions and am not ready to discuss this with her yet. She was understanding and at the end of that session we went together to look at the new room again to try to show Mr that it wasn't like in my dream.

Not long ago, I had a dream where I ran into my T at a grocery store. She was happy to see me, and she invited me back to her house for a family dinner. In the dream, her house had a swimming pool. It started storming, though, so everyone was inside. I hung out in the kitchen with T and helped her fix food. She invited me to stay the night because of the bad weather. Then I woke up, IRL...

I have never dreamed about T until last night... I've been seeing him for a long time so why last night, I have no idea. I dreamt we were just having a normal session and then it seemed to change. He pulled out my "file" (which doesn't exist) and then started asking what I had found helpful if anything. He then went on to say I was the only person he'd been unable to make progress with, wished me luck and then walked out the door...

I've had nightmares of my first ever counsellor...being in session with him and him not understanding. Paralleled real life as he'd play on his smartphone and end sessions early.

I've dreamed of ex T a couple of times. Usually me trying to get to her but she's unavailable and has forgotten me. Really felt a sense of closure when I met her in the clinic waiting room recently and she remembered me.

Some vague erotic dreams of current T.

Every now and again I have dreams about my T abandoning me. Once I had good dream about T, and I was on a high the whole next day

ive had some. one was i was in a psychosis , i was hearing voices in my dream. i was very confused and i didnt know where i was. i was trying to text T for help, but everything i typed was just gibberish.

another one was that i was at a house party. my T was there. i snuck off to the bathroom to smoke meth. he busted in and found me.

I was just wondering how many of you have told your T about your dreams about them? I want to tekkie my T about my dream but I'm worried she'll be creeper out and think I'm weird.

I have told T about the one of the new room because it helped her to understand why I am scared. I had to draw a picture of how I saw the room though, just a basic floor plan, because I couldn't get started. It helped me and telling the dream helped us.

I've told my therapist about a few of my dreams about him. Not many, but a few, like the one about him and his supervisor that spoke to the sheer panic and terror I was experiencing about therapy with him at that time, and I also remember telling him the dream about my mother joining my therapist's therapy group and then planning to kill all the other members and my worrying for my therapist - I told that one because it spoke to how much intruision I felt in my life (by a friend in particular). I've also wanted to tell him about other significant dreams but we didn't get around to them and I felt way too worried about telling him my dream in which his mother died.

But it's not creepy - many therapists work with dreams. Many work with the therapeutic relationship explicitly. Dreams about therapy are very valuable resources, but maybe make sure that your therapist is open to this approach.

I had a dream about T last night. She was at my house having a cup of tea but it was a therapy session. I told her all my worries and troubles...mostly to do with her.
I guess this represents things that are going on in my day to day life and how much I miss her and feel like I need her as an outlet for my problems.

Thanks for this! I see a psychodynamic T so I'm pretty sure she would be open to discussing dreams. Hopefully I can work up the courage to talk to her about this at our next session.

I had a dream where my T started talking in tongues to me on the phone then seemed to fall unconscious. Then I went to see him (still in the dream) and part of his skull was missing and he was putting something that looked like liquid nitrogen in his exposed brain. He told me he was dying. There was more to it but that was the bare bones. I told him about it and we discussed my fear of losing him and the balance between not wanting to know about his personal life and the fear of the unknown. He told me he is in good health.

I've told my t about my dreams, she handled it wonderfully.

Good luck!

Great dream!

i rarely dream .i wish i would dream about my T helping me and being really supportive of things going on .

All the dreams I have had with T in them he never said or did anything, except point at something. I he was in the middleground nearly blending into things. I only had one dream when we were in his rooms.

Many Ts are really interested in dreams.
(YMMV)

My T seems to enjoy doing dream analysis. I don't always agree with her interpretation, but she has provided her thoughts (after listening to mine) after I tell her about them.

I recently told T and PrevT about my recent dreams of them.
It was difficult to tell T about my dream about her. I told her in session. It was embarrassing.

I've only had one dream, over a year ago. It was classic transference. Plenty of symbolic Mother stuff as well as safety, mortality, and sexuality.

Haven't had one since. boo.
