Do you dream about T?

Do you dream about T?

I dream about PrevT often. I have dreamed about T once.

I had this nightmare about PrevT last night-
Had a nightmare- I dreamed I woke and nothing was familiar to me...I knew the house belonged to me but I did not recognize it. I was myself but I didn't look like myself. I was married but I didn't recognize my husband. I had a young daughter but I didn't recognize her. My husband was Yelling at me to get ready to go some where. He was argumentative and angry. I tried to get alone so I could write down PrevT's phone number and call her.
1-(area code)...and I couldn't remember the rest of it.

The husband brought me to a house full of people. It turned out to be a religious group trying to exorcise a demon out of me and they were trying to take my young daughter away from me. I was afraid and tried to leave but the room had no doors.

Some how, I got outside. PrevT was there. She brought other people with her and rescued me.

It was more involved, but I can't remember.

In the first 2-3 years I did often, like once or twice a week but not so much now. Can't remember any dreams of the top of my head but may remember them later.

Weird dream!

I dreamed about T a few times. Not much. Usually It was some version of trying to find him and him being absent.

Fitting, haha.

I used to dream of my first therapist even years and years later when I was starting to slide into depression. It was a recurrent dream of me looking for him and having trouble finding him. I rarely remember my dreams, so I learned to take that one as a sign to ask for the help I needed.

I've had dreams about T a couple times and marriage counselor a bunch of times. One of the ones with MC that was early on in the transference thing was where I was basically in an episode of Law & Order: SVU, and MC was in the role of the psychologist*. There were all these threats against the detectives, and they were giving them protection, and I was like, "but what about the psychologist?" I went to his place to check on him, and they said he was sleeping on the couch, but I checked, and it was just pillows under a blanket. So we went and found him--he'd been kidnapped by the bad guys, but we saved him. Then he kissed me.

*I eventually told him about this dream. He's short, and he was like, "Oh, of course, I'm in the role of the short guy" (referring to B.D. Wong). I was like, "Yeah, but he's kinda hot!"

OK, and one a long time ago about my T where I was at her house, which was this ridiculous mansion with, like, an indoor swimming pool and stuff. We had some dinner, then she was showing me her room and was like, "My husband is out of town, so you can stay in here with me," and I was like, "Uh...I can just stay in the guest room--that's fine!"

Yeah, I had a similar dream about No. 1. It was just before I decided not to return to her. I took it as approval from my subconscious.

The other dream involves No. 1's building - I'm wandering a dystopian post-apocalyptic cityscape and I pass her building, and I know entering it is very very dangerous.

Kind of a theme here...

I used to dream about her only rarely - but in the past 6 months I've dreamed about her quite a few times. Or, as she would say, "it's not really me, it's some aspect of you." Whatever, t. I disagree, with some blanket statement that says a dream about someone else is not really about them at all but about you. Sometimes a duck is a duck (or an oreo is an oreo, but I digress.) Yes I can see how some of them have clearly been about a part of me... but I guess I don't like absolutes....

I've always found it interesting how some people in my life are often in my dreams, while others never are. It's like certain people just hit a certain area of my subconscious, for good or bad reasons. It was especially striking with guys I dated in the past. Like, if they never showed up in my dreams, that was probably a bad sign...

I have some nightmarish sort of dreams where the woman is there - or I guess it is her. The first therapist never has a face except maybe one time and then it was only in shadows.
I have only dreamed about the second once - and it was clearly her with her face and all.

Yes , a few times. They have the themes of him being supportive and working with me , and seeing me for who I truly am.

I just realized that 3 out of the 5 dreams I've shared with T have included him as a main character. Yikes! I guess he has figured out that this therapeutic relationship is on my mind a lot. Hope he doesn't get a big head....😊

yes. often. dreams about ex therapist who dumped me out of nowhere- that i am trying to get her to talk to me but she always ignores me.

dreams about current t- we live on opposite sides of the world- that i cant find her or that she is avoiding me

I did once. My t has gorgeous, long red hair in real life. In my dream, she got it cut super short. It looked awful on her. I had to lie to her and tell her it looked great. Riveting, I know.

I dream about my T quite often. Usually it is pretty uneventful; I will be out shopping or something and I will see T (sometimes she's alone sometimes she is with her family) and she smiles and say's something like "Hi, how's it going" and that's pretty much it. I had one dream where I finally cried in therapy and T was super excited about it. I also had one dream that was more involved. I was going in for my session but instead of it being in T's office it was in my parent's bedroom. I walked in and the ensuite door was slightly open and I caught a tiny glimpse of T getting changed. I felt embarrassed and said something like "Oh! I'll just wait outside and come back later" but T was like "No, no that's fine I'll be out in a minute". I waited outside anyway because I felt awkward. When T was dressed I went back in and we sat on my parent's bed and chatted like we were friends. In real life I often sit on my parent's bed and chat to my mum so yeah...

We haven't seen ex long term t in years and years and years but we still have email contact with her from time to time. We dream about her often. Mostly we are trying to get to her but she is unavailable.

Only about twice in 13yrs. It's normally ourselves we dream of represented by different actors that may or maynot appear as T on occasion.

Weirdly I have only dreamt about her twice. She's so much on my mind and yet doesn't show up in my dreams. I find this completely baffling.

This is what happens to me, too.
Haven't seen PrevT for sixteen years but I dream about her more often than T.
My dreams about PrevT usually involve me needing to call her but panicking when I can't remember her phone number.

I'm not sure he has ever appeared more than once - a dream I had early on in therapy, when I dreamt that two people came into the room during my therapy hour, and T asked me to leave. I regularly dream either that I can't find T's office because he has moved or because there are barriers in the way and I can't get around them, or that I come to my therapy hour to find that there are other people waiting for T, because I've mistaken the time or because he has double booked me, so I have to leave again.

A couple of nights after my last session before this summer holiday, I had both those dreams rolled into one, with an additional third ingredient that I was supposed to text T to let him know I was on my way, but I had removed his number from my phone (or I may even have lost my phone - my memory is a bit hazy).

Clearly, I need to work on toning down my overblown self esteem/ego a bit

I hardly ever dream about people I know, which is weird. So it's notable when I do.

Yes, mostly just silly dreams. I don't trust my new therapist enough to have her rescue me, yet anyway.

I have dreamed about my therapist many times in the past 6+ years. Sometimes the dream action happens in session, sometimes in workshops, sometimes a combination of his office and my or my grandmother's home, a couple of times I dreamed we were searching or examining parts of corpses, ... fun stuff. I even dreamed about his supervisor (whom I haven't met but I know of) a couple of times - once I was hugging him at a workshop he was giving, the other time he was having heart surgery ... or my therapist was ... sometimes I confuse people in my dreams. Then again, I see my dreams as precious resources and usually write them down. I have been told I recall more details from my dreams than most people, back when I attended a couple of dream analysis sessions with a Jungian analyst.

Other T and prev Pdoc have turned up in some of my dreams. Current T hasn't (yet). It aren't nice dreams, but also not nightmares. Most of the dreams I can remember are just a bit weird and make me feel uncomfortable.

A few days ago I had a dream where I also saw my Pdoc. I was in a building, some sort of school I think. There were other people too. And then I saw Pdoc. I didn't know he was there, so I was a bit shocked, but also excited to see him. He isn't my Pdoc anymore, so I don't see him anymore. Then a week later I wanted to see if he was there again, same day, around the same time. I wanted to see him, but I didn't want him to see me. I think. Or I wanted to pretend I didn't know he could be there. He sat behind a computer. And then I didn't want him to see me. I was afraid he would think I was stalking him. So I went into a bathroom. I wanted to wait there, but there were girls in there. All the toilets that weren't occupied where dirty. So I wanted to try to get out of the bathroom without Pdoc seeing me.
I think eventually he saw me and I felt nervous or guilty.

I've had a couple dreams about T. Only... in all these dreams I never actually see him. For instance I'm at his house for a party, his family is already there and he should be home soon, but I wake up before he shows. Or I'm at his house and he is there, but he's never in the same room. Every time I go look for him, I can't find him. Once I dreamt he died, I woke up crying and felt sad all day.

So mostly my dreams about T are about him being out of reach. He's always so close yet so far.
