I just realized there was nowhere to write about this, and I didn't want to start a new thread, so I'm starting a new continuous thread for people to discuss therapy dreams.

Had a negative reaction to TMS and can't stop sleeping. The only reason I'm remembering a dream was because I didn't take Ambien.

We were at his house, which was somehow like the house of the man i moved in with when i was 15 (just was thinking about this situation for the first time in years).

My therapist was very distant and cold towards me, but i kept following him around the house and touching him. I kept wanting to feel his body. But he didnt reciprocate.

Then on his TV screen, in the corner, was a shortcut to this site. I clicked on it and saw he was reading erotic transference stories from this site.

His wife popped in the dream at the end, just like in the last dream I had of him. She was really short, was talking to me, but I don't remember what she said.

Not a very eventful dream apparently, but my thoughts of him have been driving me crazy ever since. I now have 'memories' of feeling his body in a sexual way, and now it's driving me crazy. I haven't been feeling any needs to be close to him for a long time, but now they are back.

I usually dream that my t is the teacher of a class, and doesnt want to talk to me but will talk to all the other students. Or that T is in my country visiting, and i try to go find her, and cant find her anywhere- and then she goes back to her own country.

Dreams are always so interesting!

It sounds like your dream aligns with your desires. You may have suppressed that sexual desire in real life for many years or months, but that doesn't mean the desire went away. You just knew how to control it and stop thinking about it.

The cold/distant behavior from him is maybe you realizing the sexual relationship would never happen. And maybe you are anxious that he WILL become cold and distant in real life if he ever found out about this desire. (I don't think he'll be cold and distant in real life, though.) Also, I wonder if his wife is present because YOU realize in real life that he's already "taken".

And him viewing the erotic transference might suggest that YOU'RE afraid he already has a suspicion that you have ET

I had one about T1 recently where at each session, she would hide a pair of earrings as a gift for me somewhere in the office and drop me a hint about where I could find them (I love her sense of style). One day I found a pair of earrings on my own outside of session, nestled in a big leaf in a hidden garden, and they were by far the most beautiful ones I'd ever found. I took them in to her at our next appointment and she said she was very proud I'd found them and that I had no more true need to see her.

And one of T2, where I was asleep in the dream, or in some altered state, and he was holding me while we were both somehow standing. He moved with me very slowly, like dancing, and had his hands placed on my back. He would move his hands every so often, and each time he did, I felt a new part of my body release and become free of pain. Gradually through this process I became more aware of what was going on, until suddenly I opened my eyes and was fully cognizant that I was with T2-- he realized I was awake and stopped a moment-- I told him I loved him, he said he loved me too and that any time I was upset or afraid, I could remember this dream.

Of course I have ones where they're annoyed with me or pissing me off, too. But I like to forget those.

I dreamed about my T last week. We were in her office, and I was standing up looking out the window or something. After I sat down on the couch, she sat next to me. The mood changed and was lighthearted and playful, and then eventually she grabbed my hand and held it. In the dream, I both liked it and felt really uncomfortable.

I've had a couple dreams that all involved my T being a part of my family or one of my friends. Nothing weird happens, we are just chatting or hanging out or laughing. I guess it's pretty obvious what that means, I just want to be close with her.

I've had a couple of dreams of my T where he's waiting for me and is supportive in the background , one I'm feeling bewildered and he comes down a corridor and says let's go have some therapy. In one dream on two occasions he comes right to my boundary without intruding ( people not respecting my boundaries has been an issue ) I'm like wow I like that he's nailing my boundaries ! He does it in real life too. Dreams tell us a lot I think with symbolism and metaphors. I always share them with him.
