Worst experience ever, and I only say this because it was the best dream ever. The better the dream is, the more depressed you feel in the morning.

Ah yes. I remember when I was in one of my deepest bouts of depression...and all I wanted to do was sleep because the dreams were so wonderful, especially in comparison to my reality...and then I'd wake up and feel even more despair because those dreams were not reality.

After I came out of that depression, I never allowed myself to "go there" ever again....because it's just too painful.

Now, though, I do lull myself to sleep at night 'dreaming' of T....but they are more innocent dreams representing safety and comfort....which serve as a dream-catcher of sorts to keep the awfulness away. Much less painful than those other dreams that feel gut-wrenching when realizing that it's not reality - and will never, ever be reality.

Oh dear... yeah, I've been there. So odd you should say it, because it happened again last night. I dream about him with some frequency, and sometimes they're good and sometimes they're bad, but the REALLY good ones are so sad to wake from. Sorry Rolan

Yeah it's just like waking up, wow that was really fun seeing her! I feel so close to her now. I can't wait to see her again! Then... it hits you that you never saw her and never will. It just hurts.

yep as i just mentioned in another post i had the most vivid realistic sex dream about my t a few nights ago. i'm not in love with him though, he's the wrong gender for me but when i saw him at my session i went bright red because the dream was so real. i was mortified. i told him about it though and we had a bit of a laugh over it.

All the time. All the time.

But it makes sense because he's the only relationship I have in my life right now (other than my grown daughter), and therapy is very intense. In my dreams T is usually just like he is in real life, and they are generally not romantic. I have daddy issues, so he's more of a father figure in the dreams.

I did have one funny one recently though that was romantic. We were in session, and while he was talking he stuck his tongue out. Not at me, but off to the side like people do when they're thinking. That was too much for me to resist and I got up and leaned toward him, and he got up and leaned toward me, and we kissed. About 2 or 3 seconds later, just when it was getting really good ............he fainted. Passed out cold and slumped back in his chair.

I'd love to know what it means, but I am never ever EVER going to tell him that one.

I've had a few dreams with T in them. A couple were about me doing something (like renewing my wedding vows with my H) and her being there and proud of me for doing whatever it was. One was sexual (even though I'm not sexually attracted to her in real life) and when we were finished, she looked at me and said, "What have I done? Oh my God, what have I done?" I assured her it was consensual. Woke up feeling weird from that one. Haven't told her either. Not gonna.

[healed84]

I have.. although, none of them sexual in nature. Most of them are me looking into his life outside of the office or him seeing me while I am at home with my family. I think it is rather normal to dream about the people who you interact with, no matter how frequently or how close the relationship is. Although, I must admit if I ever do have a sexual dream about him I could see how going to see him next would be really hard.

[lostmyway21]

I've had dreams about T abandoning me. I used to wake up freaked out and email T and he would reassure me that he was still there and didn't abandon me.

Ive had several dreams about my exT and my current T, and Ive only been in therapy for about 9-10 months

[Boats19]

I thought it was odd that I was not dreaming about my T. I experianced crushing transferance. One session I asked Her about a pecular statement. It took me over a year to get the nerve to ask her what She ment. She said she would never say anything like that. I realized then that I must have dreemed of her. I just can't believe I mix up dreems and reallity

[geez]

It's funny that I just saw this post. I've been dreaming of past T and present T on different nights! I feel like I'm in therapy when I'm sleeping I haven't been sleeping well.

Doing therapy in your sleep? No wonder you're not sleeping well!!! I told my T once I had been dreaming about him a lot, and he made a comment that if I didn't stop he was going to have to charge me his overtime rate

[OneRedRose]

I had a dream of my T a few times, never sexualised though, just very weird,I dreamt once that she was a doctor (as in the A&E kind) and she was trying to take my blood but she was using a syringe about the size of a hand and the needle was huggggeee too. im not scared of needles, hell I have so many blood tests if there was a time I was scared, I am certainly not now. was just very weird, their was more to the dream, but time has erased much of it.

I am like you, Bunny. My t is my only (male) relationship now and for the past 7 years. I never knew my father but my t isn't a father figure...my feelings have never changed in all this time.

I don't have too many dreams about him, but one was hilarious and told him (we are the same age and relate big-time)...I say things to him like: You are cuttin' it close (last name); he just laughs.

I am in love with him and always will be.

According to my t dreams are either about what you want to happen or what you do NOT want to happen.

Hugs to you, Bunny!
