Hi Shorte,
I think this is similar to what I said before...I started with the car...you could say that your T is taking you on a journey (he was driving, right?) Or were you stopped...hmmm, that might indicate being stuck or having arrived. He offers you a cigarette (we'll leave the Freudian stuff out for now)...and you take two, but are embarrassed. He's offering you something that perhaps you used to use to calm yourself. But you both know this behavior is not in your best interest. And he's doing it too. So, perhaps you are seeing him as less than ideal now...more realistically? Or you want more from him than you think you should take?And the cigarette is, yes, a phallic symbol. So you could be wanting desperately to internalize him as it is something you take in via your mouth. (anyone for an ewwwww here?) But your dream is just using language that are symbols. So an oral fantasy, and cigarettes are oral more than phallic IMO, but I'm no dream expert...seems like a wish for nourishment or taking in your T.
So, was it worth the wait??? The most important thing, though is what YOU free associate to all the symbols. Dreams are a link from the unconscious to the conscious. Only your associations can create the path.
Good luck or hope it went well..not sure when you see him again..
