James,
What's the process that you're referring to, what would that look like? Is it a process related to addiction, or recovery, or ...?In my dream, I remember every time I tried to dial, I was either unsuccessful in getting through or something bad would happen if I did, and there was always this incredible fear of public humiliation involved, I know that. And in my dream great trust was broken as well; there was a strong feeling of being laughed at and humiliated and scorned; I know that feeling really well from early early childhood. So I'm thinking, this T was probably some personification, what happened in early therapy with him must be retty much precisely correlated to something that happened in my early childhood; something that caused a nightmare at that time as well. And the residual feeling from the two nightmares is the same; one nightmare last night and another nightmare 42 years ago. This is really frustrating.
