In reply to I had a dream too!, posted by Daisym on February 28, 2011, at 14:19:10
I'm really no good with dreams, but one thing struck me that I thought I'd mention. In this dream you are a sort-of-new client, who is also sort-of-not-new. Is that right? It reminds me of how you have just come through a big rupture with your T, and things seem so different for you now in therapy. To some extent, you are in new, uncharted territory, right? While, in some ways, of course you've been doing therapy with him for a long time, and in that sense, you "should know what to do". But things are different now.
Also, the whole rupture was about him not fully appreciating how lost you were/are, how different things feel, and why. Is that showing up again in this dream? He doesn't get it, and isn't helping you in the dream. He didn't get it, and couldn't figure out how to help you in real life, at least for a while. Are you afraid that that is still the case with him going forward?
I don't know if this helps, but it is what struck me.
