Dreams About T Or Therapy

[Chosen]

So, I've now gone 6 days in a row waking up having had a dream about my T. I forget the content in the time it takes to get up from my bedroom and go across the house, but I know they aren't horrible dreams, more so just normal happenings. But I've never dreamt about anyone or anything for 6 days in a row (tomorrow I plan on having a journal by my bed to write down dreams if I have them again).

In the past, I've dreamt that my T died (which I promptly called him to hear his voice and make sure he was alive, haha), that he was talking on a cell phone during a session, that we were walking together somewhere on campus, and other dreams.

Any of you have dreams about your T? Do you talk to the T about it?

Yep! I've dreamt about my T multiple times and occasionally I have multiple nights in a row. They were pretty normal dreams, most of them were about a session or something. I told my T about a couple of them, only because they were funny. She welcomed the idea of me telling her about any dreams involving her, even if they weren't good dreams...which has only happened once. That one I chose not to repeat ;)

I think it's common to dream about our T's, especially after we share something private or reveal something.

Definitely! I've worked with three therapists and had dreams about all of them. I'm in my 30's and once in a blue moon I'll still have a dream where the therapist I saw for a couple months in my teen's shows up! :laugh:

For me, usually when it happens it is relevant to something in therapy (like being rejected by my T, or when I started seeing a male therapist, who I was terrified of, dreaming he was in my house.) If it's at all upsetting or confusing I'd encourage you to talk with them about it.
