I don't remember many dreams, so when I do I often bring them up. My sleep study showed that I entered REM sleep abnormally early, so that might explain my difficulty remembering them.
I think my therapist finds them rather interesting, a nice change of pace maybe? But I don't find his comments overly helpful. For one thing, my dreams are rarely difficult to interpret. I apparently dream as mundanely as I think. One of his standard methods is to ask what *I* think the dream means. But sometimes he pulls out that Jungian idea that you are everyone in your dream? Then one day I dreamed I watched someone kill himself, and he apparently decided to drop that method of interpretation with me.
