Since we are sharing dreams this week - I thought I'd share a kind of dreamfest.
I've dreamed on at least 5 separate occasions in the past two weeks that I've killed my therapist. In one, I'm in a session and I look over and he is dead in his chair. Just sitting there, dead. And I don't know what to do because I'm not supposed to touch him, so I can't do CPR and help him. (When I told him this one, I reassured him I would do CPR and he said he was glad to hear that.)
In two of the dreams, I've hit him with the car leaving the parking lot. These were accidents. I also dreamed about running over myself as a little girl in a forest. Interestingly when I first told him about the forest dream, I told him I ran him over, not myself. Any Freudians out there?
And there were two dreams where I killed him with sex. In one, there was this whole elaborate conversation in his office about why he should have sex with me. I convinced him that it didn't matter, since I was going to die anyway. He finally agreed and then he died, instead of me. In the other one, I don't remember much, except that we were in bed together and he suddenly dies. I just worked up the courage to tell him about these two dreams on Wednesday.
In all the dreams, no one comes and tells me he is dead, I just know it.
Of significance, this week I lost his picture. I've had it for almost three years and suddenly I can't find it. He said, "so you are killing me off and now you've lost me. Hmmmm"
I'll wait to post the discussion of the dreams and what he thinks. I will tell you that talking about the sex dreams was hard, because he felt the details were important. I couldn't just get by with "we had sex"-- ug.
So what do you think?
