(I just wrote you back and lost the entire message ... I'm having that sort of day)
The main thing I wanted to let you know, is only you know what your dream ultimately meant. And you know your therapist better than we do. If it's a relationship you want to keep, then I wouldn't let his comments go unexamined. What in the heckers does he mean when he says:
"There are things revealed by this dream that it is very difficult to talk about in any context"
Ask him to expound on that!! What "things"???? What can't be talked about?? Isn't that the number one component of TALKING THERAPY!!!
When I was confused in therapy decades ago, I often sought second opinions. I found them quite helpful in sorting out the relationship (therapy for therapy). These consultations work best if you seek a therapist with a similar orientation, comparing apples to apples; a psychodynamic theraputic dynamic would appear differently than CBT.
I don't know what is going on. But this is your therapy, not his. Trust your gut. Don't make excuses for him. I would give him a shovel at the next session (grin).
