Oddly enough, I often think that dreams about sex are pointing to other things. It sounds to me as if this dream wasn’t so much about sex as about wanting to belong and feeling rejected. I can imagine it’s embarrassing to contemplate telling your therapist that you dreamed she was kissing you, but I don’t think she’ll jump to the conclusion that you’re sexually attracted to her.
I think it’s particularly interesting that in the dream you were very aware of the potential harm to the therapeutic relationship. It was a matter of enormous concern to you. And I guess that’s more about boundaries than about sex, as I’m sure you recognise. I wonder if you feel her boundaries are so rigid that it’s hard for you to get close to her… Maybe you feel you’ve been rejected before you’ve even asked her for closeness. Or maybe I’m projecting my own concerns onto your dream… But that’s how it sounded to me anyway…
