> Sometimes the be-everything-in-the-dream technique works for me and sometimes not. Given what you've written here, I'd venture to guess that you are trying to kill off your needy parts, especially because you've been hurting so much about missing your therapist. There seems to be an angry part lurking, angry that you even feel all of this!
**** Yeah. I feel like I have definitely been pushing the needy parts away and telling myself they are bad lately. Hopefully some of that will work itself out once my therapist finally comes back. I haven't had a dream like that since we talked about it, so I have a feeling his take on it was right. Dreams usually go away for me if I am aware of what they're about.
> Another thought I had was that death in dreams often symbolizes a rebirth - some big change that is taking place but in a very painful way. You are becoming someone else, so in a sense your old self is dying. And it can feel like a car wreck -- or drowning in all those tears.

> Just my two cents. I'm so glad he'll be back next week! :)**** I'm not sure about the rebirth - they were such utterly terrifying dreams, and there was nothing that felt good about them. I can see where that could maybe come from, but I'm not sure that's it. I'm glad he'll be back too, but very scared that he actually won't be and something will happen and he'll end up not coming back.
