Monday, May 29, 2017 Validating Dream

Woke up feeling good, had a dream – rare occurrence for me to have/remember dreams – where I was in a room with a girl who had lost her mother and was sobbing about it, making me feel sorrowful, a validation that at least some of what I’ve been feeling is due to empathy and not my own state of being.  This knowledge in itself is very helpful as I couldn’t understand how some of the thoughts and sensations and interpretations could be occurring unless it was a destructive presence manipulating my feelings or feeling what someone else is going through.

Had 3 good full sessions today, have felt wonderful all day so far (it’s about 4:00 pm), almost ecstatic, talking to Irene a lot, feeling her, feeling so close it often brings tears to my eyes.  I love her so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can definitely do the rest of my time here if this is what it is going to be like.
