I can understand why your mom tells you not to tell your boyfriend about all these dreams.

And, I understand this not only as an ISFJ but more as someone with a negative experience concerning this.

You know, not all boyfriends are going to respond positively to your dreams. They may sometimes come under the impression that you are in some way indirectly asking them, indirectly expressing your doubts about them, or sometimes, even just seeking attention.

I'm not saying this about you, but ..sometimes, some boyfriends CAN misconstrue your emotions and your openness. They may understand a few times, but after a period of time, they may start to wonder if you are just indirectly pointing at them.

​

I'd say, continue to be open, because your boyfriend seems understanding :) ..but gauge his reaction too, and try to handle yourself, handle your own emotions from a dream before really carrying the same weight of emotion while explaining your dreams to your boyfriend.. Look inside yourself about this, before really telling him. Tell your boyfriend, but make sure to reassure him, make sure that you let him know that you are trying to work on your own insecurities. It's great to share dreams, nightmares, emotions, and so on.. but also think about what impact it might create... and there are ways to share..

And, converse with your mother. She has nothing but good intentions here, she doesn't want your own boyfriend to get the wrong idea and so on.
