I have often been inspired, terrified, awe-struck and motivated by my dreams. I pay attention to them. They ebb and flow with the rythm of my life, and they reflect my growth as well as the reminder nudges that I still have some growing to do. "I am here" "You are here" and owning the first statement gives me the tools to completely accept the second. Thanks for this post...I needed it today. Hugh,

It took me a while to realise it. It also took me a long while to realise that I thrive on it! I need other perspectives, I need to push limits and be pushed back. I love it. I learn so much when I hear people's reasons. Sometimes I learn that my view is incorrect based on false information, or that there is new information. Sometimes I learn that there are others that agree with my view and enhance how I think/feel about a certain topic. If I avoided conflict, I would never learn these things - about them, but mostly I would never learn them about myself. I'm never embarassed or worried that I'll be wrong, or that I'll come across in a bad way and hurt their feelings with an opposing view. Sometimes that's bad because I do end up hurting feelings unintentionally. But I don't worry about it (anymore) because I know my motives come from the heart and I love and respect all that I speak to. I voice my questions and opinions all the time. Not because I'm saying 'I'm right', but because I'm saying 'this is what I think about this....what do you think? Am I off my rocker? Or do you think the same' Some people don't get that. That's their issue....I have mine to deal with :) Dreams that were epiphanies? I was a mathematics major in university and studied all the maths in high school, including the sciences (physics, etc.) I loved math. I did so much of it that I dreamt about math all the time. If I had a horrible problem to work out that wasn't going well, I'd go to sleep. A pen and paper were always close at hand. In the middle of the night, and among my dreams, I would reach over and start writing on my hand then finish on paper. A good per cent of the time, I figured out the solutions to my math issues and they would be waiting for me in the morning. I'm sure there are others, but that's al that's coming to mind.... :) Ves It’s funny – my husband was like that in the past (still is in certain situations)…avoiding conflict and keeping peace.
