Beautiful thoughts, much to ponder in each part!
Dreams are perhaps one of those things there is no simple answer to... What works for me might not work for you. I don't think there's a recipe for universal success... (unless you want to take it down to the very essence of universal laws and such, haha! Even there you'll find much debate.)
So if you were to take all the whirling and musing from your mind and bring it into your body, I'd be curious to know if you found any clarity and direction there?
What does facing that Broken Dream feeeeeel like?
How does it move through your body? Your posture?
What does your breath do?
How does your face shift in expression?
And then, what changes happen as you ask your body some of the questions you shared above?
When you present different options?
Tap into that juicy body wisdom and magic! Find some authentic wisdom that comes from the inside instead of getting lost in the chaos of everything external... Sometimes the mind just gets in the way of these things... big hugs
Well posed questions and rightly said too. Thank you
