Quote:Hi All:
Thanks for the responses thus far
I contemplated the meaning of the dream for some time now. The only thing I can come up with is there is a part of me, my psychic side, that I try to repress. I used to cultivate my talents and while I did enjoy helping others I began to not like how people judged me because they saw me as a freak, for lack of a better term. I felt I had found my calling in life and was helping people. But while the people I helped were always thrilled I began to not like the feeling that what I said was influencing people and it was a talent I really didn't understand myself. And then there was the reaction of others who seemed to take a step back and raise their eyebrow. I think hence the freakish nature of the outgrowth and the repulsion of my friends. The dream seemed to indicate that I could not stop what was happening to me that in reality, this is who I am. But I decided stop all together. I don't know why I think the growths are related to my repressing my abilities other than it bothers me that I'm doing it but just can't seem to embrace it as before. My fear and freaking out in the dream seem to further reinforce to me that I'm going to find out that I am the freak that I myself am afraid of.

I can understand the difficulties with peoples reactions... I personally never talk about my interests in the afterlife or energy work to anyone, unless I know they are into it as well. Being a reiki practitioner or having "hot hands" is easier to talk about, though, than this afterlife business. Let's hope it becomes part of every day reality ASAP. Perhaps Bruce's communication device will help to increase awareness when it is completed?
