Wow... thank you so much for your fast reply.
And I think you are right on the money... I have been battling with all of the above for a number of years. I am someone who is very intuitive etc.... I wouldnt go so far as to say psychic but I have been told by a number of very well respected and proven clairvoyants and healers that I have a gift but I wont be able to use it until i overcome the fear. My sister is psychic and she gives readings and teaches the tarot, she is very good. The whole thing terrifies me though. Really scares me.
Well up until recently I have lived my life running away from all of this, medicating myself with all kinds of substances and ideas and hiding behind "depression" but its come to the point where i cant do it any more. its like trying to stay asleep in a room where a thousand alarms are going off..... so I've started on the journey by a number of means and i'm very hungry to keep progressing.... but still have to overcome the fear!
Thank you so much - I dont suppose you were able to cast any light on the other dreams i posted above, about paint and such??
