But it always lurked beneath the surface -- a phantom of fear and self-loathing. Those dreams you had were very dangerous things. I always advise my clients to approach intuition in any form with extreme caution, lest you manifest fear inadvertently. The dreams were intuitive only in that they showed you “one possible outcome.” That outcome just happened to be the one you feared the most. So you dwelt on it and replayed it over and over again in your head, putting more and more energy into your fear. You allowed it to become an obsession.
