That does compounds the issues fo the &quot;duly receiving cricicism&quot;.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kokopelle&ditemid=412663" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2013-05-12:2014669:373264 2013-11-25T04:11:59Z 2013-11-25T04:11:59Z awake public 0 Sometimes the feedback from dreams can be productive and sometimes it is just our insecurities speaking. This morning the insecure part was speaking up. I've focused on complimenting people and my dream this morning turned the practice on it's head.

Yep...<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kokopelle&ditemid=373264" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
