Intuitive Dreamimg

"INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. They get "feelings" about things and intuitively understand them. As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car accident... Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. This may result in an INFJ stubborness and tendency to ignore other people's opinions. They believe that they're right... [T]he INFJ [him or herself] does not really understand [her/his] intuition at a level which can be verbalized. Consequently, most INFJs are protective of their inner selves, sharing only what they choose to share when they choose to share it. They are deep, complex individuals, who are quite private and typically difficult to understand. INFJs hold back part of themselves, and can be secretive." www.personalitypages.com

Above is a little snippet from my Myers-Briggs personality profile.

Today, I was ambushed by grogginess and took an impromptu nap. During that nap I dreamed about a decision I have been trying to make. Everything from the dream screams that it is good to decide against it. Now, I find myself at a crossroads. Do I trust the dream and my gut, although I haven't sufficient evidence from any external sources to make the decision?!

For as long as I can remember, I have had dreams that prove themselves to be a fairly accurate reflection of real life. There are times in my life when these types of dreams are more frequent and others when I almost never have them. Sometimes, they are false alarms, but most times they come so close to reality its creepy.

This was the second of its kind in the past couple of months. (I still haven't received confirmation of the accuracy of the first yet or not. I have a feeling --pun intended-- that it will be a slow reveal). However, more often than the dreams, I will have strong intuitive senses about things. Like stated above, I cannot always articulate them, but I know. [Side note: I don't think I am some exceptional person --at least not on account of this trait :) -- because I know that this is common among people who are naturally intuitive. Often their explanations for things will be "I don't know how I know, I just know."

Now, I fancy myself a sagacious person even without this heightened state of intuition. There are a lot of things that I am not proficient in, but I usually have an astute sense about most things. So, this dream, paired with my own reflections on this decision, makes me give serious thought to deciding against it. Part of me thinks I should be more "sensing" (if I can borrow Myers-Briggs language) and gather more information first; which I may, if I can discern whether prolonging the process would be more beneficial than detrimental.

I don't want to fall into my natural tendency to trust my gut over all else (even though its usually right, lol!).
