<p>I like this very much. These are indeed feelings and comments that always come up. I do agree with Phil that I think we naturally are OK with the 3 con's, but over time we built some internal barriers to expressing creatively or thinking we won't be accepted. So I think it's more about these internal barriers than the dream exercise itself. It's just an exercise that is not 'normal' (like watching a Power Point presentation) and therefore will always find some initial resistance. These…</p>

It's just an exercise that is not 'normal' (like watching a Power Point presentation) and therefore will always find some initial resistance. These barriers are important for anything that we want to lead to some new insight for the participant. Else it will not have an impact on the way we look at things.</p>
<p>I fully agree that analyzing our tools like this is very useful for us as facilitators. We know what feelings it can stimulate and we can articulate this and reassure the participants accordingly. Thank you. </p> Drear Phil, Autry & Lyndo…tag:aidscompetence.ning.com,2011-06-22:2028109:Comment:559292011-06-22T16:54:56.188ZTricia Francishttps://aidscompetence.ning.com/profile/TriciaFrancis

My i say that i am in agreement with you Traicia, however, we must learn to empty ourselves like a bottle with out its contents, then give our views being what it is, there and only then we can be half or complete fill with the knowledge and experience from each other, which then give us the opportunity to be good in our gold such as a good facilitator.

<p>Tricia, </p>
<p>What you have put down here captures a lot of what I felt when I first did the exercise and have never written down before. I think that your text will be a great help for people who are trying to build their dream.</p>
<p>For me, your three disadvantages are all about being shy. 'Do I really have the right to dream? What will people think of me when I start speaking in this way about these things?' For some of us, that is a real barrier that we have to cross. </p>
<p>I also…</p>

<p>I also think that your 'list' reads like a story. First of all, there is this discomfort and embarrassment. Then there is this sense of not doing this on your own. And then when you have this idea that you have put down on paper, you feel that is a blueprint for something that you can work toward and that feels great.</p>
<p>I think that what you have written helps me to understand so much about this step in the process. </p>
<p>Thank you so much. </p>
