I must first accept that part of myself in love, then transmute its terrible power. When I accept this part of myself in love without fear it loses its power over me, the two halves are integrated, and I gain that power as my shadow rests within me. Through love I transmute that power to give me strength, tenacity and willpower in my service.
I feel like the last part of the dream was a last ditch effort to make me feel ashamed of myself to the point my progress would be shut down, but I have come too far to be held back any longer by self-hate. There is just no room for that anymore. Therefore, I humbly take the lessons this dream had to offer, thank my shadow for allowing me to learn and grow, and continue on my way.
