I know when I’m leading well, because I’m sleeping well!
I used to have nightmares almost every night until my late 30s. I had them so much that I just got used to them. I could remember them in great detail too. Now I rarely get nightmares and the worst is intense dreams when I'm hormonal. How did I crack it? Simply, I spent as long as necessary clearing out my unconscious mind.

A disconnection from yourself that followed you all the way to the top?
