"The question you may be wanting isn't the one you may have just wanted to ask." The shaman-kapua was talking without my having said anything.

"What question did you think I was going to ask?"

"You were dreaming up something."

"Oh - that point about always dreaming, even when awake."

"Was that your question?"

"Something down that line."

"You were thinking too loudly again."

"Sorry."

"You just don't know your own power. Not unusual. But a point to consider in your life."

"Meaning a person could have power over their dreams - dream what they want?"

"More that your intuition and your dreams are the same - or come from the same place."

"Oh, that point of 'there are no limits.' So intuition, dreams, even imagination are the same."

"From the same place, anyway - if you consider that place different from you, still."

"Interesting point. And as a person acts, it is done to them in that moment as well."

"So does that answer your question of what causes dreams?"

"Beauty, Peace, Joy - how much of these you want in your life determines what you get."

"Or they are already there and you might only be figuring out what you don't get."

The sea gulls circled overhead, as the waves murmured on the shore. Another perfect day.
