Something Nubian

I think I’m a pretty good judge of character—at least in theory. I listen well. I notice tone shifts, pauses, the things people don’t say. In real life, I can usually feel when something’s off, even if I can’t name it right away. And don’t get me started on movies—I can clock the ending in the first 15 minutes like it’s a spiritual gift. The villain hasn’t even finished their first monologue and I’m already whispering, “Yeah… it’s you.”

Discernment isn’t just about pattern recognition—it’s about timing, context, and missing information.

Sometimes clarity doesn’t come consciously—it comes symbolically. That’s literally dreamwork.

What’s interesting is that when I’m confused about people or situations while I’m awake, my dreams tend to fill in the gaps.

The Third Eye Dream Journal helps me track those moments—symbols, emotions, recurring themes—because discernment doesn’t always show up as logic. Sometimes it shows up as a feeling, a character, or a scene that keeps replaying until I finally listen.

Who showed up in my dreams recently, and how did they make me feel?

What role did I play—observer, rescuer, victim, narrator?

But here’s the plot twist: for whatever reason, some TV shows have me absolutely lost. Like… confused, misled, emotionally invested in the wrong character kind of lost 😂. I’ll defend somebody for three seasons just to find out they’ve been the problem the whole time. And that’s humbling. It reminds me that discernment isn’t just about pattern recognition—it’s about timing, context, and sometimes accepting that you don’t have all the information yet. Life isn’t always a two-hour movie; sometimes it’s a slow-burn series with unreliable narrators and plot armor.

This is where my Bloom & Balance Undated Planner comes in.
When I slow down enough to write my thoughts instead of replaying them, I start to notice patterns—who I rush to trust, who I give too many chances, and where my intuition was whispering long before the plot twist.

The planner isn’t about perfection; it’s about rhythm. Checking in weekly helps me see what I missed when I was moving too fast to judge clearly.

What signs did I notice early but explain away?

Where did I need more information before deciding?

Reflection:
Maybe being a good judge of character doesn’t mean you’re never wrong. Maybe it means you’re willing to reassess when new information shows up—on screen and in real life. Growth looks like rewinding your assumptions, not just saying “I knew it all along.”

✍🏽 Journal it:

• When was the last time I misjudged someone—and what did that teach me about myself?
• Do I trust my intuition, or do I override it to keep the peace?
• Where might I need more patience before deciding “who’s who”?

(And yes… now I’m curious 👀 What show completely fooled you?)
