Paul,
duality is something we live in many different manners. Many of us, we have lived successful lives, still continue to, and are of the able actor part enough that to speak of what was done to us, people would not beleive it. And all the time, growing up, that we hid what was happening, so talented the actor even as a child, yes? It is something we have grown up with, and almost become something natural to us.
Duality includes even the fact that we are now adults, and yet still supposedly have an 'inner child' (not sure I fully believe of that). It is a sad truth, that never have we been able to fully live the truth.
Sorry of your dream also. I hope you are feeling better now.
