Salvador Dalí
challenges and difficulties

Salvador has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave him feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with his peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for Dalí.

Fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death may plague Salvador. He strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for him.

On another level entirely, Salvador Dalí is very careful about joining forces, and especially his material resources, with others. Dalí wants to keep his own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Salvador Dalí instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Salvador Dalí needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

His natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing his situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing his situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Salvador Dalí copes with stress. Salvador Dalí also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

His development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Salvador Dalí to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

It is in his way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Salvador Dalí is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In Dalí's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, he needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

He may have an inner fear of separation and could feel left out or ignored at times. Salvador Dalí may have not received much affection while he was growing up or it had to be shared with others. Salvador could find it difficult to show his love in his relationships.
