Question 1

What was the central narrative of your life in your twenties? What were you trying to prove, and to whom? *(This is listening for the rescue dream, the original engine.)*

Question 2

Have you achieved that? If yes, what happened to your sense of direction after? *(This is listening for the meaning-collapse that follows successful completion of the organizing story.)*

Question 3

Is the dream you are currently running toward genuinely yours, or is it an extension of the first dream because you have not yet written the next one? *(This is listening for whether the reader is in the middle of a completion without knowing it.)*

Question 4

What does the next chapter of your life look like if it is not organized around something you need to prove? *(This is listening for the reader's capacity to imagine purpose without combat.)*
