I assume this means you're abstract and theoretical, and make slow progress on whatever you're doing?
But I bet it also means that when you do take action, you do it the right way usually

I appreciate that generous interpretation :)
I am dreamy and get lost in ideas. I'd say that I make a great pairing with folks who are less imaginative and welcome my influence, much as I appreciate their virtues. I've had teams like that and it was beautiful.
My antagonist, sadly, sees no value in it, so all we do is wage various secret wars against each other. He moves forward relentlessly on mostly trivial shit. The annoying thing is that work is way more legible.

About a decade ago I had a thing going on (where I was a "dreamy" designer) during a 6-month gig turned 18-month-gig I didn't even really want to do, at an international business where my antagonist was working in isolation in an office 10hr worth of flights and a 3 hour drive away: it wasn't easy to just go drop by his office and be like "sup, let's fix this". It was slowing down the project we were both working on and I hated it - deliveries that I was ultimately responsible for got de-prioritized in favor of endless refactoring and "productizing".
It got resolved by me taking the flights, the drive, having a beer, planning out the follow-up phase of the project the next day, have another (couple of) beers, drive back, fly back. All that was really needed was the mutual idea that the other was not a threat, and face to face contact helped a lot with that; the beers weren't really needed but may have helped in opening up. This ended up that we both did some concessions in our wish-list, made it work. And 4 months later we delivered, transitioned the customer deployment to service, and funnily, we both left around the same time.
De-escalation is important.
