Differences in health status cause dreams

Differences in health status make dreams stronger or weaker

After we have a certain understanding of the precognition principle of dreams, we must analyze dreams in detail. The specific situation of the dream, in addition to the influence of psychological factors, is also affected by physiological factors, so in addition to predicting the future according to this, you can also judge the health of people according to the strength and weakness of the dream.

Medicine entered the field of dream research only about half a century ago, when modern hospitals had advanced technical means to detect brain activity and brain structure, new theories about the activity of dreams emerged, presenting a situation of a hundred schools of thought.

But the idea of trying to use dreams to cure various human diseases did not start in modern times, the ancient Chinese had already begun to try. For the ancient Chinese, they believed that dreams were important for guiding the future and curing deadly diseases. The ancient Chinese made great achievements in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases by using dreams. Dreams of difficulty breathing and dreams full of fear of death indicate that the blood vessels of the human brain or heart are at risk of blockage; Repeatedly dreaming of paralysis in all or part of the body is a manifestation of poor blood circulation; And always dreaming of waterfalls, water jets, rapids, etc., is a sign of anemia. Shamans in the Yin and Shang dynasties believed that some terminally ill patients would see the healing god appear in human form when they slept at night, and maybe they would also see gods, even animals, all of which were sacred things. Wizards believe that dreaming the right dream, then interpreting the dream, and then diagnosing or prescribing a cure based on it, will cure their disease. Many people in ancient China believed that dreams had the ability to cure diseases, and this explanation was also mentioned in the Duke of Zhou Interpreting Dreams, which made this work an important research material in this field.

While some scientists believe that it is difficult to prove that dreams have the power to cure diseases, other medical researchers are still investigating whether dreams have diagnostic and therapeutic effects. They put patients to sleep in the lab, and then they conducted the study. Other psychologists believe that dreams have diagnostic powers and that mental or other disorders can be manifested in dreams. It is known from clinical reports that dreams can predict diseases, dreams and diseases will appear at the same time, they suggest different disease phenomena, and even show the method of treatment.

Some researchers have found that the ancient medicine of China and ancient Greece, which are famous for their civilizations, used the knowledge and techniques of dreaming to diagnose and treat diseases. The pathological phenomena hidden deep inside the human body are often hinted at by dreams. Among them, the five viscera dysfunction in the human body is related to dreams as follows:

Dreams of heart dysfunction: encounter the pursuit of the dead, monsters, terror figures, etc. (suggesting blockage of blood vessels), fire, smoke, bad roads, difficult journeys, or fainting (suggesting poor blood circulation).

Dreams of lung dysfunction: quarrels, wars, weapons, suffocation, strangulation, etc. (implying hypoxia, respiratory dysfunction).

Dreams of kidney dysfunction: overwork, lower back pain, desperate swimming, drowning, teeth and hair loss, etc. (suggesting the weakening of secretory ducts in the body).

Dreams of spleen dysfunction: danger, dueling, arguing, bulimia, yelling, etc. (suggestive of polyfluidism).

Dreams of liver dysfunction: lost, primitive forests, dangerous mountains, stuck in weeds and trees can not get away, etc. (suggesting excessive blood juice or sepsis).

These are similar to some analyses of dreams in Western culture. For example, before the occurrence of major physiological dysfunction of the heart and blood vessels and arteries, the parties will have some nightmares of breathing difficulties, suffocation or drowning; Before delirium, people have strange, strange, fearful dreams; Before stroke and paralysis, people will do some hands and feet are cut off, turned into stone or limbs cooling and paralysis of the oppression dream; Let's wait. Ancient Greek and Chinese medicine, unlike modern Western medicine, focused only on technology and ignored the connection between mind and body, unlike modern Western medicine, focused only on parts of the body and ignored the connection between the whole body. Ancient Greek and Chinese medicine explored the subtle relationship between consciousness and the body from human sleep and dreams, exploring how mental conditions and processes affect human health. Ancient Greek and Chinese medicine looked for therapeutic dream elements by examining dreams and encouraging people to dream.

Using dreams to predict disease is a new theoretical research trend in the British medical community, which was proposed by British psychiatrist and psychological consultant Robin Royce. In the course of his clinical treatment, more than 400 dreams have been collected so far, and nearly 380 dreams have been found to be related to the patient's disease. Here are a few typical cases.

A middle-aged man sought treatment for occupational stress disorder, complaining of shoulder pain. In his dream he dreamed that he was riding on horseback and going hunting in the jungle. Suddenly he found two black panthers hiding in the woods, and they began to chase him, and he could not beat them, and felt more and more terrible. Then one of the panthers lunged at him and dug his paw into his shoulder, making him feel a sharp pain. He cried out and woke up. The man was diagnosed with malignant skin cancer three months later in the same spot where he had been scratched by a black panther in his dream.

A housewife in her 40s, her life is stable, but she often has a sense of depression. She always had a recurring dream, each time dreaming of two hands slowly toward her throat, and the distance is closer and closer, although always can not pinch, but feel very painful. It turned out that she had thyroid cancer, and that the cancer was in the area where she had to pinch her finger.

A young woman dreams of being with her mother and two rabbits. At first, the rabbits are healthy, but after a while, a rabbit is injured and its legs bleed. In the dream she had a strong emotional experience, and felt very sad for the rabbit, because she felt that she was very fond of the rabbits. Two weeks later, her mother suffered a stroke that left her unable to move her leg, the same one the rabbit was bleeding from.

From these cases, it can be concluded that the human mind has some sense of the physical illness, and the dream is a kind of warning from the depths of the human spirit.

Jung said, 'Dreams reflect not only our mental state, but also our physical state.' We should explain dreams not only by psychological theory, but also by physiological theory. Because our dreams are carried out on this floor of the brain, it is based on brain physiology, which shows certain information about the brain. The brain may translate signals from a part of the body's immune system that is not in good shape into dreams. So, some dreams can be used to predict disease, and some dreams even have a role in predicting the occurrence of disease. Therefore, we should use dreams to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases of our body as early as possible.

Deciphering such a transformation mechanism, if it exists, would be no less a feat than Einstein's theory of relativity, but the technical means to analyze these dreams would be very complicated. Because the brain is a virtual reality generator, it can create events in the dream that resemble the external environment, and as mentioned earlier, the associative effect in the dream will make the meaning of the dream ambiguous. At this time, it is necessary to interpret the meaning of dreams through special means of dream interpretation. This is something we will cover in a later chapter.
