People who often dream at night must watch!
Frequent dreaming can also harm the body, and different dreams correspond to different physical and mental states, with different treatment methods.
One is dreaming about trivial things that happen during the day, where these people have shallow sleep and their consciousness is still active. Traditional Chinese medicine talks about the "spleen idea". People who have these dreams may have poor digestive and absorption functions (such as the stomach).
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when a person falls asleep, their soul rests, and their soul is still working, the gastrointestinal tract is still wriggling, digesting, and absorbing. The function of the spleen and stomach is poor, and relying solely on the work of the soul is not enough to complete tasks. Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize the soul that should rest to help it work, which can lead to dreams and drooling.
In response to dreams caused by indigestion, we should help them improve their digestion and absorption functions, enhance their courage, and avoid disturbing their souls when digesting food at night, resulting in fewer dreams.
Secondly, we often have strange dreams that are unrelated to our own lives, and the things we dream about are inexplicable. We call these dreams "wandering beyond things, without a soul attached", which is related to the liver. The liver stores blood, and blood captures the soul.
Those who dream these dreams cannot contain blood or hide their souls; We usually use the method of nourishing liver blood to help him regain his soul and sleep peacefully. In this regard, there is a prescription in traditional Chinese medicine - Sour Jujube Kernel Soup: We usually stir fry the sour jujube kernels and use it to boil the soup and add some auxiliary plants, including our commonly used Poria cocos, also known as Poria cocos, which has a calming effect.
The third is to have strange dreams and nightmares, dreaming of falling off a tall building, being chased by someone, or seeing bloody scenes, or being bitten by a dog or snake, or dreaming of a dead person, or dreaming of falling into a dirty place.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this situation is caused by the kidney, which is the main cause of shock and fear in the human body. If a person's kidney qi or kidney essence is damaged, they often have some more frightening dreams. Generally, people who dream these dreams have had some experiences of losing sperm or being scared, or there have been changes in their family or loved ones. For these people, we usually use hot drugs to help them remove cold phlegm and blood stasis; In addition, mineral medicine should be added.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mineral drugs are relatively heavy and can alleviate anxiety. The mineral medicines we usually choose include keel, oyster, shell, and magnet. If the dream is particularly scary, we will use a small amount of cinnabar. After these people remove the cold phlegm and blood stasis, these dreams will naturally disappear.
Zhuangzi once said, "Real people have no dreams. For a healthy person, it should be like waking up and closing your eyes, and not feeling so tired. So when we experience insomnia or excessive dreaming, we must be aware that we are already in a sub healthy state and should engage in self adjustment.
