They include endocrine disorders, overheating of the body, excessive hunger, pain, fullness of the gastrointestinal tract, diseases, and psychological changes, emotional changes. Specifically, there are the following factors. 1. Adolescence. Endocrine hormone secretion, faster development, dreams of more flying, playing, running or dating with friends, seminal emission, dream intercourse, etc.. 2. Eating too much. Sleeping in the state of being too full, the stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract being full acts on the brain, and it is easy to have dreams about eating and dining. 3. Illness causes dreams.

Visual stimulation. People in awakening is contact with things often coded into the dream, especially strong stimuli, such as suffering torture, shock and other intense stimuli will lead to recurrent nightmares. For example, survivors who survived the Nazi concentration camps in Germany were still unable to get rid of recurring nightmares 15 years later.

How to deal with different dreams

Dreams about daytime events

The storyline is nothing out of the ordinary, it's normal, it's just those trivial things. It means that these people are not in deep sleep and the conscious level is still active. Reason: Chinese medicine talks about "spleen idea", people who have such dreams have bad digestive function, that is, bad stomach function, and bad absorption function of the spleen. As we all know, after we fall asleep, certain areas of the brain are resting, that is, the soul is resting, but the spirit is still working. At this time your stomach and intestines are still moving, also digestion, absorption. Many people have poor function in this area. This means that the work of the soul alone is not enough to accomplish this task, so he has to mobilize the soul that should be resting to help it work, thus allowing himself to produce a series of dreams. The dream is still fresh in my mind and I can recall everything. Another manifestation of this kind of person is drooling during sleep, which is also a manifestation of poor spleen function. Solution: So for this kind of excessive dreaming caused by poor digestion, we should help him to improve his digestion and absorption function, that is, to improve prana, so that he does not have to disturb his soul when digesting food at night, and there will be less dreams. A relatively good case of this type of excessive dreaming is to get up the next morning and know that you dreamed, but have forgotten what you dreamed about.

Excessive dreaming

This kind of dream has nothing to do with one's own life, and the things one dreams about are baffling even to oneself. Reason: This kind of dream has something to do with the function of the liver. "The liver collects blood, and the blood regulates the soul, so the soul rests well inside. But these people just can't collect blood and hide the soul. Solution: In this case we usually use some nourishing liver and blood to help him collect the soul and sleep at ease. There is a famous formula in Chinese medicine called "sour date soup", which is now developed by some pharmaceutical companies called "sour essence liquid". Sour dates are sour, but sour date seeds are not sour. We usually fry the sour date seeds and use them to make a decoction and boil water, and add some counter-adjuvant drugs to make a formula. One of the drugs we often use is Poria, Poria is also called Fu Shen, itself has a calming effect on the mind.

Sour date seed soup

Ingredients: 60 grams of sour date palm (slightly fried), 30 grams of ginseng, 15 grams of gypsum (crushed), 22.5 grams of red poria (remove the black skin), 15 grams of cinnamon (remove the rough skin), Zhi Mu (cut, roasted), licorice (roasted) 15 grams each Usage: The above seven flavors are coarsely pounded and sieved. Decoct 15 g of water to 180 ml, remove the dregs and take warm. After sweating, sleep is not allowed, or the deficiency labor is disturbing and the Qi runs through the chest and sleep is not allowed.

Having strange dreams and nightmares

Dreaming of falling down from a high building, or being chased, or dreaming of some bloody scenes, or being bitten by a dog or a snake, and also they keep dreaming of some dead people, or dreaming of falling into a dirty place. Reason: This condition is considered by Chinese medicine to be a problem of the kidneys, which are the main body of fright and fear, and if a person's kidney energy or kidney essence is harmed, they will often have some more frightening dreams. Usually people who have these dreams have had some experience of losing their essence or being frightened, or some change in their family or relatives. Solution: For these people, first of all we have to help them get rid of the yin-cold information, energy or substances in their bodies that stimulate them, such as stagnant blood and cold phlegm, and with these material bases in place, evil qi will be generated, causing people to have nightmares while they are asleep.
