How do I stop dreaming continuously at night? 17

 

The ABC Homeopathy Forum

unable to stop dreaming

I fall off to sleep but I am dreaming the whole night long. I dream of something or the other that went on that day or another day - routine things. In the morning I feel I had just started getting rest & dislike waking up. Can this be called insomnia? If one is dreaming all night long, is that alright or should one's mind be totally switched off?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Just to add, I am always worried about my family's health & well being especially because as I child I was too happy go lucky but as I grew up, I saw my famiy members' health suffer & esp. so for my child, since had so many ailments since birth. I had always taken health as granted but I got shaken up with his health!! Is worrying about family the case with most people or does it need some medication?

Dear Sadhna,

In case your only problem is this worry about loved ones, which is hampering your sleep, you can take Bach Flower Essence

Red Chestnut


These are very gentle low potency medicines. It will help you calm down this 'over-concern about welfare of your loved ones'.

To take it, dilute two drops of Red Chestnut into a 30ml dropper bottle, top up with mineral water, and take four drops 2 times a day from this bottle, for a week.

However, if you have other health issues as well, you might need a deeper acting remedy.

Thanks Sameer. Also, is it alright to dream all night long about routine things which really are so petty that I wonder why I wasted my sleep thinking about them? Does a person et adequate rest inspite of dreaming? I tend to wake up two three times a night thinking about the dream & in the morning I remember the most recent one. Is it that I am unable to rest, so the mind is busy with some trash or the other!

Hmm.. try Red Chestnut for a week.

If it does not improve the sleep, we can always come back to a deeper approach.

I can try to see if a remedy is coming up strongly..


Can you please answer these questions:

Are you a fastidious/perfectionist person by nature ?

How generous are you ?

How sympathetic are you (note that this id different from being anxious about health of loved ones) ?

How excitable abd bubbly are you ?

Are you careless occasionally with money or are you always very careful with spending ?

When I had gone for my overall health exam, only BP was on the lower side. I had asked the doctor if I need to start medication, but she had said that I just need to drink more water since its not so alarming that it starts interfering with my day to day life. I think it was 70 & 100. However, I do get dizzy with all probability low BP when I stand up suddenly. I am ok when I sit down again. I am quite tall & thin by frame.
 
sadhna last decade
Okay, please answer the questions above
 
sameervermani last decade
Are you a fastidious/perfectionist person by nature ? Yes. But don't like criticism for myself at all!

How generous are you ? Very little. I used to be quite generous, but I saw that 99% of the times my friends were making me spend & never shelved out anything, so I decided that only family is worth invested on. Also, I guess I form opinions about everything & everyone too soon. I also don't trust anyone with my loved ones easily. I know I am wrong here but that is the way I have now become.

How sympathetic are you (note that this id different from being anxious about health of loved ones) ? Average

How excitable abd bubbly are you ? Quite but being overcautious takes the fun out of our family activities. My children might find me overbearing as they grow up!! I just don't let go.

Are you careless occasionally with money or are you always very careful with spending : Careful nearly always, but can spend a lot if that is going to add some extra thrill or activity to my children's life. I am quite impusive about adding to children's day.

Some further questions:

Do you tend to keep your house/room very clean, i.e. not even a speck of dirt ?

Do you need control at all times in order to feel more secure ?

Do you value financial security a lot ? Any fear of poverty ?

Do you save anything which may have a conceivable use - e.g. paper bags, rubber bands, etc. - all carefully stored and labeled - against future need ?

Are you generally a chilly person, aggravated by cold ?

Do you have egeneral aggravation on or around midnight time where you have anxiety/restlessness around that time ?

The lack of sleep might also be due to something so simple as eating food too late. I think I also need to start eating early and see if that makes my sleep pattern any better. I feel a lot of heartburn and heavyness in the stomach when lying down.

Answers to the queries:

Do you tend to keep your house/room very clean, i.e. not even a speck of dirt ? Not really but concerned about children washing hands & cleanliness for them.

Do you need control at all times in order to feel more secure ? Yes

Do you value financial security a lot ? Any fear of poverty ? To an extent yes.

Do you save anything which may have a conceivable use - e.g. paper bags, rubber bands, etc. - all carefully stored and labeled - against future need ? Not labeled etc but yes I don't throw things which I might make use of later. I don't like wastage.

Are you generally a chilly person, aggravated by cold ? Yes.

Do you have egeneral aggravation on or around midnight time where you have anxiety/restlessness around that time ? I would say yes. It gets 12 or more by the time I put the children to sleep & finish all the household chores, so I get quite anxious to finish my work & catch some sleep, else it will be difficult waking up early the next morning.

In Homeopathy, how is 'dreaming' taken? Is it not being able to sleep or is considered quite alright?
 
sadhna last decade
Dreaming is normal as long as it does not make u wake up 'unrefreshed' the next morning.

In your case, I think it is making your sleep restless, hence it is an issue which should be addressed.

Your answers are pointing a lot to Arsenic Album.

You can the 3 doses of 30c potency . The process of dosing is exactly same as with your son.

Let me know how you feel in 5 days.

Sameer

Ok thanks
 
sadhna last decade
I would request a response from others as well.
 
sadhna last decade
what effects can one expect with ars alb immediately? Do people get fever or any thing as an immediate reaction to it?

More on my symptoms :
Flatulance after consuming milk, in winters keep feeling whole nigh inspite of the comforter & can actually fall of to sleep only if I cover my face as well - head to toe & make my mind deliberately blank voluntarily. Like I said I am not so adamant on cleanliness for home but since my son is allergic to dust, have to. My skin is dry & clear. I am not so open to acne, unless I have eaten chocolate or cashew nuts. During pregnancy about 8th month, some little eczema had come up on my upper right arm but its near non existent now. I tend to find something to be worried about. I am very concious of health & keep researching topics. Also, I am a very people concious person. I would like people to see me as good or not see me at all. I guess you can call this insecurity. I get very tongue tied at the thought of speaking in public. Please let me know in case of any other queries.
 
sadhna last decade
correction : 'in winters keep feeling very cold whole night.....'
 
sadhna last decade
All the symptoms above confirm Arsenic Album even more.

Some people can get a 'curative' fever but that happens very rarely. The first response in avout 48 hours would be a sense of calmness and sense of happyness.

The things you wrote above indicate Arsenic Album even more inclusing 'inecurity' and 'winters feeling cold at night' confirm Arsenic even more.

Go ahead with the dose.
 
sameervermani last decade
And last but not the least Arsenic Album patients are the most anxious patients as they do not trust someone with their or their family's health easily and they always want second opinions :)

I am extremely sure that your remedy is Arsenic. The central idea of Arsenic is 'physical insecurity', and they scare death and disease (and germs too, hence they keep washing their hands and make their loved ones do it too) to the core as a result.

Infact even before you wrote any answers I knew your remedy would be Arsenic from our exchanges on your son's case.
 
sameervermani last decade
so are you saying that ars alb will change my persona as well? How all does it help a person physically, mentally, emotionally..
 
sadhna last decade
You will be much calmer and happier.

It does not remove any positive traits of a person's thinking , it is just that you will feel much more positive and will stop feeling unduly insecure. You no longer will be burdened by a lingering anxiety at all times.
 
sameervermani last decade
Sameer, just to explain a bit more on my persona. I am NOT a very meticulate person as ars people are. I am not too crazy anout the cleanliness everywhe & labeling everything. I find myself quite lazy and doing a halfhearted job out of things at home & earlier at office. I am too anxious to just get over with the work & move on to the next task as if my life were getting wasted doing that silly work for so long. I move from one work to the other fast, especially works that require lots of effort or clerical work. I want to achieve something in life but I think I lack the will power or planning to work on it. I somehow never have the time! I feel others are efficient & they somehow are 'winners' and have efficiency to finish all their work.
Also, I am not a very diarhoea person. I used be quite constipated, but since I started morning water therapy about 10 years back, my bowel movement is execptionally good as is my skin. I get diarhoea only if I keep awake toooo long and lots of heat gets builds up inside.
I get very sleepy in the afternoon & if I do some fine day get to sleep in the afternoon, its a good sleep. I don't remember dreaming but I am not ablt to sleep for too long coz I am anxious that work will not finish. I could better utilise the time finishing my work.
Also, I don't like change & surprises.
Wondering what you will make of this!

I did get malaria one or two times in my childhood. Actually I think thats the only time I ever got ill & I had to take quinine. But still would request to read all my symptoms & see if I really do need such a deep acting remedy as ars. I am quite happy with my health other than the dreaming bit!
 
sadhna last decade
Absence of a symptom does not counter-indicate a remedy

There can be sub-types within a remedy like Arsenic, because Arsenic can have cover all three (or I should say 4) miasms, and your personality is pointing to one of them.

Constipation is also as much indicated in Arsenic as diarrhea, and all of what you write here does not counter-indicate Arsenic at all.

Go ahead with the suggested dose.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Do not worry at all, the dosage I have suggested is very gentle. You should feel better and calmer.

But, I think you are getting too anxious about taking the remedy. There is no reason to fear Arsenic when used in a well indicated case and given in the classical way.
