Dreams of weeping and grief refers to the dreamer lying down and dreaming of sad things, and waking up as normal, or even waking up from sleep and crying, and then slightly relieved after crying, which is inexplicable. Mostly due to emotional stimulation, common in women, but men who are introverted by nature can also get it. Qing. Wu Shiji thought: “The feeling of passion is not cured by medicine; the disease of seven emotions should be cured by emotions.” According to the principle of treating the mind and body together, the application of the method of verbal enlightenment combined with traditional Chinese medicine to identify and treat the symptoms has achieved more satisfactory results.
Ling Shu. The teacher’s biography: “The emotions of people are not bad for death but happy for life, so if you tell them about their defeat, talk about their goodness, guide them to their convenience, and open them to their suffering, even though there are people who have no way, are there those who do not listen?” The patient’s words are directed at the patient’s needs. Speech enlightenment is to address the patient’s condition and its psychological state, emotional disorders, etc., the use of speech to talk to ease, help patients understand the cause of their own disease, change the inner sadistic cognition to achieve the purpose of treatment.
1.Pleasant and open-minded, “the language with its good”.
First of all, the doctor should be kind to the patient, full of warmth and respect, reasonable to feel each other’s inner world, using sincere language to persuade each other, which is the key first step of the verbal guidance method. Dreams of sadness and crying patients are sensitive and sad by nature, in the initial consultation reception stage, only with kind words and love to open her (his) heart, she (he) will be their inner depression and suffering to tell the doctor.
Xu Moumou, male, 32 years old, worker, was first seen on March 16, 2004. He had headache and swelling, mood swings, chest tightness like pressure, distension and pain in the ribs, bitter mouth and dry tongue, little food and drink, and anxiety for one year. When he sleeps, he has a series of nightmares and often wakes up with a frightening operculum, the headache is worse, his eyes weep for a long time, he is homesick and feels homesick, and it is difficult for him to sleep again, so he sits waiting for the day. The tongue is slightly red with petechiae on the side, the tongue coating is white and greasy, and the two veins are stringent and slippery. This is due to the injury to the spleen caused by excessive thinking and worrying, the stagnation of qi and fluid, blood stasis and phlegm coagulation, which obscures the heart. The treatment is to open up the heart with words, to please the mind, to invigorate blood stasis, to dispel phlegm and calm the mind. Radix Angelicae Sinensis 15g, Rhizoma Dioscoreae 15g, Safflower 5g, Radix Bupleurum 10g, Radix Paeoniae 15g, Rhizoma Chuanxiong 10g, Rhizoma Ligustici 20g, Radix Aromaticus 10g, Rhizoma Suga 10g, Rhizoma Polygonatum 10g, Rhizoma Acorus 10g, decoction in water, one dose daily. 14 doses of the medicine were taken and the nightmare was removed.
The patient complained of recurrent headache and swelling at the time of initial consultation, followed by complaints of poor sleep and occasional crying. When asked about the reason, the patient wanted to talk but stopped. The author always treats him well, and after a long time Xu told the truth: “Since childhood, I have been loved by my father, and after I became an adult, I took my father’s place and moved around, but I did not do my filial duty at my knees. And returned, has died, mourning before the spirit, feel the headache is splitting, since then every thought and feeling that the headache is swollen.” Most patients in this category are unsettled and feel guilty and self-conscious. They often think that they are “at the end of the road” in their understanding of things. Therefore, the doctor’s good words, sincere heart and “people with good” outlook on life, world view can touch her (his) heart, subconsciously change their “good and evil view”.
2, guide confide in, “guide to its convenience”.
The “seven emotions” of the patient’s emotional world are mainly obtained from the consultation, and their compliance or non-compliance is directly related to the development, evolution, prognosis and treatment methods of the disease process. Therefore, Li Shui’s “Introduction to Medicine” points out: “When asking whether the place is smooth and appropriate? If the place is smooth, the nature and blood is easy to regulate; if the place is adverse, the gas will be enervated”. Dreams of weeping and grief are buried deep inside the patient’s heart, and in general, they do not easily disclose the emotional damage they have suffered in the past and do not want to recall it.
Zhong Moumou. Female, 48 years old, laid-off worker, first diagnosed on November 7, 2001. Six months ago, due to the restructuring of the unit, it was difficult to adapt to the new work position and she was anxious. After the conflict with the unit leader, she was depressed and now had a depressed mood, palpitations and chest tightness, dream disturbance at night, and she was afraid to go to bed alone, waking up from crying several times in the past month. Treatment with sedatives was ineffective. The tongue is slightly red, with thin white tongue coating and thin pulse. The evidence is due to the weakening of the dirty qi, the blood does not nourish the heart, and the heart and mind are not nourished. The proposed treatment is to speak to enlighten, empathize and confide; to nourish the heart and calm the mind, to fix the spirit. Roasted licorice 15 grams, Huaiye wheat 50 grams, lily of the valley 30 grams, Shengdihuang 30 grams, sour dates 30 grams, ZhiMu 10 grams, Chuanxiong 10 grams, FuShen 15 grams, hooked vine 30 grams, cicada 10 grams, nightshade 30 grams, red dates 10. After taking 10 doses of the above medicine, although the dream did not make the panic, so the original formula in and out plus or minus, words to enlighten, patient combing, layer by layer in-depth treatment in January, alone can come to the clinic, as normal, natural expression. 2 years later follow-up, has been re-employed, and get along with others peacefully.
The patient was apparently laid off due to the restructuring of the unit. Although it was later clarified by the relevant institutions, the patient always felt that the grievance was not cleared and was sullen. Asking the medical history of the patient who cries with sadness requires the doctor to use his skills to start with the problem that the patient thinks is most convenient and easy to solve, and the problem that he is most willing to solve, taking his preference as the entry point and encouraging the patient to confide in himself the process of suffering from what kind of emotional and moral factors of lust and pain. In step with the in-depth understanding of the disease, it can be targeted to guide the patient’s emotional transfer, to channel the inner complex, to change the patient for some cognitive bias and lay the foundation.
3, condemnation of the fate of the peace, “told its defeat”.
That is, to point out to the patient the nature of the disease, causes, hazards, etc., to draw the patient’s attention to the disease, so that the patient has a correct understanding of the disease and attitude. No matter what the cause of the dream of sadness and crying patients actually attach great importance to their own lives, the evil death and happy life is a common feeling, human nature, so “told its defeat” can have a deterrent effect on the patient psychologically.
Li, female, 29 years old, a new mother, was first diagnosed on March 23, 2000. One month after delivery, she was frightened by a burglar entering her house at night, and at that time she lost urine in her bed, which led to palpitations, dizziness, dizziness, waist pain and heavy fall, alarm at the sound, sweating, dreaming, crying with tears. On examination, the patient is mentally weak, the extremities are not warm, the tongue is pale, the tongue coating is thin and white, and the pulse is sunken and weak. The disease is caused by fright and fear injuring the kidney. The liver and kidney are of the same origin and intersect with the heart. The liver and kidney are deficient in qi, the heart and kidney do not intersect, the liver does not hide the soul, and the spirit is not guarded. The proposed treatment is to enlighten with words, condemnation of the life of peace; tonify the kidney and nourish the liver, tranquilize the soul. Radix et Rhizoma Polygonati 10g, Cinnamon 3g, Radix Rehmanniae 30g, Rhizoma Polygonati 30g, Rhizoma Polygonati 15g, Radix Astragali 30g, Rhizoma Polygonati 15g, Rhizoma Polygonati 30g, Rhizoma Polygonati 10g, Rhizoma Polygonati 6g, Rhizoma Polygonati 15g, Rhizoma Polygonati 15g. After taking 15 doses, although the dream was not sad, woke up and went back to sleep, the original formula then into the retreat after 20 doses, all the evidence is lost. After one year follow-up, she was in good health and her mother and child were safe.
The patient was a new mother, who was frightened and neglected to nurse her child, resulting in a thin and small body. In response to this situation, the author said: “The loss of property can be recovered, but the loss of your son is difficult to recover. Your illness is not only not beneficial to your son, but also harmful to your son, your son is not more dependent on it?
Some of these young mothers worry that they will not be able to cope with the postpartum period, that they will not be able to take care of their children, and that they will not be able to bring happiness to their children; some of them even have a sense of guilt, thinking that they will bring their children into the world only to suffer and have little future, and they may even have thoughts of committing suicide or ending their children’s lives. At this time, a little care and help from others can relieve the mother’s helplessness and help them overcome their depression and feel that things are not as bad as she thinks they are. For those patients who are sensitive and under great psychological pressure, the danger of their negative psychological state to their parents and children should be specified, so that they can more consciously cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
4.Enlightenment and enlightenment, “open to their suffering”
That is, to release the patient’s negative psychological state, put down unnecessary burden of thought, overcome the inner distress, anxiety and tension, and further specifically help the patient to release emotional disorders, behavioral disorders and related physical disorders.
Zou, female, 35 years old, a salesman, was first diagnosed on July 11, 2003. After a tubal cyst surgery in February of the previous year, she always felt that her body was not as good as before and her husband was no longer as considerate as he used to be, so she suspected that her husband was unfaithful, which led to frequent quarrels. Although she knew that her suspicions were unfounded, she could not control herself and became so depressed that she became insomniac, had many dreams, had pain in her ribs, and had irregular menstruation. Recently, I have been angry with my husband over trivial matters, and I have difficulty sleeping at night, and I wake up with nightmares and tears after barely falling asleep. She complained that she had similar symptoms several times in the past two years, and that her dreams were about other people losing their trust. He has a light red tongue, thin white tongue fur, and a stringent pulse at the mouth of the inch. The evidence is caused by liver qi stagnation, dysfunctional sparing and discharging, unrest in the meridian qi, qi depression and soul unrest, the proposed treatment is to enlighten with words, enlightenment; dredge the liver to relieve depression and calm the soul. After 5 doses, the chest tightness and pain were relieved, and the night sleep was not disturbed by dreams, but no sadness and crying. The former prescription was modified to consolidate the therapeutic effect, and after 20 doses, all the symptoms were calmed down, and the patient was advised to take Prosperity Pill and recovered.
The patient was worried about her physiological discomfort after gynecological surgery, which gradually led to the onset of psychological “inferiority complex”. Because of the “low self-esteem”, she always assumed that her husband despised her and would never love her as he did before, and gradually believed in herself later, but never verified whether her husband really despised her. This subjective negative conclusion makes her disappointed and depressed in her consciousness, which makes her more prone to antagonism and disputes in the couple’s relationship. After the patient realized the relationship between the “low self-esteem” psychology and her current illness, she became emotionally stable and came to the clinic with her husband several times later.
Conclusion.
According to the Nei Jing, the main reason for dreaming and crying with sadness is that the evil guest is in the lung. “When the lung is full of qi, weeping and grief” (Suwen? (The Essence of the Pulse), “When lung qi is strong, dreams of fear and weeping fly” (Ling Shu? The lung is the master of qi, which is the reservoir of qi.) The lung is the main source of qi, which is the reservoir of the spirit, and in the will is worry. Insufficient positive qi and strong evil qi make the lung unstable and easily produce emotional and mental changes of sadness, which are easily seen in dreams and weeping.
Other emotional changes can also affect the relevant internal organs of the human body, leading to imbalance of yin and yang, abnormal qi flow, disturbance of the soul, and the development of dreams and weeping. For example, among the “Five Wills”, “Thinking” is the will of the spleen, and it is not uncommon in clinical practice for excessive thinking to lead to qi stagnation, which in turn leads to a deficiency of both the heart and the spleen, resulting in restless dreams and sleep. However, Si belongs to the cognitive process in modern psychology: Si can be generated by “worry” when one anticipates or experiences a certain unsatisfactory event; it can also be generated by “sadness” when one is overwhelmed by feelings of grief and anger; it can also be generated when one tries to escape or escape from a dangerous state because one’s safety is threatened. It can also arise after the “panic” of trying to get rid of or escape from some dangerous state; it can also arise after the “anger” and “depression” of thinking due to the blocking and suppression of desires and needs.
Dreams are usually thought to be generated by people’s “daytime thoughts and nighttime dreams”. The Eastern Han thinker Wang Chong, when analyzing the psycho-psychological factors of dreaming, believed that dreaming at night is not the work of ghosts and gods, but is due to the transformation of mental activities during the day. “The essence of the thoughts of the thought, or leaked in the eyes, or leaked in the mouth. Or leak in the ears. Leak in the eyes, the eyes see its shape; Leak in the ears, the ears hear its sound; Leak in the mouth, the mouth speaks its matter. Day is the ghost to see, the evening sleep is dreaming and hearing, alone in an empty room, if there is fear, then dream of the lady according to its body crying.” Wang Chong’s case recorded in the “Analects of Heng” suggests that because people concentrate on certain events or are troubled by certain emotions for a long time when they are awake, it is possible to experience them in dreams during sleep. The so-called “essence thinking” means that people often think about something when they are awake and are filled with some kind of imagination or hope. There are some patients who dream and cry with sadness, and even after waking up, they can’t let go of what happened in the dream state, and they can’t stop thinking about it, and they are “suspicious” and can’t extricate themselves from it.
For the treatment of emotional diseases, Zhu Zhenheng stressed that “the fire of the five will, because of the seven emotions, …… should be personnel control, not medicine and stones can be treated, must be diagnosed by to level the.” (Danxi Xinfa). (Danxi Xinfa) Miao Xiyong in the “Classic of Materia Medica” more clearly pointed out that “to know to dispel knowledge, to reason to dispel emotions, this is the heart disease will also be the heart medicine to cure the so-called.” Therefore, under the guidance of the general outline of evidence-based treatment, for the treatment of dreaming and weeping, in addition to the treatment with Chinese herbal medicine in the prescription of the theory and method, it is necessary to use the method of verbal enlightenment, treating the mind and body together, transferring the emotions and opening the depression, and seeking the “root” of the disease.
The method of verbal guidance is a psychological treatment method in which the doctor uses language as the main means to talk with the patient to make him understand the reasoning related to the disease and the efforts he can make to eliminate the psychological barriers on his own initiative. The first two steps are aimed at reaching a doctor-patient relationship suitable for treatment and mobilizing the patient’s subjective initiative; the last two steps are layers of depth, contact, cutting into the problem and solving it. On the premise of a good doctor-patient relationship, through verbal communication, the patient understands that as long as she or he can actively cooperate with the treatment, the prognosis of her or his condition will develop in the direction of “good”, so as to help her or him establish confidence in overcoming the disease. Only in this way, the doctor’s role can be combined with the patient’s internal dynamic role, so that the verbal guidance to play a role.
