What Health Issues Can Dreams Indicate?

Many people find dreaming to be a fascinating experience. Traditional Chinese Medicine offers an explanation for why people dream in the text "Huangdi Neijing · Ling Shu · Yin Evil Dreaming." It describes 12 conditions based on the states of Yin and Yang and the five internal organs:

• When Yin energy is abundant, one may dream of crossing vast rivers or feel fear in dreams.
• When Yang energy is abundant, one may dream of events such as houses burning down.
• When both Yin and Yang are strong, one may dream of conflict or mutual slaughter.
• When the upper jiao is strong, one may dream of flying or running.
• When the lower jiao is weak, one may dream of jumping off buildings or falling.
• If not sufficiently nourished, one may dream of acquiring essential items.
• If overly full, one may dream of giving things to others.
• Excessive liver energy might lead to dreams of anxiety and anger.
• Excessive lung energy can result in dreams of fear, crying, flying, or running.
• Excessive heart energy may produce dreams filled with laughter and fear.
• Excessive spleen energy can lead to dreams of singing, dancing, or exercising, but with a feeling of heaviness and inability to move.
• Excessive kidney energy might cause dreams involving discomfort in the waist and spine.

These twelve types of dreams can be addressed by unblocking and regulating the corresponding organ meridians. To understand the underlying principles, please continue reading:

• If chaotic Yin and Yang energy enters the "heart," one may dream of hills with smoke and fire, as the heart corresponds to fire in the five elements.
• If the evil energy enters the "lungs," one might dream of flying or seeing unusual metals, as the lungs correspond to metal in the five elements.
• If the evil energy enters the "liver," one may dream of forests and trees, as the liver corresponds to wood in the five elements.
• If the evil energy enters the "spleen," one may dream of hills and large marshes, with wind and rain, and dirt falling from the house, as the spleen corresponds to earth in the five elements.
• If the evil energy enters the "kidneys," one may dream of terrifying depths or being submerged in water, as the kidneys correspond to water in the five elements and govern fear.
• If the evil energy enters the "bladder," one may dream of traveling, as the bladder is responsible for the movement of Qi and water, facilitating travel.
• If the evil energy enters the "stomach," one may dream of food and drinks.
• If the evil energy enters the "large intestine," one may dream of fields.
• If the evil energy enters the "small intestine," one might dream of crowded urban areas.
• If the evil energy enters the "gallbladder," one may dream of legal troubles or lawsuits.
• If the evil energy enters the "genitals," one might have erotic dreams.
• If the evil energy enters the "cervical spine," one may dream of beheading.
• If the evil energy enters the "feet," one may dream of needing to walk or run but being unable to, or dreaming of being in tranquil places like temples or churches.
• If the evil energy enters the "limbs," one may dream of superstitious activities or visits from friends and relatives.
• If the evil energy enters the "bladder or rectum," one might dream of urination or defecation. If the evil energy enters the "brain," one may dream of deities, angels, or aliens.

These fifteen situations are caused by insufficient vital energy in the respective areas. So, what can you do? Simply replenish the Qi! The dialogue between Huangdi and Qibo in the "Huangdi Neijing · Ling Shu · Yin Evil Dreaming" provides clear explanations for the causes of various dreams.

If you wish to have fewer dreams, please refer to the method below:

Heart-Kidney Connection Method

Suitable for: Anyone! Especially those with heart or kidney issues, particularly women over 49 and men over 64, those with strong desires, or those whose vital energy has diminished.

Method: Lie down on your bed and place your tongue against the roof of your mouth (in the indentation behind your upper front teeth). Insert your index fingers into your ears, ensuring they block air. After regulating your breathing, use your "heart" to "listen" to your exhalation, imagining the breath flowing down to the soles of your feet. After "listening" for two to three breaths, many people will feel a contraction in the spermatic or urinary ducts and notice saliva in their mouths. Swallow the saliva and go to sleep! — The entire process should take three to five minutes. Do not overdo it!

Effects: 1. Strengthens the heart and kidneys, harmonizing water and fire in the body, thus regulating the five internal organs and reducing dreaming. 2. Changes essence into Qi.
