Hello!

Can't believe I found this posting again.

I had one of those aha! moments this morning. Of course this has nothing to do with my relationship - not!

I've been having dreams of being in tight elevators for about a year. Had one again last night: I'm going up and down in one, alone, and keep waiting for it to open at various floors. It seems to be having problems. There is a delay in the door opening. It does open but then I'm in it again.

In the dreams there are sometimes other people in the elevator. The thing is - I never show my fear, never panic outwardly, I always get on even though I'd really rather not. My behavior is very passive. I just quietly worry and hold my breath. I do all this as though I have no choice.

My big realization was seeing the similarities to the old bird dreams: not showing fear, going along with what I think I'm supposed to do, the power is outside myself, feeling as though I can't breathe very well.

[One thing is that, in fact, I can't breathe too well. I've been very congested for quite a while and can't breathe through my nose. Sometimes I wake up struggling to breathe. I also have a little adult asthma.]

The dreams have started to become reality this summer. I'm leary on elevators, the subway. I'm becoming claustrophobic. Of course, I am having actual trouble breathing.

Apparently Hahneman (sp?) predates elevators so my homeopath has been trying different remedies and on the mental/emotional level I've been doing very well. Now I'm back on Pulsatilla since monday.

Don't worry, I will definitely talk to him but what I'm wondering is; Nat Mur undid my bird dreams and phobia (this was with another homeopath), could it be so simple that that's what will help again? It's a very similar experience.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Contenta

Kent-Schment! Murphy's Repertory is currently on sale for $62.50!

Heaven help any enthusiastic beginner in homeopathy who is handed Kent's Repertory! Not only is it totally out of date, but you need a tour guide to get through it! Murphy's Repertory is totally alphabetical, everything is where you'd expect it to be, there's new chapters--Emergency, Children, Pregnancy, Food, just to name a few. Now all I have to do is dig up Murphy's fax number, or phone number, which I gave to Barb, so maybe she has it. Where did I put it?.... AAAAAAH!

Dear Contenta,

Sorry I missed your question. Yes, it's definitely possible that Nat-mur could help you again--it's there under Mind, fear, claustrophobia, fear in narrow spaces; nat-mur's are definitely people who don't complain and hate to cause a scene and try to act dignified.

Snoopy - Nat Mur can be horrid to their family!!!! They will insult them and then shut up and give them the silent treatment!! I have found that there is a big element of control in the remedy.Nat Mur presents in so many ways. i give a lot of the stuff. They say it is because the UK is an Island that there are a lot of Nat Mur people!! The think that always gets me thinking of this remedy is if the person is closed - like they've put a wall up. I know this can also be Thuja but Thuja presents very differently. I know I have a Thuja with me when I don't get eye contact. They speak to the wall or the window!!!

But Ricky, what can we say if Nat-m. helped her before? Can we argue with her vital force?

Gee Snoopy, thanks for your faith in me!
One thing for sure; I'm not capable of the silent treatment!

Hi Contenta,

Why did you stop taking the Nat Mur? Your homeopath must have had a reason for switching. My guess is that, as you said, the theme in the dream didn't really change--just the content did! However, some of your symptoms must have. That indicates that the Nat Mur was a good remedy--partially curative--that pushed you further into your state. When the symptoms changed, the remedy changed: but the mental state reflected in your dreams remained unaddressed by the Nat Mur.

It is a remedy which does everybody some good, you know--because it is fundamentally a very "human" remedy. But it doesn't cure everyone. What was the remedy given to follow the Nat Mur?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> you have discovered something I found out only after a year of prescribing for patients, that is that when on the right remedy, patients dream quite intensely and vividly. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Dear David,
If that is true, I'm getting better!
I'm on a kali-phos remedy (remember my case?) and most of my dreams are intense, not like nightmares but very alive and real. Sometimes I feel like I can realise that I'm dreaming and try to create my own story in the dream. But after the excitement of the moment, I wake up
I don't know but I feel that somehow everything is connected with our healing process. Even dreaming.

I was once given Merc, and had a dream where the homeopath told me it was the right remedy and I smiled and said, well, no... then woke up into a whole lot of Merc symtoms I'd never had and had to be antidoted. So I love the dreams I get after remedies too, they can really tune in. Nat Mur always made me dream of robbers!
