SIVARAMAN P., Dreams and their
Homoeopathic Medicines
PAGE iii
Preface
Any deviation from normal health
is termed as disease. Disease is made known by signs and symptoms felt by the
sufferer and observed by others. The weaker organs will suffer more than the
others and thereby the entire person suffers, in other words, he becomes a
patient. It is a foolish idea to repair the diseased organs alone forsaking the
patient. Alteration of this morbid state can only be accomplished by an agent
which cause such a morbid state in a healthy individual. If the individual
becomes normal his organs too become so.
Disease, as said earlier, is
made known by symptoms. The homoeopath should perceive what this symptom
picture is worth. Symptoms, however insignificant may seem to the patient, may,
perhaps, be a pointer for the proper selection of the apt remedy for the
homoeopath. To get the symptom picture or totality of the symptoms, the good
homoeopath inquires in detail all the symptoms of the patient in his own
language and of attendants in their own language. Dreams are also such
symptoms. A sincere homoeopath finds guiding lights through such a symptom -
DREAMS.
“Dreams, to a homoeopath, are
often-times quite guiding”, Dr. N.M.
CHOUDHURI says. He continues. “They give us a far better insight into
the deeper nature of our patient than many of the so-called symptoms that crop
up and float on the surface to meet our
superficial gaze.
PAGE iv
It is not for nothing that
dreams differ. Some dream of accidents, other of amorous subjects, others again
off topics of varied nature - each dream in its turn specifying a particular
temperament, or more correctly a special deviation of the individual from the
normal. Important cure have been recorded, based on dreams alone. Hence a
special study of the dreams, together with their remedies, will not be out of
place.”
“The homoeopathic system of
treatment is thoroughly scientific. It encompasses the patient in his entirety.
It does not, like the other schools of treatment, regards its patient as a
conglomeration of various detached self-sufficient, autogenic units, each
working out its own salvation, independent of the central vital force, that
really stimulates, guides, protects and preserves, all the different organs in
a system of complete harmony unison. Therefore, we take into account not only
the workings and deviations of all the organs of our patient and their
functions, both normal and abnormal, but look deeper even into the thoughts,
ideas, sentiments, and even further into the unconscious and subconscious state
of our patient.”
With these humble words I place
this little volume in the hands of my homoeopathic breathern in the fond hope
that this will be of some help to them to carry out their business of curing
the sick.
