Sudden nightmare (Mengyan) refers to a state of being constrained or suppressed. It implies that during sleep, one is oppressed by demonic influences, causing the body to lie still while consciousness remains unclear. This is all due to the soul and spirit wandering outside, being seized and recorded by other pathogenic factors.
For treating deficiency and emaciation, weak heart Qi, and frequent nightmares, it is suitable to take Fushen San (Poria Cocos Powder).
Fushen (Poria with Hostwood) (1 liang), Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (1 liang, crushed), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (1 liang, honey-fried until slightly red and crushed), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) (1 liang), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) (1 liang, processed until cracked and crushed).
Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix) (1 liang, heart removed), Renshen (Ginseng Radix) (1 liang, radix tip removed), Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex) (1 liang).
The above medicines are pounded and sifted into a powder. Each dose is 5 qian. Boil in 1 da zhan (large cup) of water until reduced to 5 fen. Strain off the dregs. Take warm at any time.
For treating weak heart Qi with palpitations, mental confusion, forgetfulness, or waking from dreams with fright and nightmares, along with insufficient kidney Qi, it is suitable to take Renshen San (Ginseng Powder).
Renshen (Ginseng Radix) (radix tip removed), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix) (heart removed), Chishizhi (Halloysit Rubra), Longgu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi et Scapulae), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) (processed until cracked and crushed), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (crushed and lightly stir-fried), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (honey-fried until slightly red and crushed), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) (radix tip removed), Ziwan (Asturi Radix) (seedlings and soil removed). All above ingredients are 1 liang.
The above medicines are pounded and sifted into a powder. Each dose is 4 qian. Boil in 1 zhong zhan (medium cup) of water with 3 jujubes until reduced to 6 fen. Strain off the dregs. Take warm at any time. Take three times a day.
For treating sudden nightmare with unconsciousness and lack of awareness:
Take Zaojiao (Gleditsiae Fructus) powder, use a fine bamboo tube to blow it into both nostrils. The person will wake up immediately. It can be blown again within two or three days.
Another prescription:
Use brush hairs to prick both nostrils. For males, prick the left side; for females, the right side. Rotate and stimulate until the person wakes up.
Another prescription:
Use a reed tube to blow into both ears. Take 14 strands (two sevens) of the person's hair to make a rope, insert it into the nose. Alternatively, cut rooster comb blood and blow it into the nose using a tube.
Prescription for treating sudden nightmare:
Grind Xionghuang (Realgar) finely, and blow it into both nostrils using a reed tube. Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex) powder is also acceptable.
Another prescription:
Blow Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) powder into both nostrils. Place Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex) powder under the tongue. This is also effective.
Another prescription:
Place one qi amount of Shexiang (Moschus) near the pillow. This is preferable.
Another prescription:
Tie a piece of Xionghuang (Realgar) the size of a date pit on the left arm. This prevents nightmares and unconsciousness for life.
Another prescription:
Using a pillow made of Xijiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu) is preferable.
Another prescription:
Put Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) inside the pillow, and carrying it is also good.
Another prescription:
Mash Jiu (Allii Tuberosi Rhizoma et Bulbus), drip the juice into the nostrils. In winter, take the root juice and pour it into the mouth.
