Dreams occur when the Mind and/or Ethereal Soul (Hun) wander at night. Excessive dreams can be due to a deficiency of Blood or Yin, as it doesn’t provide the Mind/Hun a place to reside at night. Frightening dreams can be due to a Heart & Gall Bladder deficiency. Restless dreams can be due to Heat affecting the Stomach and Heart.
The content of the dream can be a useful (and fascinating) indication of an internal imbalance. 😴🧠
