New Theories / Causes of Nightmare and Sleep Paralysis
« on: 23/02/2021 22:17:12 »
As Germany’s well-known psychologist William Wundt’s view of “ the most common causes of the dream are indigestion, heart pulsation(palpitations or flustered),difficulity in breathing, as well as such symptoms.” For instance, students dreaming the examination before the pre-examination, is caused by the things about examination. The sense of urgent urination would give rise to the dream of looking for the toilet. In a cold night, thin quilt would cause one to dream the clothes are socked by water and thus make him/her feel cold. When palpitations occurs, people will have two most common feelings: one is tachycardia cause a feeling of seeming to be chasing ; the other is bradycardia or premature beat cause the feeling of heart suspension or heart sinking. Therefore, people in sleep accordingly will have the two most common nightmares : one is dream of being chased (occasionally hunting other people) ; the other is dream of flying in the air or dream of falling down. Persons who palpitation is easy to occur are easy to have nightmare, drugs can cause nightmare because drugs can cause palpitation. Females are easier to have nightmare than males, because palpitation is easier occur to females than to males. Women have a huge amount of nightmares during pregnancy because women experience more palpitations in pregnancy. Physical factors that contribute to bad dreams include fever as also sleep because fever causes an increase in the heart rate. If transient cerebral ischemia or fainting occuring during the day may result in some very terrible dizziness, palpitations, feelings of chest pressure, dim vision, tinnitus and a variety of neurological symptoms. As a result, all the people who are prone to cerebral ischemia or fainting frail corporeity, excessive fear, taking the quinidine which may lead to low blood pressure, as well as a excessive high pillow ors, error in sleeping style which may lead to the aggrieved neck, pressed blood stream. when they sleep in deep night, they will have the extraordinary corresponding horrible dreams, in the dreams, they do some kind of terrible Belial pressuring them or being hunted down, but they can not cry out or escape, which is known as sleep paralysis. .For a long time, due to the ignorance of physiological knowledge of syncope , ischemie cerebrale , slow beat, fast beat and so on, psychological illusion in people’s sleep generated by such physical symptoms i.e. the nightmare really has puzzled the psychologists, therefore they put forward a wide range of wrong even absurd views onthe nightmares, which both have no scientific basis, and could not be confirmed, even more were not self-consistent. For example, a medical expert Debacke drew the correct conclusion that the anxiety-dream resulted from ischemie cerebrale according to the physiological symptoms of the anxiety-dream of a boy of thirteen. Freud called such view was a ” medical mythology” in the book of Dream Psychology. Most important,the experiment confirmed the idea. For example, a place in country , there is a “haunted” bed which makes people have sleep paralysis or syncope every night, and it is this fact that the pillow in the bed is too high will reduce cerebral blood flow. Another example, sleeping pills are the treatment of nightmare of being chased of neurasthenia, due to the nightmare of being chased of such patients is caused by tachycardia, and sleeping pills can lead to slower heartbeat, moreover slower heartbeat sometimes leads to sleep paralysis or fainting for people of low blood pressure. Therefore, treating a nightmare with sleeping pills at times is not only invalid, but also it will instead increase the patient’s state of the disease.
There are two main types of scary phenomenons in sleep(nightmare and sleep paralysis) that are caused by two main scary symptoms of cardiovascular disease {palpitation and fainting (syncope)}.

Different causes will generate different results. Motion sickness is caused by in-situ rotating motion, 3D visual movement, and low-frequency noise three main causes, with completely different symptoms. The corresponding in-situ rotating motions may cause symptoms of dizziness, 3D visual movement may cause mild dizziness, and low-frequency noise may cause nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness. That is to say rumbling low frequency noise may cause carsickness, seasickness, and airsickness.

I can tell how I think it it works in my case. I have sea sickness that occurs after about half an hour, and also if i am onboard  a  helicopter for more than 3-4 hours.
In the past I have experienced a period of chronic fatigue that made me even more sensitive to motion. I have onserve that if I played on a computer a game that I wasn't used to the motiom mechanics, I would get that sickness quite quickly. A 3d video for example can make almost anyone feel sick. Therefore, the sickness must be related to the brain. If the motion you experience doesn't match what the brains expect to happen the brain needs to learn the new mechanics. If the flow information that comes is high, I suppose that some hormones are activated that enables the brain to cope with the high demand. However, if the hormone production cannot keep upwith  the requirements the hormones levels go down and the brain cannot handle the situation well and you get sick. Now that I have passed the chronical fatigue phase, I can cope much better with things like that. The chronical fatigue was confirmed by symptoms like poor sleep during night and sleepiness during the day, slow recovery after exercise, poor digestion, joint pain, poor immunity (frequent colds),etc.
As a conclusion, it should be related to the hormone production capacity and overal endocrine strengthness.
Also if you have a problem with the inner ear for example it can cause random inputs that confuse the brain.
Your  question  has  already  been  thought  about  a  lot,  if  seasickness  is  caused  by  shaking,  then  why  until  now  there  is  no  exercise  specialist  says  that  the  cause  of  motion  sickness  have  been  found  in  the  world  is  shaking?  But  why  do  the  real  recognized  reasons  of  motion  sickness  not  be  found?  I  always  take  the  boat  with  a  big  quake,  but  I  never  have  the  feeling  of  seasickness  and  never  see  the  people  around  me  have  the  slightest  seasick  symptom.The  old  crew  on  the  sea  almost  all  the  year  round  has  said  that  the  more  shaking  the  boat  is,  the  less  possibility  to  get  seasick.  Thus  it  can  be  seen  that  seasickness  has  nothing  to  do  with  shaking  and  sports.  Ancient  Chinese  and  ancient  Greece  had  a  view  that  the  boat  sailing  on  the  sea  would  cause  nausea  when  it  met  sandstorms(Because  carsickness  and  seasickness  only  have  the  signs  of  nausea  and  vomiting  with  no  vertigo  syndromes.  Only  rotation  will  have  symptoms  of  dizziness  and  seasickness.  Carsickness  and  seasickness  with  the  symptom  of  dizziness  are  fabricated  by  experts  to  confuse  the  symptom  of  carsickness  and  seasickness  with  that  of  dizzy.)  There  is  no  saying  that  ancient  people  would  feel  nausea  when  they  took  the  shaking  carriages  with  large  turbulence,  this  is  because  the  shaking  of  ancient  carriage  is  very  violent,  but  there  is  no  engine  producing  low-frequency  noise,  that  won't  cause  carsickness.  Different  reasons  will  inevitably  lead  to  different  results.  If  the  shaking  of  boat  can  really  cause  seasickness,  so  this  kind  of  seasick  symptom  caused  by  shaking  and  seasickness  caused  by  low-frequency  noise  will  certainly  be  different,  which  can  just  prove  seasickness  has  two  reasons,  low-frequency  noise  and  shaking  that  will  cause  relevant  two  different  seasickness.  As  I  discovered  in  1992,  the  nightmare  was  caused  by  two  palpitations,  racing  heart  and  slow  beating,  which  would  correspondingly  cause  being  pursued,  attacked  and  people  flying  up  and  down.  So  seasickness  has  the  same  story  with  these  two  common  nightmares.

People get carsick on trains or subways running at the same speed when hearing low-frequency noise. Without such noise on trains or subways, carsickness can be avoided. It fully proves that low-frequency noise is the only reason that causes carsickness.

Women only seem to be more susceptible to motion sickness than men because they have better hearing.Dog more prone to motion sickness than people because dog have better hearing than people.

Roaring low-frequency noise instead of infrasound causes carsickness. Symptoms of carsickness get stronger when vehicles bump or shake more frequently, which is just a coincidence. It is just because low-frequency noise gets louder when bumping and shaking gets more serious. Without such low-frequency noise, people will not feel carsick no matter how hard the car bumps or shakes. For example, people get carsick on trains or subways running at the same speed when hearing low-frequency noise. Without such noise on trains or subways, carsickness can be avoided. It fully proves that low-frequency noise is the only reason that causes carsickness.   
     By far, there has been no effective methods or progress to solve carsickness, as a result of false and deceptive carsickness theories brought up by authorities and experts. If people can acknowledge the view that low-frequency noise leads to carsickness, then they can immediately and completely get rid of carsickness, plane-sickness, or seasickness (part of seasickness is caused by low-frequency noise from storm at sea, which is unavoidable natural disaster) caused by low-frequency noise from the engine as long as all transportation tools stop generating such noises. It is readily feasible in terms of technology. Thus, if consumers purchase cars with loud noise, which is severe quality issue, they should immediately claim compensation from car manufacturers and require them to recall for remodeling until it stops making such noises in operation. Therefore, such noises will not only cause painful carsickness, but lead to hearing loss under long stimulation from such noises.

Wow!
You came back after all this time, and ignored the evidence.
The evidence show that people who gets sick in a car usually can travel in trains or motorcycles without any discomfort at all.

Why?

Low intensity infrasound from autocar engines has been well recognised to induce car sickness - a mild serotonergic-vestibular disturbance involving nausea, giddiness, headache.

The stuff in my sickbags depends on what the victim had for breakfast, not whether the aircraft has an engine.

Part of the problem with instrument flying, yacht navigation or rear-seat car sickness is the inability of the semicircular canals to distinguish between linear acceleration and circular motion.    You can induce carsickness by stop-start driving on a straight road, and airsickness on scheduled flights or glider "dolphining"  is caused by sudden changes of pitch attitude, not turning.   

If it's all due to infrasound, why don't pilots and drivers suffer the same symptoms as their passengers? It isn't a matter of aptitude or experience - hardened drivers often throw up when navigating in rallies, and the most experienced pilots still need to swap duties with each other to avoid becoming incapacitated under competition conditions. 

The one time I had an entirely incapacitated crew was on a fairly large yacht, reaching  into an opposing tide. For about two hours, we made no progress over the ground but just pitched and rolled at random intervals in almost total silence, broken only by groans and the sound of eight experienced sailors donating their stomach contents to the sea. The only relief was to do something: taking the helm in turn, or tweaking the sheets, though the latter was completely unncessary as we had the boat pretty well trimmed anyway, but the feeling of being a bit in control or able to anticipate the next roll was very calming.

Early on in my sailing days I noticed an uncharacteristic craving for ginger biscuits. I later discovered that Chinese sailors have always used ginger as a prophylactic against seasickness, and it seems to work as well as modern molecules without inducing drowsiness. Any explanation would be welcome!
It  was  firstly  proposed  by  a  Chinese  physicist  of  acoustics  that  motion  sickness  was  caused  by  infrasound.  After  reflecting  on  this  over  and  over  again  for  years,  I  think  this  view  is  wrong.  In  my  opinion,  motion  sickness  is  supposed  to  result  from  booming  low-frequency  noise.  For  instance,  it  is  beyond  doubt  that  extremely  loud  booming  low-frequency  noise  is  always  heard  inside  vehicles  which  easily  bring  about  motion  sickness.  Inside  vehicles  without  such  noise,  motion  sickness  isn’t  caused  at  all.  In  spite  of  loud  noise  of  tractors,  people  don’t  feel  sick  inside  them  because  there  is  no  booming  low-frequency  noise.  The  key  reason  consists  in  that  the  noise  of  tractors  doesn’t  distract  people  because  they  don’t  impact  their  verbal  communications  due  to  differences  between  frequency  of  the  noise  and  people’s  voices. 
     Some  other  evidences  can  prove  that  motion  sickness  just  arises  from  the  aforementioned  noise:  People  with  good  hearing  easily  suffer  from  motion  sickness,  while  the  deaf  and  dumb  who  can’t  hear  don’t  feel  sick  inside  vehicles  at  all.  The  noise  is  louder  inside  fairly  closed  vehicles,  so  people  easily  get  sick  in  highly  closed  luxury  buses  and  cars.  The  noise  is  so  penetrating  that  motion  sickness  can’t  be  avoided  either  even  if  ears  are  covered  with  something. 
        The  cause  of  such  amazing  trick  is  medical  experts’  lack  of  knowledge  about  acoustics.  They  have  only  noticed  that  the  tractor  doesn’t  cause  motion  sickness  although  it  is  rather  noisy,  so  they  have  wrongly  concluded  that  motion  sickness  doesn’t  result  from  noise.  In  fact,  they  haven’t  discerned  that  the  noise  of  a  tractor  differs  from  the  low-frequency  noise  which  brings  about  motion  sickness.  Although  they  couldn’t  figure  out  the  cause  of  motion  sickness,  they  were  too  hasty  to  reach  a  conclusion.  As  a  consequence,  they  have  scientifically  tricked  people  that  motion  sickness  is  associated  with  many  factors  such  as  shaking,  movement  and  visual  motion.

Carsickness is caused by the motor which produces a special and rumbling low-frequency noise.
Motion sickness occurs without an engine.
Standard laboratory test to induce motion sickness is a standard office chair, subject blindfolded, chair rotated, subject told to put head back to side etc. Very rarely does this fail to bring on motion sickness. No motor.

Quote from: sgroclkc on 09/03/2017 07:54:41
Train, metro, truck, motorcycle and tractor which produce no such noise will cause no carsickness.
No so. I know people who suffer motion sickness on all of these.

If you have a theory of vibration induced sickness you need to clasify it as a separate theory from motion sickness.
The symptoms caused respectively by gyrating and carsickness are quite different. Gyrating movements will cause dizziness, while carsickness usually causes nausea or sleepiness. This is why authors of many scholar articles only state that gyrating symptoms are associated to carsickness, but the reasons behind carsickness are still unknown. Only unreliable knowledge popularizing articles say that the reason of carsickness is gyrating movements. This is not true. Actually, gyrating movements are not related to carsickness, which is actually caused by a special low-frequency noise. Only this kind of noise can cause exactly the same symptoms of carsickness. For example, even without staying on the airplane, the noise of airplane engine can also cause symptoms of carsickness. Experts of carsickness around the world all know that only noise can cause exactly the same symptoms of carsickness, but they fraud people by saying that this phenomenon is only a psychological reaction!

New Theories / Why do people have nightmares
« on: 13/11/2008 01:27:17 »

For a long time, due to the ignorance of physiological knowledge of ischemic heart, slow beat, fast beat and so on, psychological illusion in people’s sleep generated by such physical symptoms i.e. the nightmare really has puzzled the psychologists, therefore they put forward a wide range of wrong even absurd views on the nightmares, which both have no scientific basis, and could not be confirmed, even more were not self-consistent.

A person with a heart disorder ever had a nightmare of falling from high, and he conceived it was a fierce boding, so he had no peace of mind day and night, unexpectedly, at last he jumped from a 11-Story building to his death. A fugitive murderer, fled in two years, he surrendered to the police because of the psychological stress due to the unbearable illusion of as if being hunted all day long, and had nightmare all the night that the slain captured the fetch. In fact, these two nightmares are caused by premature beat or slow beat or fast beat, and they are “One dreams at qnight what one thinks in the day”

The reasons for the dreams are very simple, viz. they are the reactions of the objective things in the minds. As Germany's well-known psychologist William Wundt’s view of “the most common causes of the dream are indigestion, heart pulsation (palpitation or flustered), difficulty in breathing, as well as such symptoms." Psychologist A Moree after a rigorous study also pointed out that: "The dream is the organism having a misunderstanding of the emotional perception, for example, the noisy at night when sleep will cause a dream of sound of thunder. For instance, students dreaming the examination before the pre-examination, is caused by the things about examination, and dreams about urgency of urine are caused by the sense of urgency of urine after sleep. By the same token, the nightmare is caused by the sense of hear throb such as fast beat, slow beat. For instant, if a certain heartbeat occurs in frequency in the night, it will cause phenomena of insomnia with iterative dreamlands. The heart throb in nightmare will be stronger than daytime, which is the same as the phenomena that early in the disease, some people can not feel the slight discomfort during daytime, but they can feel it in the dream, because in sleep, the incitements that the brain receiving from the outside world are largely reduced, so the incitements from inner become comparatively stronger.

When palpitation or flustered occurs, people will have two main feelings: one is tachycardia cause a feeling of seeming to be pursuing (TCM: tachycardia, watchful as if he was being pursuing); the other is bradycardia or premature beat cause the feeling of heart suspension or heart sinking. Therefore, people in sleep accordingly will have the two nightmares of being pursued (occasionally hunting other people) and hanging in the air, and falling down. If transient cerebral ischemia occuring during the day may result in some very terrible dizziness, palpitations, feelings of chest pressure, dim vision, tinnitus and a variety of neurological symptoms. As a result, all the people who are prone to cerebral ischemia frail corporeity, excessive fear, taking the quinidine which may lead to low blood pressure, as well as a excessive high pillow ors, error in sleeping style which may lead to the aggrieved neck, pressed blood stream, when they sleep in deep night, they will have the extraordinary corresponding horrible dreams, in the dreams, they do some kind of terrible Belial pressuring them or being hunted down, but they can not cry out or escape, which are called nightmare in iatrology. Vague terrors in light sleep, which is known as sleep paralysis. Sometimes people was just woken up with the cerebral ischemia, be cause the vision continuing for a few minutes and dyskinesia have not yet concluded, which will cause psychological illusion that people struggle to wake up but fail to do it. For instance, a place in country, there is a "haunted" bed which makes people have nightmares every night, and it is this fact that the pillow in the bed is too high. Psychological distress during the day will cause being frightened due to a very small voice. In the cause of insomnia which due to the mental stress, and changing the sleep style constantly, people sometimes suddenly as if heard a loud noisy them have the nightmare. It is obvious that the loud noisy is generated by the friction in the process of changing the sleep style. In normal times, such a "bang" which has turned a deaf ear to the people, sometimes will become very terrible when mental stress. Another example, sleeping pills are the treatment of nightmare of neurasthenia, due to the nightmare of such patients is caused by tachycardia, and sleeping pills can lead to slower heartbeat, moreover slower heartbeat sometimes leads to cerebral ischemia for people of low blood pressure. Therefore, treating a nightmare with sleeping pills at times is not only invalid, but also it will instead increase the patient's state of the disease.
 
In short, all of the things are experienced in the dreams are the experienced things which are in people’s minds during the day. No one will feel afeared and mysterious because he suddenly thinks of a person who had been dead for many years during the day, similarly, no one will feel mysterious and specially afeared because of low beat or fast beat, likewise there is no need to feel mysterious and specially afeared because of the sudden nightmare due to low beat or fast beat.

 Space motion sickness is caused by the infrasonic or the noise of low frequency,too.Of instance,the power of the engine of Mercury and Gemini is small that the infrasonic or noise of Mercury and Gemini is small.So,Mercury and Gemini space flight astronauts did not experience space motion sickness.

A rocking boat or a bumpy airplane do lead to the motion sickness is coincidence,the greater a rocking boat or a bumpy airplane ,the greater the infrasonic of boat or airplane
A symptom of rotation motion sickness is different distinct from carsickness, seasickness and airsickness,so it is certain rotation motion sicknesshave nothing to do with carsickness, seasickness and airsickness
A symptom of rotation motion sickness is different distinct from carsickness, seasickness and airsickness,so it is certain rotation motion sickness have nothing to do with carsickness, seasickness and airsickness
For instance, carsickness, seasickness and airsickness all has a symptom of drowsiness,rotation motion sickness has not a symptom of drowsiness,rotation motion sickness has a symptom of rotation feeling ,carsickness, seasickness and airsickness all has not a symptom of rotation feeling .
