(Thursday, August 21, 2025)
More and more frequently I have dream “flashes” one or two days after I have written down a dream. I have never seen this mentioned at the IASD or in dream books I have read. Maybe my new Jungian therapist will have a clue. Perhaps it is related to the change in my functioning mind. Or it is an opening of the veil/unconscious at this winter time of life. I suppose it doesn’t matter to have a definition, an understanding, but these quick visions make me curious. They last less than a second. The flashes fill my entire brain with detailed imagery and give my body a strong sensation.
I just had a fantasy that these quick visions are healing. Who knows. They are either healing or symptoms of decline. I have been doing lots of Edgar Cayce research into his readings on dementia. The A.R.E. provides acupuncture. I am going to my acupuncture doctor today. A list of the particular acupoints that are being researched for dementia benefits are very similar to the acupoints I receive. I am going to show the research list to Dr. Yu.
My tarot card of the day is the ten of wands. That makes me think of acupuncture. Hard work, yes, is one meaning of this card, but the wands provide electrical energy, like acupoints. Years ago, Cayce suggested electrotherapy for dementia (“wet cell battery”).
Thursday afternoon:
Acupuncture had strong electrical energy today in my left temporal lobe and my hands (Dr. Yu added new needles to my hands based on the data I showed him). I just looked up where dreams are created and stored in the brain. The hippocampus and temporal lobes are two of several locations. My dementia is affected by those two lobes, especially the left temporal lobe. Maybe that has something to do with my flashes?
