Pollen allergy gone!

I have had spring tree pollen allergy, a break, and then grass pollen allergy every year since I was a teenager. I have been taken over the counter medicine for like a month when it hits.

This year I have taken none! The spring tree pollen I didn't feel at all. When grass pollen hit with a huge peak I felt it a bit, but ignored it. It went away. People around me still suffering and have to take pills and nasal spray (cortisone something I guess).

I strongly believe this is a result of my TMS work. 90% of back pain, hip pain etc gone. Now pollen allergy symptoms reduced 90%. What a progress!

I´m also still completely caffeine free. Will soon be a year of that! Another thing worth celebrating!

 

Congrats. Congrats!

 

Hey, did you have further improvements?

 

What TMS work worked for you?

 

I have not had further improvements. I would say I´m on average still 90% better but sometimes flaring up with some TMS issues due to life pressures. That´s why I´m back now on the forum. Would love to improve some more.

Still I think its quite good considering I´m in the years of most life pressure (young kids, moved to new city, new job etc.), but would love to handle it even better. If I write down my life on a paper I have achieved more than I thought and I´m very proud, but I´m probably pissed off by all the responsibilities. I don´t always want to be masculine, responsible and a rock. Maybe I want to be dependent, lazy and blow off steam?!

 

- Structural Educational Program. Journaling "crazy" feelings without a filter and burning it up after. Crying and screaming while doing it (or however you really feel your emotions). Or shaking/shills to get rid of fear.
- Willingness to face emotions towards close people that are not what I "want".
- Having a friend I can call that do the same journaling and I can talk unfiltered with without him thinking I'm crazy.
- Having a Wife that understand that feelings are not truth. Sometimes things needs to be aired and then they disappear.
- Dream journaling to dream more, and sometimes Lucid Dreaming (getting conscious in your dream). You can face shit in your dreams to integrate.

 

90% better is still an incredible feat, especially over the course of several years!

I'm super curious about how lucid dreaming has helped you. I sometimes lucid dream, but it's inconsistent and I can't always tap into it. How did you begin using this to decrease your symptoms, and how do you approach this in your dreams?

 

If I become lucid in a nightmare or semi-nightmare I am kind to the monsters or whatever is making me afraid and face them.

Example 1 (success) : I´m chased by a human-sized spider. I see some feature of my house being totally wrong and understand I´m dreaming and become lucid. I turn around and face the spider, tell him he is cute, kind and hugs it. The spider transform to something else. I wake up with relief and feel really good the whole day. Interpretation: Something integrated (no idea what).

Example 2 (semi-success, fear wins): I´m playing in my childhood yard and put my hand in the grass. My hand gets a stabbing pain. A big field mouse is eating on my hand. Its eyes looks like pure evil. Something makes me lucid and I´m like "this can't be fucking real". I pet it on its head and asks what it wants. Everything turns dark. I get afraid. But not enough to stop. I say to the darkness that I want to know more. I get chills in my body and my nervous system pulsates. I get teleported into a room with a big film screen showing something I cant see. There is a strong vibrating sound around the whole room. Like something is about to implode. Its very scary. I´m afraid. Even though I´m lucid, I get afraid of dying. I can't take it. I want to wake up. I wake up scared as shit. Interpretation: I integrated something, and then got close to facing something really important and key in my unconscious. But fear won this time. Since I´m feeling really strong emotions when I wake up, I think this kind of work can be helpful.

I´m rarely lucid, but it does happen now and then when I put in the work. Like write down all my dreams and put an intention before I go to sleep that I want to dream etc.

Lucid dreaming is not my main TMS work but I think it can be helpful to dig up repressed shit. I don't try to interpret what a spider or similar represent. I just try to face my dream "demons" and transform/integrate.
