Pollen allergy gone!

[Hedger]

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!

Hey, did you have further improvements?

What TMS work worked for you?

Hey, did you have further improvements?

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?!

What TMS work worked for you?

- 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?

I'm super curious about how lucid dreaming has helped you.

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.
