    mixed things up and for the first time in my life, I was even wearing 2 different shoes

    Comment:

    (remedy has been proven 19 days ?? has been taken 19 days??)

  • E.R., female prover:

    No physical symptoms (tested medication for 14 days)

    Proving summary:

    What was striking in this medical trial was how conscientious the volunteer testers were when they recorded their

    symptoms. Particualarly noticeable was the field within which the trial of the medication took place, or one could say

    the strange side effects, which the medication created around itself. Of all the trials Ive participated in, none have ever

    dragged on for such a long time. For different reasons, volunteers wished to put off taking the medication, so that the

    last protocol was handed in on.Nov. 30th 1996.

    Our final meeting with the test volunteers was planned for December 20th 1996. One test volungteer had, in the

    meantime, moved to England; therefore neither her symptoms nor her dreams could be discussed.

    On December 19th, 1996, my colleague, wha had taken over the individual discussions with a part of the volunteer

    group prior to the final meeting, rang me. She was very confused and with a guilty conscience, told me she had

    completely forgotten to arrange these individual meetings and had also failed to inform anybody about the date of the

    final meeting. Ive known my colleague for 14 years and she has always been a completely reliable and responsible

    person.

    I also forgot to inform one of the volunteers.

    We met finally on December 20th, 1996 and eahc tried to capture for hi or herself the mood that we had experienced

    throughout the trial. We were united over three qualities:

    Confusion, bewilderment, forgetfulness.

    PROVING DREAMS

    The provers elaborated on their dreams and discussed their associations and feelings

    Dream 1:

    I am with a man in a coffee-bar, it is a strange place, smoky, a bit dirty, some game machines are standing around. I

    cannot remember that there were other guests. My mother is coming together with my sister after a while, we all leave

    this bar, it was too nasty for my mother (CP),

    Comment:

    My mother represents cleanliness, the dreamer and her sister are nasty, smoky. The mother part, her clean part,

    asserts itself, but C.P. is not happy about it, is cross and does not want to be good.

    Dream 2:

    I dreamt about a colored woman in a bar, she was dancing and was exposing her beautiful body (CP attractive,

    seductivr- theme of snakes

    Comment:

    Again the location in the dream is a bar, a public place. The dancing of the colored woman is associated with s trengtjh,

    beauty and self confidence.

    Dream 3:

  • I am in a big room, I have to leave it, someone is following me, (persecution: theme of snakes). I am rushing along the

    corridors and rooms, J. and M. (her kids) turn up, I have to save them, as everyone with African trace will be

    eliminated. Why J. and M.? I can save them (C.P.)

    Comment:

    That which is still young, forceful, beautiful, proud and self- confident (this is the association to the colored woman) is

    endangered, The pursuers are strange men, an undefined part of the Animus which wants to eliminate the above

    qualities.

    _________________________________________________________________________________________

    __________

    H.M.

    Dream 1:

    I am meeting my relatives, many people around. They are telling that my father is already dead, although this message

    has not yet been confirmed. He had cancer and other diseases. I have not seen him for years, I imaginge how wasted

    away he must be. Then I am in a crowded underground train, on my way to his funeral. I am glad to see some relatives

    there, as I dont know where and when the funeral will take place. I think that it is important to conastantly repeat this

    sentence to myself: he was a good father. But I am not absolutely sure if this makes really sense (H.;M.)

    Dream 2:

    I am in the hay- loft on the farm of my grandparents. I think that I dont want to work there as M.D. because these

    rooms belong to my father and the walls would cave in, as they are not firm enough. I am asked to move my working

    place to the living room of the farm, into the corner where my grandfather used to take his afternoon nap on the sofa

    and where he died. (H.M.)

    Dream 3:

    I am lying in bed with my father and my sister. It bothers me that my father is lying there, it bothers me that he does not

    want to sleep with his wife. I search around the house and look up the plants of the house, to see if I can find a room

    just for me somewhere, but I cannot find such a place. My mother is lying in the bedroom, but she looks away from

    me. Suddenly U. arrives; she vrawls into my mothers nightdress and laughs impartially. I have a great aversion to my

    mother and dont want to come one step closer. I think that U. is completely different to her, and she has a compeltely

    different past history or else she would not be able to treat my mother so impartially.

    Dream 4:

    I am in the new university building somewhere in the upper floors, I cant orient myself and blunder through the rooms,

    even though my parents and my sister and other relatives also seem to live here. The car, which I inherited from my

    father is parked down below in the street. I know, that a being has been stabbed to death and is in the boot of the car,

    but it is unclear whether or not it is human. I dread going down and having a look. I know that I should do it. My mother

    should go with me, but she has vansished. I look for a staircase that goes down. Somewhere gthe sentence comes

    up: Does the murderer come from the family?

    Comment:

    H.M. was stuck by the fact that she dreamt about her father. She could not remember if she had dreamt about him

    before. He was very important to her, the only one who showed any interest in her. She always tried hard to please

    him. H.M. felt herself responsible for him and took over her mothers role. She described her father as being inwardly

    torn, passionate, socially engaged, sadistic and depressed. He had difficulty making friends. She had felt not much

    more than distance when he died 10 years ago.

    The Boa- induced dream of her father seemed to warn her to land in the paternal area. The room or the area to

    which the internal father belongs, is not very strong, the walls could cave in. Also, the father aspect is too close, not

  • where it belongs, at the side of his wife. So near, that there is no room for her own personal space, no room for me

    alone. (the unsolved part which is still connected with the parents cannot unfold, through this the danger arises that

    the murderer could even be one in the own family??)

    In the boot of the car, which she has inherited from her father is lying a corpse. Also here, going towards the paternal

    is loaded. I dread going down and having a look, I know that I should do it. It was discovered a few months later that

    the test volunteer had (breast)cancer (like her father). During the clinical trial, the unconsciousness of the volunteer

    was trying to warn her and make her aware that there was somethingdespite her dread--- that she should look at.

    U.S.

    Dream 1:

    A young woman comes to a consultationlots of red spots on her face. She is suspicious, has already had an

    expensive treatment for cellulite that has not helped. She shows me her thigh, and I see theat her whole body is

    coverred with a rash. She is one of two daughters; their parents spoil them; she is very imperious. There is a box full

    of little chocolates for children. My colleague gives an old lady a little chocolate and the young patient immediately

    demands more.

    Comment:

    By cellulite the main quality of the medication, the FAT of the BOA is represented. Suspicion, greed, egocentricity,

    the imperious behaviour of a spoilt daughter (the dream emphasizes the daughterly lack of independence)

    Dream 2 (2. day)

    A large department store like a shopping mall, crowds are moving along long corridors, I want to go to a lecture on

    esotericismI follow signs, come to a big lecture room with endless rows of seats, quite a lot of acquaintances,

    frirends and colleagues are therelots of actors appear on stage in order to introduce themselves (endless coming

    and going), I also notice very old men and trampsthe floor of the stage is very steep, upwards like a hill, completely

    uneven and bright white. I am afraid every time the young actors ( children) go past it, that they will fall in.

    Comment:

    The danger of falling from a steep, uneven, bright white stage of an esoteric performance is not about real life but

    rather about acting. The bright white, purity, underlines the distance from eartly life in which there are very old men

    (fraility, transitory nature of life) and tramps (homeless, a nearly unnoticed group on the edge of society).

    Dream 3 (day 2):

    Scene in a hospital, a night shift, I am cleaning my teeth in the ward, a nurse lends me a toothpaste replacement.

    Comment:

    The cleaning of the already white teeth stands strongly in juxtaposition to working in the darkness of the night. This

    time the aspect of darkness is present; the other pole of the two opposites dark and light

    Dream 4 ( 3.day):

  • A big, empty room with a wooden floor, which should be clean, but a thick, feathery, bright white layer of dust covers it.

    The window is open, the wind blows white curtains and also whirls the dust around, which looks like flower pollen ( I am

    annoyed about the dirt, but nevertheless I feel good, because the whirling dust looks so beautiful).

    Comment:

    The pure white becomes dirty white; the opposites are mixing with each other, a dynamic from ooutside is forcing its

    way in, the dust is whirling around which feels good to the dreamer.

    Dream 5 ( day 3)

    A big house, partly, I want to get in through the terrace door with something wide ( a wheelchair), but it is not possible.

    On my way home it is dark and the wide road is full of mud. I keep sinking in with my thin shoes; cars with dazzling

    white headlights drive past and splash me, I turn round and desperately seek a bus stop, but I dont find one, I stop by

    a school building and wait.

    Comment:

    The other polethe dark onesinking in mud; the dazzling white does not make me lighter, but makes me darker,

    splashes me even more. In the previous dream there was the metaphor of dust, which in itself contained the

    aesthetically beautiful, the white, and here as well the dazzling white is connected to soiling.

    Dream 6, (day 5):

    Many doctors are standing around me, I am inappropriately dressed ( everyone else is dressed in white, I am in green

    with damaged gloves and without a mask), with words and gestures they doubt my knowledge, they find I have not

    been washed sterile enough, I am standing in the operating theatre; befor I begin, I see a patient who has just been

    operated on and ask myself if it all has any meaning. (Pat.2: feeling of not belonging, I am not as usualdressed

    properly, not enough white, do I know enough? Ambition, have I learned enough? )

    (feeling of not being acknowledged, of being shut out, treated with contempt, ridiculed, helpless feeling).

    Comment:

    Here white represents correct or normal in the defining context of the doctors standing around because for

    them it is normal to be dressed in greend in the operating theatre. Ther relativity of correct and wrong, clean

    enough, not white enough, I wont be acknowledged. The color white worn on the outside is treated by the

    doctors as the same as the white of the knowledge; someone who is white is someone who knows ( in German,

    white and knowledge are represented by the same word ich weiss und weiss) -- but the actual event, the

    operation, seems already to have taken place, independent of the discussion over form and content.

    E:

    Dream ( day 13)

    I must have slept too late, because it is 9:30 a.m. and the kids are still at home, I want to write them a note for school

    but dont manage it, I keep making mistakes and have to start again. At last, I finish the note for my son, but the note

    for my daughter is horribly smudged. Then I have to take the dogs somewhere, on the other side of the city. I go on

    the bus and know that I am in any case going to arrive too late. It does not particualrly upset me, although I normally

    have a tendency to be over- punctual.

    Comment:

  • Frittering away, wasting time, making mistakes

    Dream (day 18)

    I am preparing a snack for the kids, and I am annoyed that they have already been taking too much time and it is too

    late. A group discussion is taking place about patients who are terminally ill with cancer and pain therapy, that is to say

    how these people can live a normal life for as long as possible. I say that such patients certainly exist, whereby I

    receive the reply that there were no one of them in the TV- program of yesterday.

    F:

    Dream 1 ( day 2):

    I am in the protestant church in Melk. Contrary to all reality this church is built like a lecture hall, the altar is below and

    steps lead down to the benches. For an unknown reason I go down to the altar. There I discover that between the

    level of the altar and the first step, there is a gap the width of a hand. I am amazed that the protestant priest has not

    noticed this and has not done something about it. I put it down to his transcendental transfiguration.

    Comment:

    The gap is reminding me of the deep precipice towards the seats, a crack, a cleft between esotheric performance

    (D, 2.day) and the altar on the one hand and the lecture room and the fist step in the church on the other hand.

    Dream 2 (day 2)

    A lovely dream of a tree- lined road, which is partly still in deep snow, but it was about to become autmn. I was lying

    with my face in leaves of wonderful rust and orange colors and was amazed that the leaves were pressed so flat on

    the ground. It was beautiful and everything smelt so intensely of earth and autumn. I noticed, that it had never occurred

    to me how beautiful autumn actually is (especially as I often dream of snow).

    Comment:

    As if the dreamer were gliding along the ground llike a snake, equipped with the highly developed sense of smell of

    BOA, at the time of the year when autumn changes into winter.

    Dream 3 (day 5):

    I am dreaming of 2 people whom I hardly know, where the husband never tells the wife where he is going, because

    the wife had once betrayed him; she was very sad and in despair, she always wanted to know where he went and what

    he did. Only when she was behaving well, he did tell her.

    Comment:

    Jealousy, to be betrayed, to have to be good

    Dream 4 (day 9):

  • I dream that it is autumn again, the fields are in orange and brown tones and I gallop over lang meadows. With many

    friends a lot of changes took place, e.g. structural changes inside the house I wondered, because partly there were

    people I know, who had become very lazy.

    Comment:

    Something is starting to stir internally and is making an active change to prevent laziness.

    Dream 5 ( day 11):

    I dreamt that someone was torturing people, but it appeared to be that it was a Public Day of the Universe. I ran onto a

    grassy hill and thought that I could not stand this any longer, and screamed a long, primeval scream; and because it

    felt so good, I did it some more, then I felt much better; but lots of people ran to me and thought something had

    happened. I turned around and said: you dont notice what happens anyway. I disappeared through a door with a

    long corridor and behind this corridor, there was a wonderful fruit garden with lots of nice people, a few of them were

    even my friends.

    Dream 6 (day 15)

    A woman in leggings and with pimples and greasy hair (but clever and preying on business people) told me that she

    had just bought herself a christening gown for her birth. (Birth or Change often is expressed in dreams through

    skinning of snakes). She quickly pulled it over her head and looked stunning. It was a stretchy dress (like a new skin in

    snakes) with a cut-away back and slit up the side and an enormous pointed collar in white like a fairy butterfly

    Comment:

    It seems as if the christening gown would bring about the re-birth of seductive womanliness and delicate butterfly- like

    eroticisms in a formerly badly presented, calculating woman.

    H.

    Dream 1 (day 1):

    Carnival: I am dressed in three layers: two shirts (one is orange, the other is white)), two skirts (one is beige, the other

    orange) and thick socks. I go into a bar everybody has something with grey and blue stripes on -- lots of black haired

    men with gel in their hair.

    Comment:

    Again the opposite colors; multiple clothing, ritualized deception Carnival. My things are bright those of the others

    are dark. ( Pat.2: I am unusual).

  • Dream 2 ( day 1):

    We are playing a game about food.

    Dream 3 (day 1):

    I want to put make-up on stand in front of the mirror and I look completely different, smaller eyes, hardly any

    eyebrows ( I have thick ones) and swollen eyes. The make-up is running.

    Dream 4 ( day 2):

    With my sister I was at a film recording my sister performs acrobatics. The actor is a king. There is a princess and a

    mother of the princess. The palace could explode ( the explosive dynamic in a parent- daughter- relation).

    Comment:

    The dreams of H. turn around dressing up and play, although at the same time, play can be dangerous, danger of

    explosion.

    Dream 5 ( day 2).

    Something in a bar at night my sister is chatting with a man she has a short dark blue dress on. Afterwards she

    goes to the university. She had breakfast there. I think I would also like to have a dress like that.

    Comment:

    This dream is like C.P.s first dream the bar, the sister. Envy is clearly implied in this dream; the sister is being

    envied. Perhaps she is the naughty one in her short, dark blue dress?

    Dream 6 ( day 3)

    I dreamt a lot about food. In the classroom, chocolate is thrown here and there, scrapping over it.
