Sleepwalking or sleepwalking [Xiangya Medical Dictionary]
3 Chinese medicine sleepwalking is a symptom name [1]. It refers to the performance of getting up and walking unconsciously in sleep, or engaging in certain activities, and knowing nothing about it after waking up [2].
4 Western medicine sleepwalking 4. 1 hypnosis theory When Mai first founded hypnosis, it was found that hypnotized people often had sleepwalking symptoms. According to the classification standard of modern hypnosis, sleepwalking is the deepest state that hypnosis can cause. If the hypnotist induces the hypnotized person to enter the sleepwalking state and orders the hypnotized person to do some daily affairs, the hypnotized person can do well as in the normal state. The principle of hypnosis is to produce an exciting center in the brain center according to verbal cues, while inhibiting the activities of other parts. So is sleepwalking. Some parts of the brain center are excited, while others are still asleep.
Bohamru did a post-hypnotic suggestion experiment, which proved that post-hypnotic suggestion can make the human body experience the illusion as realistic as reality. This experiment is carried out like this:
I hypnotized a smart, sensitive, but not hysterical woman. I gave her a very complicated post-hypnotic suggestion so that all her senses could participate. I hinted that she heard military music in the hospital yard, and the soldiers went upstairs and entered the room. A musician was drunk and wanted to hug her. She slapped him twice and called the nurse and the head nurse. Soon, the nurse came and drove the drunk away. The above scenes are all described to the hypnotized person during hypnosis. As a result, when she woke up, she really felt the above scene. She has never had the same illusion before, and she can't get rid of it now. She turned to ask the other patients if they had seen what had just happened. She can't tell reality from illusion. When it was all over, I told her, "I suggest that you are just an illusion." She just believed that the scene just now was really an illusion, but she insisted that it was almost as real as reality and much more realistic than a dream.
After the patient woke up from hypnosis, he forgot everything that happened under hypnosis. After a while, he experienced a vivid illusion because of the suggestion after hypnosis. This experiment provides a model to explain sleepwalking: like the hypnotized, sleepwalkers just rehearse a pre-designed script in an illusory way. Of course, this explanation is only an approximate metaphor.
4.2 psychoanalytic theory Freud believes that sleepwalking is a manifestation of subconscious depression at an appropriate time. Indeed, sleepwalkers always have some painful experiences. In fact, the theory of psychoanalysis can be used to explain sleepwalking intuitively: when my strength accumulates to a certain extent, they break through the self-vigilance on duty. In the face of the surging self-strength, the self on duty can only escape, and some of the self on duty are also arrested as assistants, because what people say and do is their own duty. I fooled around for a while and consumed a lot of energy. The person on duty immediately put me back in the cage. In order to escape the punishment of the superego, the self-attendant keeps a secret, and as a result, the sleepwalker will wake up and know nothing about what just happened. Although the above explanation is almost impossible, it is logically reasonable.
