灵枢经·淫邪发梦 Invasive Evil Qi Giving Rise to Dreams
黄帝曰：愿闻淫邪泮衍，奈何？歧伯曰：正邪从外袭内，而未有定舍，反淫于藏，不得定处，与营卫俱行，而与魂魄飞扬，使人卧不得安而喜梦；气淫于府，则有馀于外，不足于内；气淫于藏，则有馀于内，不足于外。
黄帝曰：有馀不足，有形乎？歧伯曰：阴气盛，则梦涉大水而恐惧；阳气盛，则梦大火而燔焫；阴阳俱盛，则梦相杀。上盛则梦飞，下盛则梦堕；甚饥则梦取，甚饱则梦予；肝气盛，则梦怒，肺气盛，则梦恐惧、哭泣、飞扬；心气盛，则梦善笑恐畏；脾气盛，则梦歌乐，身体重不举；肾气盛，则梦腰脊两解不属。凡此十二盛者，至而写之，立已。
厥气客于心，则梦见丘山烟火；客于肺，则梦飞扬，见金铁之奇物；客于肝，则梦山林树木；客于脾，则梦见丘陵大泽，坏屋风雨；客于肾，则梦临渊，没居水中；客于膀胱，则梦游行；客于胃，则梦饮食；客于大肠，则梦田野；客于小肠，则梦聚邑冲衢；客于胆，则梦斗讼自刳；客于阴器，则梦接内；客于项，则梦斩首；客于胫，则梦行走而不能前，及居深地窌苑中；客于股肱，则梦礼节拜起；客于胞䐈，则梦溲便。凡此十五不足者，至而补之立已也。
Huangdi said: "I wish to hear how invasive evil qi spreads and overflows." Qibo said: "When upright-seeming evil qi invades from without to within, without yet having a fixed lodging place, it instead spreads through the viscera, unable to settle in a fixed location; it travels together with the nutritive and defensive qi, and flies about together with the hun and po souls, causing a person to be unable to rest peacefully in sleep and to dream frequently. When qi invades the bowels, there is a surplus in the exterior and a deficiency in the interior; when qi invades the viscera, there is a surplus in the interior and a deficiency in the exterior."
Huangdi said: "Do surplus and deficiency manifest in particular forms in dreams?" Qibo said: "When yin qi is exuberant, one dreams of wading through great waters and feels fear. When yang qi is exuberant, one dreams of great fires burning. When yin and yang are both exuberant, one dreams of mutual slaughter. When qi is exuberant in the upper body, one dreams of flying; when exuberant in the lower body, one dreams of falling. When extremely hungry, one dreams of taking things; when extremely full, one dreams of giving things away. When liver qi is exuberant, one dreams of anger. When lung qi is exuberant, one dreams of fear, weeping, and flying about. When heart qi is exuberant, one dreams of laughing heartily, or of fear and dread. When spleen qi is exuberant, one dreams of singing and music, and of the body feeling heavy and unable to move. When kidney qi is exuberant, one dreams of the lower back and spine coming apart and no longer connected. In all these twelve conditions of exuberance, one should drain the affected channel as soon as the qi arrives there, and the condition will be resolved at once."
When reversal qi lodges in the heart, one dreams of hills and mountains, smoke and fire. When it lodges in the lung, one dreams of flying about, and of seeing strange objects of metal and iron. When it lodges in the liver, one dreams of mountain forests and trees. When it lodges in the spleen, one dreams of hills and ridges, great marshes, and of ruined houses in wind and rain. When it lodges in the kidney, one dreams of standing at the edge of a deep abyss, or of being submerged and dwelling underwater. When it lodges in the bladder, one dreams of wandering about. When it lodges in the stomach, one dreams of food and drink. When it lodges in the large intestine, one dreams of open fields. When it lodges in the small intestine, one dreams of crowded settlements and busy crossroads. When it lodges in the gallbladder, one dreams of fighting, litigation, and self-disembowelment. When it lodges in the genitals, one dreams of sexual intercourse. When it lodges in the neck, one dreams of being beheaded. When it lodges in the shins, one dreams of walking yet being unable to go forward, and of dwelling in deep pits or in walled gardens underground. When it lodges in the thighs and arms, one dreams of ceremonial bowing and rising. When it lodges in the bladder and intestines, one dreams of urinating and defecating. In all these fifteen conditions of deficiency, one should supplement the affected channel as soon as the qi arrives there, and the condition will be resolved at once.
