Sweet dream

Sweet Dream.

Dream is a fulfillment of a wish.
At times we repress our desires.
In a dream such repressed desires transform into the dream content
and is executed.

Falling from height

Falling in a Dream.

Falling in your dream is the most frequent among all the common dreams we experience in our lifetime. Falling dreams can be extremely frightening vivid experience that usually last minutes before you hit the ground.
Falling in your dream is a way your unconscious communicates with your psyche or conscious to warn you and let you know that something needs to be fixed right away. One theory about falling in our dreams suggests that you may have lost control over a particular matter in your life. These situations can possibly be linked to work, school, home or even in your relationship.
I am not talking about falling on account of suicide.

Dreams

Dreams.
The unconscious contains our primitive biological urges that makes us survive ( hopes, dreams, fantasies, wishes, creativity love, warmth, conducts. sexual urges, abuses and the list is endless.)
Dream is part of our unconscious life. It delivers protective work without our conscious awareness. Our brain cannot handle every single second of exposed information though our conscious awareness. Our unconscious delivers messages in the form of sensory images. Dreams are difficult to interpret since they do not follow the logic of our conscious awareness. But all dream carry our unconscious experiences of our daily life( present and past ).
Difficult subject.

Migraine headache

Headache,
acrylic painting 20” x 16”

Headache represents one of the most distressful and frightening human experiences seen by doctors worldwide. Tension headaches are the most prevalent type of headaches, followed by migraine headaches. Headaches have no race predilection and interestingly enough are more common in females than males. In Africa one of the of the treatment approaches includes application of moist cool compresses over the forehead, which alleviates the sympathetic arousal linked to pain. It also might reduce the cerebral vasodilatation which is believed to trigger the mechanism of headache initiation. In addition to the above approaches, in some cultures wrapping the head tightly with a piece of cloth is believed to help patients with headaches. This painting shows the facial expression of headache sufferer.

Sexual arousal disorder

Sexual Arousal Disorder

SAD is the inability to attain or maintain physical response to sexual excitement.
Such impairment may occur during any stage of the sexual response cycle such
as desire, arousal, orgasm and resolution.
Normal sexual arousal depends on a number of factors such as:
1. intactedness of the labia and clitoris
2. engorgement of the labia and clitoris
3. sound psychological and emotional well being.
4. vaginal lubrication.
Female Genital mutilation causes deep concealed psychological trauma that will manifest in a vast array of sexual impairment during adult life.
In areas of the world where sexual desire is perceived as an aberrant behavior, sexual inertness is considered as being a positive, morally accepted behavior. I
In such cultures, it is believed that sexual desire is a sin and may lead to sexual promiscuity and thereby men may lose control over women.
It might well be true that excising the organ of sexual desire will paralyze women’s freedom of enjoying the gift of nature which is the instinct of sexual desire and orgasm.

Diabetes was discovered as early as 2500 years ago or even earlier.
Ants were attracted to the site of the urine of diabetics. This is one of the curiosity that led to the discovery of diabetes mellitus. One of the diagnostic strategies was to taste the urine by the tongue.

Perineal tears

Perineal Tears


Obstructed, high risk labors are very common in genitally mutilated women. One of my practical approaches was to deliver such women via Caesarian Sections. The most common complications, if allowed to deliver, were high degree of perineal tears, formation of recto vaginal and vescico vaginal fistulas. In Somaliland there are special departments that deal with fistulas only. My thoughts are why should we allow to spend so much money on fistula hospitals if we could stop FGM!

Healing

Healing

Prescribing tabs, capsules or elixirs is just but a bit of the healing human process. Over 5000 years ago the ancient "Kimetic" Physicians had stated that healing is an art that encompasses healing of the body, mind and soul. The word Kimetic stands for Egypt. Up to this dates this notion has never been challenged. Approaches to healing involves, communication, touching the patient, empathy, compassion, ability to counsel, attentiveness and focus on the patient's overall concerns.
Online medicine practiced in our modern society is a disgrace to the practice of medicine. It is a movement that is geared toward use of technology to build wealth. Without seeing, examining and touching the patient, you cannot achieve healing.
Creativity has no boundaries.

Human Bio Rhythm
Sunrise,
Sunrise marks the beginning of our wake cycle. After a night of physical and mental break, our body is charged with an energy for a new next unpredictable day cycle. Our starting gear is propelled by a cup of strong coffee. Have you ever thought about how sane our life is programmed. It is called bio rhythm which is naturally coded in all human beings. Have you ever had experiences of working night shifts! The impacts of health on night shift workers are paramount although underestimated. People who work night shifts go to their physicians with complaints of tiredness, fatigue, insomnia or somnolence, eating disorders, impaired control of their medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and propensity to weight gains.

Dream about drowning

Dreams about drowning

To see someone drowning in your dream suggests that you are becoming too deeply involved in something that is beyond your control.
Dream about drowning can also represent issues or thoughts from your past that you have been trying to suppress. Oddly enough, if you dream of dying in a dream, it may mean that you are about to experience a rebirth or regeneration. Fortunately, if you survive the drowning event, it may indicate new beginnings, but you will have to overcome a difficult situation.

Nicotine should be banned in the world.
It is never perceived as addictive as alcohol or other drugs.
It is widely available in most of the stores.
Tax money, generated from sale of nicotine, supports the government budget.
On the other side of the coin billions of dollars are Spent on the medical conditions linked to nicotine.

Exhausted mind

An Interval for creative thoughts.

Our brain needs breaks from every day routines.
We are charged with media propaganda and irrelevant concerns and worries.
Coming to your real senses will deviate your attention to a different dimension far away from provocative unnecessary stresses.
Here your mind will free itself and lay a background seed for creative thinking.
All you need is attention, keeping the mind access open, curiosity and let your instinct drive you to creativity.
Allowing interval time to come to your own senses helps you a relief from burdens of daily stress.
Stress causes interruption of a healthy communication between our mind and body.
Such mental imbalance could elicit dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system with resultant
blood pressure elevations, palpitation, anxiety, insomnia and others.

Violence Against Female Gender.
Africa has a long standing tradition of incredibly unequal power between men and women. This has led to an extremely high rate of violence against women.
Rape is a powerful tool in violence against women. The unstable political climate in many African countries plus other factors like violent cultures of tribalism had led to a high number of conflicts and wars. During these conflicts it is not uncommon for rape to be used as a "weapon of war".
Girls are further subjected to violence by the act of female genial mutilation.
Violence against women begins in childhood. African families show an obvious preference for sons over daughters. African society views sons as a credit to their family, while families that have only daughters are stigmatized.
In ancient Medieval times women were perceived as a natural reservoir for reproduction. Up to 17th Century women were not given access to medical
institutions to become doctors.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society that are exposed to the threats of physical, emotional abuses, domestic violence, environmental health hazards, civil wars, preventable accidents, preventable spread of communicable diseases and etc.
An adult's evolutionary instinct to protect his offspring spans across all primates. This congenital instinct ca be altered and influenced by the presence of above mentioned factors.

From China it spread to India, Middle East, North Africa and then Europe.
In North America it is illegal the use of Marijuana.
Marijuana causes short time memory loss, raising heart rate, chest pain and lung conditions.
It has the same carcinogenic ingredients like the ones present in nicotine.

Dream




Dream is a brain energy that diversifies the course and experiences of your life. For example You are very poor and there is no way out to get rich. A dream can make you feel and experience wealthy and filthy rich. In a dream your mind halts and cheats your cognition. You brain energy will leave your body and travel to unimaginable places that you never t thought about. It collects surrealistic memories. Most of the time you are able to retrieve these memories when you are fully awake.

Abuse of children

Abuse of Children
The outcry of children's agony is neglected and barely heard in a society where abuse of children is tolerated as a matter of acceptable cultural norm.
Children are defenseless and dependent on their caregivers for non abusive care and love. Abuse of children is a crime. We are obligated to protect our children.

Alcohol is one of the most abused substance in the world.
It may elicit a transient euphoric effect in susceptible individuals. Such experiences represent the root of potential addiction and abuse.
Men are more prone to the abuse of alcohol although this gender discrepancy is narrowing. A depressed individual craves for the depression- relieving effect of alcohol through its temporary mood elating effect.On the other hand, chronic alcohol abuse is linked to major depression.
The psycho social impacts of alcohol abuse are unequivocally tremendous. Abuse of this substance correlates with domestic violence, loss of employment and high risk taking behaviors such as experimenting and using more potent illicit drugs.

GENETIC ENGINEERING The birth of a child is the initiation of human life cycle. It commemorates the
continuation of human lineage in the evolution of mankind. Do Aliens exist? How do they reproduce? Do they have gender characteristics like male and female gender organs/ Do they have a word like “birth” of a newborn? If they don’t reproduce like humans, can we assume that they are genetically engineered and cloned! Cloning human is within the reach and capacity of human knowledge today. Why Human should clone another human when this is already accomplished by our Divine Nature? What about cloning parts or organs of human as spare parts? Nature has not provided us spare parts in case a part of our body fails to function.From medical experience we know that any parts or organs of human can fail from complications of grave diseases or inborn errors. In this World, What options do doctors have? Very limited options. Why not support cloning of organs as spare parts for the simple reason that they can save us from dying earlier and therefore loose the Gift of living. Why should we deprive self from the gift of nature e.g. use of limitless capacity of our brain. The life cycle of human cannot be abolished by human. However the duration span of this cycle can be influenced by mankind.
