Mercury
Would this describe me?In below description is mentioned dreams of a hand stabbing in the back for mercury.
Would this be similarity to my dreams of being stabbed in the back. I dreamed a few days ago like I said of getting spiritual healing while a patient there goes crazy and runs for a knife into the kitchen. I grab her hands so she cannot get the knive but than I felt a knife at the back of my back and this scared me a lot. Either from the healer or the ghost of the patients mother. Dont know. It scared me when waking up.
I cannot really identify with this remedy entirely. Despite many symptoms fitting. Although 0 physichal ones, except for restless legs at night.
I once also dreamed about this symptom mercury has of only being able to speak when someone listens to them. But I am not sure whether this is the same thing I have. I will explain mine. It is self esteem issue. When I am outside and anxious in the dream I had to park my car somewhere else so I had to ask the neighbour something. And while wanting to ask him it seemed he didnt listen. He gave no signs, this makes me terribly anxious, confused and unsure. Great trouble to speak.
So not sure whether this is the same.
Platina was a great remedy for me. Even my mother commented that I seem much better and back to the old. Does this not mean that my similimum should be close? That at least something must be right? kingdom, miasm?
some answers would be very helpful.

Mercurius solubilis
The metal Mercury is liquid at room temperature. In the Periodic Table it lies in the 6th period, the last line of metals, all of which are heavy metals. Mercurius is closely related to Platinum and Aurum. It is one of the most syphilitic remedies known.
The main feeling in Mercurius is that of being dominated, suppressed or contradicted by an extremely dictatorial authority. The only solution in such a situation is to either get away from or revolt against this domination. The Mercurius person feels viciously attacked from all sides. He has the delusion that he is surrounded by enemies, that everyone around is his enemy and he has to fight his way out. This is a desperate situation which necessitates a desperate reaction. And so with Mercurius as with other syphilitic remedies, the accent is on destruction, either of himself or of others. While on the one hand he feels dominated and defies authority, on the other he can become quite dictatorial himself. I refer to Misha Norland's article on Saddam Hussein and Mercury: '... I have to obstinately fight, even to the bitter end, even if everything in my country is destroyed.' One of the main themes of Mercurius is violence - suicidal or homicidal. He has the impulse to kill anyone who contradicts him. He is defiant towards authority to the extent of killing or being killed. Mercurius is a remedy of extremes. This violence and anger is very sudden and impulsive. In his violent rage he can kill quite easily, and the very next moment he may be himself again, as though nothing had happened; in fact he may be quite jovial. Like a Staphisagria person, he has trembling when angry or enraged. On the physical plane, the violence and destruction are seen in the form of ulcers, with a very foul odour, and a tendency to decay.
Mercurius and many of its salts have a hurry, an impatience, a speed. For example these persons will often stammer because they are hasty in speech - the words simply tumble upon one another! I have found a lot of restlessness among Mercurius children. I have also found them to be precocious and defiant. While they can be precocious on the one hand, they can be dull and stupid on the other.
A case of Mercurius that I remember well was that of a 15 year old boy who was brought by his father because he was dull and not interested in his studies, or for that matter in learning anything. His father said that in infancy and early childhood, the boy had been well above average. The problem seemed to have started when the child guidance counsellor had forced him to start writing with his right hand, whereas the boy was naturally left-handed. After that he lost interest in things very quickly: he was not interested in studies, current affairs, sports or games, although I observed him to be sharp and intelligent. He was obstinate. He also had an intense fear of examinations. Before the exam, he would be confident, but during the exam, he would just go blank and write nothing. He had failed twice in school as a result, and said he did not think of the consequences. He was obsessed with cars and garages, and had dreams of the same. He also had a recurrent dream that a man who seems to resemble his father is standing on a crowded railway platform, and there seems to be a hand stabbing him in the back. He had another dream of falling down the stairs in a college. If someone argued with him, he got angry very fast. He did not get along with his mother. She would force him to do things and he would throw things at her. She would ask him not to eat meat on Fridays; he would buy meat with his pocket money and go and tell her about it so that she would start shouting at him. He liked to watch action movies, thrillers and martial arts films. I understood that this was an intelligent boy who became dull and stupid, and defiant when he was forced to change from his left hand to his right. He did not like to be forced to do things. This was his sensitive point. He was quite strong, had no fear. If he failed in school, it did not matter to him. He would defy even to the point of destroying his own future, his life. This was the attitude outside. He had the dream of a hand stabbing someone, probably his father, in the back, indicating the feeling of being attacked and the desire to attack back in return. The potential in this boy was to stab and to be stabbed. He watched action movies, martial arts films - the violent streak was there in him. This is the syphilitic miasm, destruction. The most sensitive point about him related to contradiction. He was contradicted, told to do the opposite of what he might have wanted to do. This gave rise to the dream of stabbing almost every night. Deep in his subconscious was the impulse to kill the person who contradicted him. Six to eight weeks after Mercurius 10M he reported having had the same dream only once. His anger against his parents had reduced. His father said that he was less sluggish and more interested in his studies. Another month later, he reported that he dreamed that someone was threatening to attack him. I understood this to be a good sign; the basic feeling was being connected to him and was coming up into his awareness. His father said he was more lively, more interested in things and was doing well in exams. His obsession with motor cars had reduced. Two years later he continues to do very well in all respects.
Physical symptoms
Among the various physical symptoms are:
- Perspiration which stains fast, leaving either yellow stains or a saltish deposit which stiffens the linen.
- Profuse salivation during sleep.
- Ulcers and enlarged glands; destructive lesions in all parts of the body with suppuration.
- Craves : bread and butter.
