CASE ANALYSIS :

Initially she was given Lachesis because of her loquacity, wandering speech, talking in two languages, antagonism with herself, jealousy, competitiveness. It was the best I could do at that point in time, but I wasn't happy with it. Around the same time I was doing experiments to establish the phenomenon of Group Consciousness, and I showed her case to a group of people in one room, while three people who had no idea of what we were doing, were made to sleep in a separate room and asked to note their dreams.

The first of them dreamt of a very muscular, macho man in a black, sleeveless jacket. He had very dark hair and from his face he looked Asian, may be Japanese. Then she saw a black sports car driven at jet speed by a woman dressed in black and with a hat on her head. There was an accident and the car was smashed. Then she saw a movie actress, and later a hill-station covered with snow and people who looked like smugglers. While she was sleeping, she also felt she heard someone coming and felt that he was coming to kill her only.

The second person saw many shapes: one may have of a liver or a tortoise. She saw a silver cross that started moving around her and saw an image of Lord Krishna. She also saw one person killing another from behind with a knife. Later, she saw iron rods like in a prison, triangular shapes, a shark with sharp teeth, a round shape, like a ring viewed from above.

The third person experienced a constant fear that someone was trying to kill her. She saw herself standing on a high balcony and someone came from behind and tried to push her off. Then she saw a number of white horses that ran to her at a great speed and she was very fearful of dying, but they all fell down and she was okay. She felt an emptiness in the abdomen from fear. She also saw a middle-aged woman cursing and shouting at her, as if she had done something very wrong to her, and she felt guilty and was afraid of being punished for what she had done.

From all of this, I understood the main feeling of the case was the fear that she would be killed by someone behind her: the danger was from behind. The other features duality, loquacity, jealousy and loquacity are common to all snake remedies and not indicative only of Lachesis.

I selected the following rubrics :

Delusion, people sees, behind him someone is.

Thoughts of death when alone.

Dreams of murder.

I gave her Crotalus cascavella 200C, based on my understanding of the case. (I later conducted a proving of this remedy and understood it better. The same has been included in my book, `Provings'.)
