Question

Someone asked that they often feel confused, as if they are dreaming all day long, especially severe during springtime, while it is better in other seasons.

Answer

Feeling confused and frequently dreaming may be caused by excessive stress or mental tension. It is recommended to increase physical activity and pay attention to rest to adjust the pressure of work and life. This could also be a symptom of nervous exhaustion, so it is advisable to adjust the pace of life, relax stress, adjust diet, and increase appropriate exercise. The problem should gradually improve. If the situation does not improve, it is suggested to seek professional diagnosis and possibly need to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. The above suggestions may help in dealing with “feeling confused all day long and like you’re dreaming”. Wish you good health!
