Clematis...
...is for people whose minds drift away from the present into fantasies of
the future, or into alternative versions of the present. Often their dreams are
of great future success, creative Endeavour and achievement, but the danger for
people in this state is that their dreams will remain fantasies because the
Clematis person is not sufficiently anchored in reality to make them happen.
The remedy helps to bring these people back to earth and back to themselves
so that they can build castles in life instead of in the air.
Sometimes the Clematis state is confused with the
Honeysuckle
state, but in fact the two are quite different. In the Honeysuckle state the
person is living in nostalgic fantasies of the past or reliving old regrets;
but the Clematis person's thoughts drift away to imagined futures.
Clematis is one of the ingredients in
Rescue
Remedy, where it is used to help the fuzzy, light-headed feeling that can
come at times of emergency.
Dr Bach's description
Those who are dreamy, drowsy, not fully awake, no great
interest in life. Quiet people, not really happy in
their present circumstances, living more in the future than in the present;
living in hopes of happier times, when their ideals may come true. In
illness some make little or no effort to get well, and in certain cases may even
look forward to death, in the hope of better times; or maybe, meeting again
some beloved one whom they have lost.
