Paracelsus

“Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.”

“However, anyone to whom this happens should not leave his room upon awakening, should speak to no-one, but remain alone and sober until everything comes back to him, and he recalls the dream.”

“Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.”

“The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.”

“The interpretation of dreams is a great art.”

“Dreams are not without meaning wherever thay may come from-from fantasy, from the elements, or from other inspiration.”

“From time immemorial artistic insights have been revealed to artists in their sleep and in dreams, so that at all times they ardently desired them.”

“Dreams must be heeded and accepted. For a great many of them come true.”

“The dreams which reveal the supernatural are promises and messages that God sends us directly: they are nothing but His angels, His ministering spirits, who usually appear to us when we are in a great predicament.”
