Discussion
Lac delphinium is a remedy combination of innocence, warmth, sensuality that tend to be irresitable to men.
Fear:
Fear is the emotion which dominates Lac delphinum. She has many fears, but the most important are fears of attack and fears of abandonment.
Lac delphinum is both psychic and highly imaginative. This works against her, as she can imagine hidden dangers, particularly at night.
Lac delphinum is both psychic and highly imaginative. This works against her, as she can imagine hidden dangers, particularly at night.
Lac delphinum has a peculiar relationship to danger. She seeks dangerous situations, and feels calm in them. For example, she will drink too much, and then drive. This can be compared to the dolphin who is always aware of sharks nearby, yet is not threatened. Dolphins will chase sharks away from the pod, and it is only sick and young who fall victim to sharks. Yet dolphins are very aware of the danger from sharks. Several Lac dephinum women reported dreams of being stabbed by sharp objects such as spears of knives, which may represent the shark’s teeth.
Relationships and Sexuality:
Whereas many Lac individuals complain chiefly about their relationship with their mother, Lac dephinum tends to struggle especially with her relationships with men.
Lac delphinum is often clingy and dependent in relationships, and this tends to push partners away. She very easily goes into a helpless, childlike mode, where she expects to be looked after. She is also moody in relationships, because she easily feels neglected, hurt and indignant. As a result she is prone to brief and stormy relationships. She will also push men away deliberately, because she easily feels trapped.
Lac delphinum is a tendency to attract older men, who become father figures. They provide security for Lac delphinum, but are seldom sensitive enough for her.
Sexuality is a prominent feature in the proving of Lac delphinum. Most of my patients who responded to the remedy had a high sex drive and a strongly sensual feel. Yet many also reported problems with sexuality. The most common complaint was that they could not connect sexuality with their heart. They either felt love, or sexual, but not both at the same time
Heart-centred and Dreamy:
Lac delphinum’s dreaminess is an essential characteristic of the remedy. It is there even when she is not stressed. She will laugh easily, and seem unable to take problems seriously.
Lac delphinum has a very warm heart. This is part of her attractiveness. She feels great empathy for almost everyone, and will give and give when she feels needed. As a mother she tends to be a natural, exuding maternal warmth whilst dreamily floating through the early stages of being a parent.
Play, Escape and Magical Thinking:
Playfulness is another keynote of Lac delphinum, closely tied to her dreaminess. Dolphins are famous for their playfulness. I feel it is more than coincidence that dolphins are so often used in New Age images of spirituality.
Lac delphinum is a very escapist type. One way she will escape is to bury her head in the sand. She simply will not look at difficult issues, and so she can feel quite slippery when she seeks psychological help. Instead of responding when asked a question that touches on a painful issue, she may laugh, or stay silent, or change the subject.
Child
As children, Lac delphinum are shy, sensitive and dreamy. They tend to live in an imaginary world, and are easily frightened. As with other Lac types, sibling rivalry is often strong
