《千金方》治鬼魇不寤。皂荚末刀圭，起死人。
睡觉时突然昏迷不醒，不要用火光照耀，用火光照会致人死亡，只需用力咬其脚后跟及足大趾指甲边缘，并向其面部多吐唾沫，人就能苏醒。又有治疗此症的方子。
将皂角研成末，用管子吹入两个鼻孔中，人就会醒来。三四天内还可以吹。又用毛发刺入鼻孔中，男子取左侧，女子取右侧，来回转动送入。
又一个方子：用芦管吹两耳，并取患者头发十四根，搓成绳子塞入鼻孔中，割取雄鸡冠血，用管子吹入咽喉中，效果显著。
又一个方子：取灶下的黄土研末，用管子吹入鼻中。将雄黄和桂枝研末，吹入鼻中，也很好。
又一个方子：取井底的泥涂抹在眼睛上，让人把头垂到井中，呼唤他的姓名，人就会立刻醒来。
又一个方子：取韭菜捣烂，用汁液吹入鼻孔。冬天可以挖掘韭根，取汁液灌入口中。
又一个方子：喝盐汤，用量酌情而定。
又一个方子：将患者放在地上，用利刀在地上画线，从肩膀开始，男子取左侧，女子取右侧，让刀锋环绕面部刻划患者的鼻子，深入一分，紧紧按住不要动，此时患者会像被鬼神附体一样说话求饶，这时才问：“你是谁？为什么来？”他会自己请求离开，然后用手指抹去刚才画的线，在肩膀处几寸的地方，让他离去，不可不详细审问。
又一个方子：用瓦制的蒸笼盖在患者脸上，让人快速击打，打破蒸笼，人就会醒来。
又一个方子：用牛蹄或马蹄，压在魇寐者身上。也可以治疗猝死。青色的牛蹄尤其好。
又一个方子：捣碎雄黄，细细筛过，用管子吹入两个鼻孔中。桂枝也很好。
又一个方子：石菖蒲研末，吹入两鼻孔中，又将粉末纳入舌下。
又一个方子：用蒸笼的带子绑住肘后，男子取左侧，女子取右侧，稍微用力绞紧，再用麻绳绑住脚，然后审问原因，命令解开束缚。让一人坐在头边守护，一人在屋内呼唤患者的姓名，坐守的人应答“诺”，患者就会苏醒。
突然魇寐而不觉醒。灸足大趾聚毛处二十一壮。
人喜欢魇寐及做恶梦的人。取烧死的火灰，放入鞋中，合在枕头上。
又一个方子：佩戴雄黄，男子戴左侧，女子戴右侧。
又一个方子：灸两足大趾上聚毛处，灸二十壮。
又一个方子：用真麝香一字大小放在头边。
又一个方子：用虎头枕尤其好。
预防魇寐的方子。取枣核大小的雄黄，系在左腋下。让人终身不魇寐。
又一个方子：真赤（此处原文可能有误，推测为某种红色矿物或药材，按字面保留）一方用其枕头。
又一个方子：制作犀角枕很好。将青木香放入枕中，并随身携带。
又一个方子：治疗长期魇寐。将此符写在纸上，烧成黑色，用少量水调和，放入死者口中，在死者耳前悬挂镜子敲打，呼唤死者名字，不超过半天，就会复活。
魇卧寐不醒的，都是魂魄外游，被邪气执持，想回来却找不到路，忌讳用火光照，因为火光照射魂魄就不复入体，而有灯光中魇的，是因为本源由明处出，只是不能返回身体罢了。

When suddenly falling into a coma during sleep, do not illuminate with fire, as doing so may cause death. Instead, firmly bite the calcaneus (heel) and the area around the nail of the great toe, and spit saliva onto the face; the person will revive. Another prescription for treatment:
Powdered Zaojiao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus), blown into both nostrils via a tube, causes immediate awakening. This can be done within three to four days. Alternatively, insert hair into the nostrils, on the left side for males and the right for females, rotating it gently.
Another prescription: Blow air through a reed tube into both ears. Take fourteen strands of the patient's hair, twist them into a rope, and insert into the nostrils. Cut the comb of a rooster to obtain blood, and blow it into the throat via a tube; this is highly effective.
Another prescription: Powder the yellow earth from under the stove and blow it into the nose via a tube. Powdering Xionghuang (Realgar) combined with Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) and blowing it into the nose is also excellent.
Another prescription: Apply mud from the bottom of a well to the eyes. Have the person lower their head into the well while calling their name; they will awaken immediately.
Another prescription: Crush Jiucai (Chinese Chive) and blow the juice into the nostrils. In winter, dig up the roots, extract the juice, and pour it into the mouth.
Another prescription: Drink salt water, adjusting the amount according to judgment.
Another prescription: Place the patient on the ground. Use a sharp knife to draw lines on the ground starting from the shoulder, on the left side for males and the right for females. Guide the blade around the face to carve the patient's nose, penetrating one fen (approx. 3.3mm). Hold firmly without moving. The patient, seemingly possessed by spirits, will speak pleadingly. Only then ask, "Who are you? Why have you come?" They will request to leave. Then, erase the drawn line with your finger near the shoulder, allowing them to depart. It is crucial to interrogate them thoroughly.
Another prescription: Cover the patient's face with a clay steamer. Have someone strike it forcefully until it breaks; the patient will awaken.
Another prescription: Place an ox hoof or horse hoof over the person suffering from nightmare suffocation. This can also treat sudden death. A green ox hoof is particularly good.
Another prescription: Crush Xionghuang (Realgar), sieve it finely, and blow it into both nostrils via a tube. Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) is also good.
Another prescription: Blow powder of Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) into both nostrils, and also place powder under the tongue.
Another prescription: Tie the strap of a clay steamer behind the elbow, on the left side for males and the right for females, twisting it slightly tight. Bind the feet with hemp rope, then interrogate the cause and command release. Have one person guard the head and another call the patient's name from inside the room. The guardian answers "Yes," and the patient revives.
For sudden nightmare suffocation without awareness: Moxibustion at the hairy center of the big toe on the sole of the foot, twenty-one moxa cones.
For those prone to nightmare suffocation and bad dreams: Take ash from burnt-out fire, place it in shoes, and combine with pillows.
Another prescription: Wear Xionghuang (Realgar), on the left side for males and the right for females.
Another prescription: Moxibustion at the hairy center of the big toes on both feet, twenty moxa cones.
Another prescription: Place a grain of Zhen Shexiang (Moschus) the size of a mung bean near the head.
Another prescription: Using a pillow made of tiger head is especially good.
Prescription to ward off nightmare suffocation: Take Xionghuang (Realgar) the size of a jujube pit, tie it under the left armpit. This prevents nightmare suffocation for life.
Another prescription: Use Zhen Chi (True Cinnabar/Red Mineral) as a pillow.
Another prescription: Making a rhino horn pillow is good. Place Qingmuxiang (Aquilaria Agallocha Wood) in the pillow and carry it.
Another prescription: For long-standing nightmare suffocation: Write this talisman on paper, burn it until black, mix with a little water, and put into the mouth of the deceased. Hang a mirror before the ear of the deceased and strike it, calling the deceased's name. Within half a day, they will revive.
Those who suffer from nightmare suffocation and do not wake are due to the soul wandering outside and being held by evil pathogens, unable to return. Fire illumination is taboo because light prevents the soul from re-entering. Cases involving light are due to the source coming from brightness but failing to return to the body.
Attached Prescription:
From *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold): Treats ghost-induced nightmare suffocation. Use Dao Gui (a small measure) of powdered Zaojiao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus) to revive the dead.
