Clematis - Dreaminess; lack of interest in the present

So another bottle to come out of my box unopened.  I have had my box since December just after i did my level one bach course.  I am sure i have come across Clematis people in that time - probably actors!

Anyway the 38 Flower Remedies book says the follow:

Clematis is for people who live in a world of their own with no interest in the real world.  They find it hard to live in the present.


They are not really happy and yearn for better times; however they take no active steps to bring these about.  They have a poor memory, with little head for detail.  They tend to lack energy and appear absent minded.


They like to be alone and will avoid confrontations by withdrawing.  When ill they make no effort to get well.  They may be strongly romantic.  Clematis is appropriate for people who have lost a loved one and long to join them.  Through lack of concentration, they may tend to be accident-prone.

Ah well at least the Clematis person is romantic - thats not such a bad thing is it?!

Clematis is in the 'Live the Day' catergory or 'Not sufficient interest in present circumstance'.

The Twelve healers says

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 may be meeting again some beloved one whom they have lost.

Again similar to the 38 Flower Remedies explanation but the Twelve Healers description seems a bit more desperate I think.

The positive side of a Clematis person is

Someone who has a lively interest in the world around, and enjoyment of live.  Positive Clematis people are open to inspiration and fulfill their creative potential, for instance in art, writing, design, fashion or healing.  Realistic and down to earth they have a sense of purpose and recognise that the future is shaped by the present.  They are well grounded and able to control their thoughts.

Phew - that sounds more like it.  I think i tend to be a Clematis positive person and i think that is a great thing to be.  I will put the Clematis back unopened in the box!
