### BLOCKED SINUS ###

Is facial muscular movement capable of altering emotional state? Facial feedback theories answer this question in the affirmative but do not specify the intervening process. Cognitive appraisal theories do not address this question at all. The vascular theory of emotional efference (VTEE) holds
that facial muscular movement, by its action on the cavernous sinus, may restrict venous flow and thereby influence cooling of the arterial blood supply to the brain. Subjective reactions resulting from facial action (phonetic utterance), resembling but unrelated to emotional efference, were found to differ in hedonic quality and to produce correlated changes in forehead temperature. Direct tests that introduced air into the nasal cavity revealed that cooled air was pleasurable, whereas warm air was aversive. It is conjectured that variations in cerebral temperature might influence the release and blocking of emotion-linked neurotransmitters.

As a child I once had a severe sinus infection and had vivid dreams of small insects crawling over me. (This illness required hospital treatment for a few days, but is not important , only an example that I once remembered my dreams.) We all dream and I know I still do but when I wake up in the morning, I have no idea what I dreamed. Perhaps only once a year I remember small fragments. Since I prefer the more adverturous thought patterns, I actually LIKED my nightmares. For me, it was more exihilarating than scarry. How could it be that for the last 15 years (at least) that I don’t remember any of my dreams? Good ones or bad? Oh, bye-the-way, my IQ was tested three times for the military in about 1992 with a score of 186 as the lowest of the three. All three tests were conducted in different countries. (I really don’t feel that smart. I’m now happy to be an English teacher for children and adults in Thailand.)
