I'm glad I'm a lucid dreamer.
OH NO, FREDDY KRUGER CHASING ME!
Wait, that means I'm dreaming.
This is my mind. Now I make the rules. Oh no, Freddy, you're in my world.
I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me.
Now let's see what you're packing ;).
I bet Freddy Kruger is hung like a hamster. Like Hemingway was.
Sits in the couch
Now take your clothes off... but keep the gloves...
Damn, no wonder he is so mad all the time.
Can I conjure trap doors to nothing below things I hate?
Yes?
I must be dreaming.
Should be the next movie
NyQuil is a drug I absolutely won’t touch anymore.
I used it a few times (not abused, used properly) and the typical outcome is being stuck in a hypnogogic state all night having vivid and unpleasant hallucinations, unable to actually fall asleep or wake up fully. Not even a little bit fun.
So this dream makes a lot of sense to me.
NyQuils "tired" agent is diphenhydramine, which most people know as the brand name allergy medicine/antihistamine "Benadryl"
Benadryl fucks me up man. But I'm really sensitive to all sorts of downers. Any Opiate in any dose is lights-out for me. Apparently I had some pretty weird sleepwalking conversations with my (then-future) wife while on (prescribed) codeine+apap for a cough.
(For those that don't know, Codeine/"Tylenol 3" is a controlled drug in the US, requiring a prescription. Our OTC narcotic cough suppressant is Dextromethorphan aka Robitussin. Also, we have to present our ID to the pharmacy to buy pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)).
Even melatonin gummies are too strong for me.
I'll just stick to pot.
(Also for those that don't know, the new Zzzquil is just Diphenhydramine, which is very cheap at the Dollar store)
As someone who has abused it and kinda had a problem with it - that shit is poison. Literally. It has the same mechanism as deadly nightshade and a lot of poisonous plants, and it can be absolutely hellish. Totally legal in most places for some reason though. Feels like shit but paradoxically is also super addictive
used properly
hypnogogic state
Yeah, Nah, if you're hallucinating you didn't use it properly unless that's what you're going for at which point you absolutely are abusing it.
A hypnogogic state is a state of pre-sleep in which you may hallucinate. It happens normally to people all the time.
Probably shouldn’t say people are abusing stuff when you don’t even know what the things mentioned mean.
Agreed, I'd rather be chased (or pet) by Edward Scissorhands. He seems more honest, plus I'm due for a haircut soon..
Lemmy user begs to be impaled by Johnny Depp.
Hey, what better way to start the new year?
That honestly could fit perfectly well into the movies.
