NHS Drug Dreams...the weirdest?
Discussion
Just getting used to a new prescription drug ( SSRI) and I'm getting some...interesting dreams. Like these..
I was knocking about with a keyboard - playing werewolf, in a church (!). I found his company entertaining but a girl in the dream was terrified so I woke up feeling fearful.
Last night, I was trying to make a 'plastinate' a la Gunter Von Hagens. A messy, smelly, frustrating business...bits everywhere.
This went direct to my being at a nuclear facility with Sean Connery (as Bond). A lift door opened, revealing Felicity Kendal in white jeans. Sean referred to her bot as "The Great White Hardener!"
Anybody got similar/ weirder?

More of a trip than a dream, I was in a trauma ward ripped to the tits on Morphine - in the middle of the night they admitted a Pete Doherty alike, all tattoos, hipster clothes and crying like a baby from Heroin withdrawals begging the night staff to let him get a fix, but they talked him down and some searching on the database later they were able to give him some methadone to calm him down.
I stealthy listened to his whole story, he was a Londoner, but was here in Wales for a Holiday at Porthcawl (like a sort of less scummy, smaller Blackpool if you don't know it) which he was ironically enjoying the cheesiness of it all, but fell from some rocks on the beach and broke both ankles, he spotted me looking at him and shouted "what you looking at" in a mock London hard man voice he hadn't been using up to that point.
Then the paranoia kicked in, I was there, both arms badly broken stuck in these elevated slings, I detest feeling vulnerable at the best of times, but this was like hell for me, next to me lay my little fancy laptop and my iPhone and funky junky boy was going to drag himself over in the night, stick me with a dirty needle and steal them and there was sod all I could do about it slipping in and out of it, armless and harmless. I may the night before when cats chased mice under my bed all night seem pretty tame. I've no real idea if he was real or not, or part-real, part-dream which the worst part about Morphine trips for me, the ones about flying and stuff don't fool you for long, the ones that mix real life and you can't tell if you're awake or not can really do a number on you.
Post-morphine I was on Tramadol for 6 months, I had a recurring dream when I was a character on 'King of the Hill' the animated sit-com, I was me, but a cartoon version of me, talking to all these animated Texans, they were fun.
Eek! Not too similar but when in hosp for a spine op I had a challenge. I was on intravenous morphine with the green button on demand system.I stealthy listened to his whole story, he was a Londoner, but was here in Wales for a Holiday at Porthcawl (like a sort of less scummy, smaller Blackpool if you don't know it) which he was ironically enjoying the cheesiness of it all, but fell from some rocks on the beach and broke both ankles, he spotted me looking at him and shouted "what you looking at" in a mock London hard man voice he hadn't been using up to that point.

In the mixed- gender communal ward I found myself next to Mustapha Trump. With some sort of intestinal trauma going on, he was producing blanket lifters all night long. But the morphine made me ultra sensitive to sound. It wasn't the smell, it was the paaarp followed by 'sorry' about every 3 mins. Had a little word with nursie and got Temazepam so I knew zip until brekky time.
