I've been using it a fair amount lately due to having some somnia* issues. But sometimes I'd take it one night, then have vivid dreams the next night. For a time I wondered why. Then I discovered that one of the side effects of Metoprolol (beta blocker) is... guess what?... you guessed it. Vivid dreams. Been taking it for years. So... yeah. Vivid dreams. Fortunately not usually nightmares, usually just the usual weird stuff. Not yet sure whether it bothers me, though obviously if I'm not sure, it doesn't bother me a lot. But it's a bit of extra strangeness in my life. Fortunately I haven't had any dreams of being with Dana in weird a sexual situation. :) I did once dream I kissed Elton John, though. That one still has me scratching my head. * Not <i>in</i>somnia issues. I've been doing that very well, thank-you-for-asking. One of the side effects of Melatonin is vivid dreams.

Inner epiphanies are common, but difficult to explain even to ourselves once the sun is up. You can mine dreams for images and ideas, but you cannot make the full translation, or else you would melt away in daylight as dreams do.
