I am fairly sure I would not go naked or near-naked in public, hide murdered bodies in my basement or be rude to a British pissant on a passenger train.

Well alright, the last one maybe.

When I was taking Mirapex for Restless Leg Syndrome, I had some _really_ strange dreams. I once dreamed I was feeding one of the hockey players from our local team to a plant in my back yard.

Thankfully I don’t remember any of the dreams I had when trying melatonin as a sleep aid. Tried it a few times, with the same results every time: First night, great sleep. Second night, tossing and turning. Third night…nightmare after nightmare after nightmare. And I haven’t had a nightmare otherwise since I was a little kid, so…yeah. No thanks. :eek: It’s probably a good thing I don’t remember most of my dreams. 😛
