I didn't want to get my antidepressant prescription renewal, because it was so hot out, so I wound up missing 2 days worth of pills. I had stuffed myself beyond reason, having taken family out for an all you can eat sushi. And for those of you who haven't had melatonin dreams, they can be incredibly believable, vivid, and/or intense. The dream began relatively normally. I've been playing Subnautica 2, so things started similarly, I was gathering minerals around a crashed spaceship in an occasionally hostile ocean. Slowly the ocean became a pond in a back yard, which had overgrown and underground sections as well. I began travelling in circuits through the yard, caves, pond, and house, doing normal video game stuff like finding sets of gnomes and fairies, triggering a fetch quest for a ghost, trying to solve a mystery by talking to my IRL uncles Rob and Larry, that sort of thing. All of this was very stressful. 1/11

Then I realized that the Rob and Larry I was talking to didn't look anything like my uncles, and there were a few other people in the room, none of whome I recognized. One of my uncles claimed to be Quentin Tarantino, pulled out a gun, and starting killing everyone. The dream turned into a time loop, and I kept trying to do different things to stop not-uncle-Larry-who-might-have-actually-been-Quentin-Tarantino from killing everyone, but he always did, and the loop would start over. I wondered if I could use process of elimination to figure out who, if anyone, in this loop was real, other than me. It turned out the only other person who was real was a naked young woman, who I hadn't noticed before. Everyone else disappeared, and I picked her up with my left hand, with my arm completely outstretched. She hung from my hand bent and twisted, like a sea creature pulled from the ocean. 2/11
