Getting High In Your Dreams(?)
Last night, after 8 cups of coffee, I was trying to get to sleep and had the most intense lucid dream in quite a while. They crop up every now and again, but I haven't had one that was "drug"-related in months.
(you can skip the narration in the next paragraph if you'd like, i'll get to the point afterward)
I was slowly sinking into the dream when I realized I was still conscious of the scene unfolding around me. I was in a psych-ward where the patients were behind a fence and one of the patients (a friend of mine) was up on a stage playing music for an audience (myself included). I decided to try and smuggle some "drugs" in while my friend was on stage. So I headed out to the car.
Once in the car, I decided it was too risky to smuggle the drugs (some sort of downer but I gathered that they were qualudes) so I took my entire stash on the spot and this is where it got insane.
I again realized I was dreaming but I was convinced that I had actually swallowed a handful of qualudes. Everything slowed down incredibly. I was like being in a trance. I became very unbalanced (in the dream???) and struggled to open the car door. The effects of the drug were entirely believable and I feared I had taken too much (duh). The best way I can describe the feeling is: walking through jello. When I finally opened the car door, I felt out onto the pavement, waking myself up in the process.
So, the question I pose is this, has anyone else ever dreamt they took a drug but then actually experienced the drug's effect within the dream? This has never happened to me before and I am still in awe.
