Two Dreams -Two NSAIDS



Last week I took 2 Tylenol at bedtime, because I had hacked down these vines, to get to Beaus poop. I have no idea how he got back there, but I saw him come out and KNEW he went because I could smell it.


I finished with the loppers and clippers and could reach behind the fern to lift out the poop. See red dot.
Same Night I gave Bob his nightly 2 Tylenol at bedtime 
we both had strange dreams

My Dream is first
Pain Pills give me strange dreams. They also give them to Bob. Even Tylenol causes dreams.
My dream this past week.
I am kneeling in beach sand, there is a football player laying in the sand, I put my finger down in the sand and draw a slash from top to bottom. I write the words, Victory Forever in a slanted slash across the other slash making it look like a tilted cross. I am humming a song, I don't know what it is. I realize that behind me are rows and rows of old 1950's style theater seats, maybe a thousand of the rows and every seat has a black silhouette of a person, male and female sitting there. I am running down every aisle, searching for the profile, I have to find Johanna
 profile, I know her well enough to find her that way. I am panicked, humming and searching and I wake up.
I am really humming a song, I get out of bed and still humming finally recognize its the old hymn that I have not heard in 50 years or more, Victory In Jesus.
I have not seen Johanna, my friend for 13 years at my office, since I retired in 2006.
She is fine, I looked on FB to see if she is.
Sand? Football Player? Drawing in sand? No clue
I have absolutely no clue where any of this came from, but I did find the song and Carrie Underwood is belting it out on my computer and I am singing along with it.

Bobs Dream

 Bob wakes me up at 2:20 am, he is whispering over and over,
Oh My God Oh my God, Oh my God and I get up to see what is wrong thinking call 911. He can't hear me because his aids are in their box.
I run get the hearing aid and say what's wrong.

He said I had a dream, I was brushing my teeth, really hard and long and fast and I choked and swallowed the tooth brush, it went all the way down my throat and I was saying Oh My God, Oh My God, how can I get it out.
WE HAVE No Clue....
We both try to never take a pain pill of any kind but sometimes ancient bones need help to sleep.
Why was he whispering? Why can I hear him whisper in a sound sleep. What if we both have a dream at the same time?
do we need a dream specialist?
No I did not ask AI to make a picture of bob's dream.
Just using my own imagination scares me silly.
Note: I have a LABEL named Nsaid Dreams there are 4 more of these, and if by chance you go there, this one comes up first, but the rest are there.

Both dreams are frightening. The shadows of so many people who you cannot see. I am wondering if the football player may be Bob.

Dreams can be very strange. I rarely remember a dream but the ones I do are very uncomfortable.

I hate scary dreams!

Whoa! I sometimes have very strange dreams, too, and not a few nightmares. In that regard I take after my mother,
I should keep. a journal by my bed, so that I can write them down, so often in the morning I can't remember them. And for the most part they are all so bizzare. When I was on chemo and all the drugs for that, I had some totally weird ones...

Yikes. The sands of time? Seriously though, I might pay more attention if you had those dreams without the introduction of drugs - write it down to tripping in your sleep! YAM xx

Enjoy it like some crazy film - be the onlooker. I love crazy dreams. The crazier the better, but then I never jave bad, scary or dark dreams - never nightmares - so I can treat dreams as whacky bits of entertainment. Swallowing a toothbrush is right out there though - pretty wild stuff.

omg ... your bobs dream is very scary... for me the nightmares after painmeds are vivid and I can remember every detail... and that are always the dreams what give me the shivers... hugs to you both....

Those are some crazy dreams. Bob would be especially scary with the choking. I rarely remember my dreams but when I do, I'm almost always at work

I never heard of Tylenol but I've been using ibuprofen for various pain problems throughout my adult life. I'm careful not to overdose for other reasons but I never associated NSAID with affecting my dreams - nor to have any other side-effects that I've noted, for that matter. I have had periods of intense dreaming in the past though (when "lots on my mind") so I know how puzzling that can be to try and make sense of. You have certainly had "lots on your mind" lately, so I guess not much extra needed to stir up strange dreams. The victory message looks/sounds positive though - you have certainly fought hard and also managed to overcome a lot problems! 💕

Who can account for strange dreams? Do they have meaning? I had no idea that Tylenol could induce them. It will be really strange if you and Bob ever have the same odd dream!

I have been having some very vivid dreams since I went on a new med. The med works for me and it is the only one that has helped. The dreams are not scary-just intense and 'real' feeling. Your dreams (both) are very interesting...and it makes you wonder---WHY THAT?! xo Diana
