DREAM: Cats and Drugs
I was in a room like my parents' basement. There was a cat in a kennell/carrier that was really hungry. It was a female cat, possibly Persephone, but maybe Natasha, or maybe it was a cat that wasn't ours. I was trying to feed it, simultaneously I was at a computer using a program or a website with an orange interface, very simple-looking like someone with no graphic design or html skills created it with a typewriter and Orbit Orange copy paper. I had to answer questions like, "Why are you here?" "Why do you want to use this website?" Meanwhile, I'm trying to feed this cat without Caligula and the dogs trying to eat her foo. She was terribly hungry and really hoovered her food, which was dry kibble soaked in water. Unfortunately, Caligula and the dogs were hard to contain all by myself. Then I had to keep retracing my steps on the stupid orange website, 'cause once I'd get in with a password, it'd keep locking me out again. I also remember something about drugs...I was supposed to take some drugs (pills/capsules) that would make me sleep, so I dissolved them in a drink. But when I finished the drink, I realized they were still whole and had not dissolved. It was getting time to wake up, and I thought if I take the drugs now, it'd make me too sleepy to do my work that I needed to do today. I didn't know what to do, but I think I swallowed the drugs anyway, which made me feel especially sleepy IRL.

So... this is interesting. You took a drug in a dream and this made you sleepy?

Yes! It really did! When I tried to wake up this morning (both when you left and later when I tried to get up) I had that weird druggy feeling, like when I take ibuprofen or Calms or even that one presciption drug that I'm out of when I was taking claritin or back in the old days when I had strep and took codeine (aaaaahhh, codeine). Except these were like some *major* opiates in capsule form.

That's wild, and perhaps something like self hypnosis. Maybe it shows how close dreaming and waking life are in their realities.

I don't know the exact medical terminology, but when we sleep, we release endorphins which are either chemically or physically similar if not identical to endorphins that are produced when taking opiates. I'm probably skewering the terminology, but I'm sure you've probably heard of this too, Stan. But you know sometimes when you wake up, you just wake up, but other times you have this very weird, yet very comfortable sleepy feeling and you just can't wake up. It's like that. And like you said, self-hipnosis...maybe putting the power of suggestion into my unconscious mind via the dreamdrugs put me into a super-endorphin rush.
