This is apparently the effects of 24 hours without Effexor (yeah, I forgot to take it). What freakish dreams--in five minute installments most of the night.

For those keeping score at home, I had my wisdom teeth out this morning and am currently on vicodin. Who knows what that will cause?

Less wisdom? More space along your jaws? Fewer teeth? Shorter brushing times? Longer chewing times?

That sounds vaguely familiar. I mean, that kind of thing.

I mentioned this in a thread somewhere, that I simultaneously derailed at my own expense; but have you ever been under the impression that your dream contained a very specific piece of information, only to discover, right at the moment that you attempt to communicate what it was, that it doesn't actually exist. Did it ever?

Case in point: my dad had a dream in which he looked up at a street sign and took note of the fact that he was at a certain intersection, that actually exists. He thought he remembered what it was, until he got to work and tried to tell somebody about it. When he began to say what the intersection was, there was...nothing to say! That information simply didn't exist anymore. Did it ever?

And does it even matter if you are sleeping or awake? Is the waking world any less a world of neurochemical phantoms than the other side?

From a philosophical perspective, it's an interesting conundrum.

From a practical standpoint, nobody ever gave me a paycheck during a dream.
