      The strangest dream I've ever had, Analysis wanted

      Alright so for background information. I have issues with insomnia, so I regularly take Melatonin (About 10mg) to help me fall asleep and stay asleep. Consequently, Melatonin also induces vivid dreams and allows for long term memory of these dreams as well. At the time when I fell asleep, I was getting very sick with a stomach virus. So naturally people take naps when they're sick, etc. I hadn't taken Melatonin, since it was the middle of the day, about 1 pm. But I remember the dream vividly, I was able to control certain aspects of it, and the entire thing was just completely ridiculous and I'd love to know what you guys make of it. More background info: I'm an occasional marijuana smoker; maybe once or twice a month. I had done it about 2 days before this happened. So it may have still been in my system, as well as the Melatonin from the night before.

      Now onto the dream.
      It starts off I am in an unrealistic world. It was a wide open field, complete with wavy grass and clear blue skies and a cobblestone type path laid in front of me. I was happy at this point. The colors we're very vivid, like a video game or something. Next thing I know I'm walking down this path, and I am at this little open stage area. It reminded me of Central Park in NYC, where I had gone earlier that week. A man was at this stage speaking. He was dressed like a car salesman, and speaking like someone who wanted to sell something. Inadvertently, I approached the stage and curiously listened to the man's sales pitch. I can't recall exactly what he said, but it was something along the lines of a one of a kind experience. This experience would make us the envy of all our friends, and our lives would improve forever. For some reason I can't exactly put my finger on, I agreed to the man's pitch. He led me and 8 or so others back stage where he gave us all a pill. Trixam was the name of this pill. (This name has to come from this dubstep artist I was listening to, Tristam. I know this.) At this point in the dream I felt curious, but confident. We all took it, and it was like I was high. Just a euphoric cluster**** of experiences I couldn't remember well when I came around awhile later (in the dream). I remember the effect of the pill was strong though, well out of my comfort zone that I would be in for experimenting had it of been real life. I woke up from this experience a while later on a couch next to 1 of the people that was with me backstage. The conversation was: Her : "What was the name of that stuff?" Me: "Trixam." Her: "Well sign me up again!" There was a large emphasis in my mind on "signing up" for some reason. Not that I had to do it or not do it, just the concept of it. Anywho, I was weary of trying it again, and decided right there on the couch I wouldn't do it again. Something very strange happened at that moment that I just then became aware of, EVERYTHING, was purple. Especially television, don't ask why, just especially television. I was scared at this point in the dream because I wanted the purple to go away, and I wanted to view the colors normally again. And because of my unwillingness to try Trixam again, hired assassin's were sent to try to kill me. I woke up from the dream while I was running from the assassins.

      I'm just making this up as I go along, but here are a few thoughts.

      It seems to me that any kind of drug, or even a drug-like religious or philosophical idea, or even music to some extent, exaggerates your perceptions at some level that's superficial relative to deep, subconscious stuff. If the stimulus seems 'deepening', often that's because its driving the deeper experience into a more powerfully objective, surface expression, not because your whole being is becoming deeper. Afterwards, especially after repeated use, it leaves a sort of deadened afterglow, according to the manner of the high. Hence the purple, especially on the TV, which is a sensate image of a fuller experience. I haven't smoked marijuana, but people who smoke a lot of it (way more than you) tell me that they don't feel as much any more, in contrast to their clean periods. But when they try to quit, and the sensitivity first comes back, everything is distorted by the way their body adjusted to the drug. Hence the feeling of being pursued by assassins, which would be like judgments or difficult emotions, among other things.

      I'm pretty much just going off of what you've said and taking your word for it. A lot of people express their feelings in these kinds of images, in dreams or in music. I can't say anything specifically about the Melatonin, since I don't know anything about it. Generally speaking, my experience is that the people who prescribe medications are usually ignorant of their longer term and more subtle effects. A drug company will do some studies, then almost as a rule only publish the results from the studies that produced results they like. Relatively objective things like 'may result in vivid dreams' may show up in those studies, but if it changes the way you subconsciously feel about things, for instance, they're not going to know or care about that. So maybe the dream could in part about the Melatonin. I realize insomnia sucks, so I'm not suggesting not taking it, and I'm not suggesting not smoking weed in moderation. But your dream seems to me to be a fairly straightfoward description of a drug habit, real or potential. Since you use two, and may in the future use others, it doesn't seem strange to me for that to happen. As someone who listens to a lot of strong music, stuff like Tool or Black Sabbath, there's a drug-like effect there too. So I think the Trixam name is likely fitting also, even though I don't know anything specific about that either.

      I hope that helps a little.
