For a couple of nights now, I've been having inordinarily bizarre dreams, where in one case people, and in the other case a dog, were appearing as if they were artificially made toys. The dog looked reasonably normal, but it moved its head as if it were operated by a crude, old-fashioned mechanical device hidden inside it.

The people reminded me of lego-like toy figurines, and they were barely able to move at all (this was even a lucid dream).

Very unreal, and nothing like my ordinary dreams.

I had been drinking an infusion containing Vervain (Verbena Officinalis) before bedtime in both cases, and am wondering whether that may be responsible.

Has anyone else had similar unrealistic experiences?
