and that I fed her flesh and blood.....then I dreamed that a school bus was taking us to a field trip but tricked us and dropped us off at a "jungle" where there was crazy possessed animals trying to eat us....
This is obviously the effect of melatonin, but why?
I have insomnia and my current medication makes me feel "weird", so I try to avoid it....when I take melatonin I don't get that "weird" feeling when losing consciousness but I do have vivid, wild dreams!
Try taking less and see what happens or talk to the doctor because not everything works the same for everyone. Don't mix with your normal meds. Try just the meletonin and maybe it will be better. Good luck
Vivid dreams are a common side affect of taking supplemental melatonin. The reason this happens is because melatonin is involved in triggering rem sleep ( the bit where you dream) and other aspects of your sleep-wake cycle, by taking supplemental melatonin you increase this effect and have more vivid dreams. If you don't find these dreams distressing then don't worry about it.
