Just bought a new one, Charley. More for the nosebleeds, tho. Haven't pissed the bed yet but it'll come. Time catches up to us all.

As for the duckies, I dunno but it's better than rubber chickens... I think.

"GO PEE NOW!"

I would hope you use plastic mattress covers.

I haven't had a "great ship" dream in ages. But I did have one about rubber duckies. What could it possibly mean?

I get the first two in my mind... the valley of tears has me perplexed, although I have an idea that perhaps it has to do with growing out of childhood, with losing that sense of learning and wonder with simple things like playing in the sand at the beach or hearing the wind in the willows.

in any case, it seems, at first glance, profound. Or, as you (MAY) allude to, it might be just dream drivel.

I had a very profound dream last night. A loud and clear voice said, "GO PEE NOW!"

Once I dreamed I was walking through a 19th century house--creaky wooden floors and the whole bit. There was a side table in the hallway next to a window with fancy lace curtains. There was a book on it. I picked it up and opened it to the first page and it said, "Childhood is the laughter of the sand, the language of the willows and a valley of tears." That was many, many years ago but I never forgot it. Still don't know what it means but I never forgot it.

To be serious for a moment, I'm wondering if the side-effect of powerful dreams after taking melatonin is due to the fact that the patient hasn't had much good REM sleep for a long time. Once the melatonin induces proper sleep, maybe the dreams are a sort of backlog where the brain catches up on its sorting process. (I believe dreams are necessary to the healthy functioning of the brain.) As I said in another thread, I sleep like a log and then some, but I have terrifying nightmares and scream like a stuck pig. My poor husband nearly has heart failure! I don't have these dreams during my afternoon nap, just at night.

"It Came in the Night!"

Sounds like a classic 50's B movie creature feature! Probably involving a giant sea urchin that looks suspiciously like an ordinary sized sea urchin filmed in a fish tank next to tiny plastic toy boats.

The Cap'n of the great (tiny toy boat) ship sez portentously "This great ship sails on me lads, no matter how hideous that monstrous sea urchin left in our wake may be!"

The semi-naked nubile young woman with gloriously pneumatic breasts barely covered with goat skin -as was the fashion in world lost in time- was frustrated at her objectification as a sex object and screamed passionately: "I demand you take me seriously!" then upon having her obvious mistake patiently explained to her by a man, pouted saucily and said: "Oh, so terribly sorry. I foolishly mistook this for a serious thread, but it's only a wet dream! Please continue to objectify me.."

Meanwhile the sea boiled as the giant sea urchin spawned..

Some years ago, I had a dream which made me laugh so much that I woke up laughing from it:

I had met an Englishman over here in Germany who told me that he was here to go into business. I asked him, "Why Germany?" He gave me a knowing look and replied: "Germany is a good place to make money Alan, because the Germans think they are organised."

To anyone who really knows Germany, that can be really funny. I wish I had made that up, but it actually came in a dream.

Many years ago, about mid-1960s, Valerie declared in the middle of the night while I just happened to be lying awake, with absolute clarity and in tones of the utmost certainty, & with emphasis and pause as shown ~

"The populace must be kept awake ~~ and amused!"

When asked next morning, she had neither recollection of any dream or train of somnolent thought that might have given rise to this portentous locution, nor any conception as to what it could possibly have meant.

Sailing into a Greek harbour on one of our charters (quite a while ago, now) we were passed in the channel by a mega-yacht doing about 25 knots through lots of sailing traffic.

After he had overtaken, looking behind us, I saw a curling wall of water about 10 feet high bearing down on our little 25-footer. We held on tightly as the wave buried us in foam, gushing down the hatchway, soaking our bedding and clothes. So tightly in fact that my wrist-watch strap broke and the watch was being washed towards the scuppers but I was able to grab it. Fortunately we were able to ride out the rest of the turbulence and washed our clothes and dried everything in the hot Greek sun that same afternoon.

"The great ship sails on with no thought of what its wake is doing to others." I can relate to that saying...

It's a little-known fact that melatonin is a hormone. I wouldn't take it if I were you, Kendall.

I took melatonin and had horrible nightmares - the worst part about it was that the nightmares were very 'real'feeling - even after I awoke they seemed very vivid. I won't be taking any more melatonin - didn't like that side effect at all.

Since I lost my voice I am very sensitive about no being heard in a group. Lack of manners has always gotten up my nose.
I told the dream to an old friend and he recognized himself as the young man. He knows he has a bad habit of interrupting.
He once said, "But if I don't say what I'm thinking, I forget what I was going to say."
I asked him this question, "So, what you are telling me is that what you want to say is more important than what is BEING said."?

That got his attention. If you took I and me out of the language, he would be mute.

I've been taking Melatonin to help me sleep, and although it works, I have some rather strange dreams.
Last night, I dreamed I was in a small gathering of people whom I did not know, and I was telling them something I thought was important, and this young man interrupted me as if I didn't exist. and went off on his own tangent. I took exception and told him so, then I offered to "Knock his block off", and he thought about what he ahd done and he said to me, "The great ship sails on with no thought of what its wake is doing to others."

I got up and wrote that down.
