Had a dream where I was with a bunch of people I was just becoming friends with. I didn’t know them very well and they proposed that we hang out and smoke some weed. I said, “I’ll tell you what, I’ll call my friend Al DeLarge, I think he’d like to join us.”
The others responded, “Al DeLarge? The famous UK basketball player? You’ve got to be kidding me. You don’t know Al DeLarge. He and his popular girlfriend would never hang out with us.” They laughed at me. “Has Erin been feeding you a line of bullshit or something?”
I insisted that I did know him but when it came time to call him I couldn’t remember his number. It turned out that in the dream reality, Al was a starter for the UK basketball team and I had never met him. But I was remembering the actual reality, where Al is nothing of the sort. It was very confusing.
I’ve also started having the immobility dreams again, where I’m lying in bed in my room in my apartment and it feels as though I am awake. However I am stuck in position and can’t force my body to move no matter how hard I try. Sometimes I can see the details of my room around me as I struggle to make even the tiniest motion. After what seems like a monumental amount of effort, I am able to open my eyes, and once I am awake I can move normally. I think this dream is definitely a medication side effect.
