Since I have been in India I have had the opportunity to experiment with some drugs....
Ok ok ok, it is not what you think. In order to avoid getting some exotic tropical disease like Chickengunya (a new mosquito borne disease) I have been vaccinated and drugged. One of the malaria prophylaxis drugs I have to take for nine weeks (1 week before and 4 weeks after the trip) is called mefloquine. It is a pretty benign drug except that it has a few minor side effects. It has some psychotropic properties and one of the side effects is “strange dreams or nightmares.”
Usually I never have dreams (or if I do have them I never remember having them). However, since I started taking mefloquine I have been having the most vivid fascinating dreams. Sleep is even more fun than before (that is saying a lot coming from me!)
I can see why people might like some of these mind altering drugs. Don’t worry I am not addicted nor will my malaria prophylaxis medicine become a “gateway drug” LOL!
