Odd thing that keeps happening in my dreams

Oh, hey.
I had a few dreams recently where I did certain drugs or took certain medications, and it made me experience some weird fucking dreams and feel side effects after.

For example, since it's the only medication I've taken while conscious that I know how it makes me feel, I took my migraine meds in my dream and woke up feeling like I actually took it and stayed with that feeling hours after.

Everything I've taken in those dreams have correlated with me feeling different in reality. It's really really strange and I wonder if it's kind of like a placebo effect in my dreams that somehow translates to my body when I wake up. Kinda like being shot in a dream and waking up feeling pain.

Anyone ever experience something like this? I haven't been on anything and have been sleeping normally too

Can't really relate to that, but I had continuous dreams about a girl I fell for for a while. Bad wake ups. Either loving and being loved, so that waking up was like being dumped every day. Or the worse one: loving and being loved but it turns out to be cruel trick to make you act like a lovesick fool or whatever for the lulz, and you wake up scared and anxious.
Didn't help that I'd had a mental health breakdown due to drug-use-escapism resulting from a bad childhood/teenage years, and then a falling out with said dream-person irl, because she wanted to friendzone me and if that was the case I was happy to go our separate ways, but she loves attention so she kept re-contacting me, even though I'd made it clear how I was.
So we'd go through the same vicious cycle which ended when she pulled a trick on me like in dream no. 2, which resulted in a full psychotic snap in my already lowered state, so that I'd be having these dreams, be paranoid in reality, as well as being targeted for sneaky abuse around town by her and her friends. Those years sucked. But I ended up sorting all that out, thank god. She's a snake that I could only fall for while mentally ill lol. Chews through bf's like packets of gum. Phew, it's been a while since I told that story.

Actually I did wake up affected by the dreams so we have that in common but not exactly in the medication-bodily-physical way like yours. And I rarely have those dreams anymore anyway.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
No, I've had dreams where I've experienced some psychoactive effect from a drug, but I never wake up retaining the feeling.

Usually the feeling in the dream doesn't compare to the real thing anyways. I figure that since I've been in some pretty extreme states of altered consciousness before on psychedelics, my standards for significant psychoactive effects are higher than the average person's ergo dream states not comparing.

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
The other night I had a dream that I was in Fallout 4 killing creatures that came right out of Dark Souls and I had Li-Ming from Heroes of the Storm as my companion shooting arcane orbs at them.

So yeah, I have my fair share of odd dreams.
