A new drugs dream

I'm taking Amitriptyline to keep me asleep at night despite chronic back pain and a course of amoxicillin for Bronchitis. I had a curry for dinner last night in case anyone is wondering what ingredients are required for a dream like this one. I didn't have any cheese all day or any alcohol. Because I was exhausted when I went to bed I was in a strange state and fell asleep saying out loud each thing the light show behind my eyelids was putting on display for me - it went something like: A flower. A jellyfish. Soundwaves. A windmill. Little circles. A flower... And then I was asleep for a while in a dreamless state before waking up coughing at 3:15am for about half an hour. Then back to sleep until about 7:30am where I coughed for a little while and then blacked out properly into a very strange kind of sleep where you might as well be dead because you have no recollection of who you are, where you are, what you are, you just exist in a selfless realm... and then the dream found me and created a part for me to play. I was working in an amusement park. Now the park was mostly abandoned and things weren't quite right in it. As for rides there were giant rubber duckie boats on a small lake, a big wooden roller coaster painted white that had green and yellow tube lights all along the track, a merry-go-round in green and yellow lights, and there was a spinny ride that also had the yellow and green lights all over it. Apart from that the usual games and kiosks and food vending that you'd normally picture in an amusement park were also about... However it was sunny and mid day but there weren't any customers, or any staff anywhere except me and one other girl. The girl was younger and smaller than me and told me that something was wrong. She said we definitely needed to get out of the park and soon, however the only way to do so was to solve a puzzle, and the only clue was "It will take 8 steps"... So we went our separate ways to try to figure out what the hell the 8 steps puzzle meant. I had an idea about looking for parts of the land that had patterns of 8 to them, for example I noticed a small planted bit of ground along the path in the amusement park that had bright yellow painted bricks making up the boarder around it and I was counting and noticing it was 8 bricks long, and I was thinking oh, if each of those bricks are a step I've got this... Suddenly two guys show up that look a bit like Penn and Teller at times but completely don't sometimes too, however basically one is a bigger guy and the other is a smaller guy. Now the character I'm playing in this dream seems pretty naive and just sort of walks right up to these two without any worries and asks them about the 8 steps puzzle and if they have any ideas of what it means or how to solve it, without wondering where they came from or why they weren't about earlier or anything. The two guys seem nice enough and the bigger one tells me that the other girl found the answer to the puzzle and that I would too if I kept trying. The smaller one adds that I would really need to hurry because something bad was going to happen in the park. I got an instant sort of trust the smaller guy but don't trust the bigger guy vibe from the conversation. They start to walk off but the smaller guy manages to use both hands to point toward the giant Rubber Duckie boats without the bigger guy seeing him doing so, like he's literally standing right behind the bigger guy and pointing as hard as he can just so I see him. I wait until they are out of sight and a strange electric sound makes me turn around. I notice big, really badly animated centipedes are on the hill of the roller coaster eating the track. They look like the sort of 8 bit graphics of old Atari games. They are green and yellow and something tells me the green and yellow lights have something to do with this, like they were actually centipede eggs and not lights at all so there's going to be a lot more soon since those awful yellow and green lights are on everything in the park. So I start panicking because Atari bugs are starting to eat the park around me and I have no idea what kind of danger they might be to me considering they are eating the roller coaster down to nothing in minutes. I run off towards the Rubber Duckie boats ticket booth that the smaller guy had been pointing at. The ticket booth is on a pier... and 8 planks of wood from the end of the pier is a square hole in the water. It's sort of hard to explain but there are no walls or barriers holding the water back, however it is not flowing down the hole. If you imagine someone set an empty glass box into the water, froze time, and then pulled the glass box out - that is what I was dealing with. The water had slight movement at the edges of the hole, like it was gelatine and I could tell that if I touched it I'd get wet. It was just denying physics and staying away from the square hole in the lake. So it's giant Atari bugs or diving into a square hole in a lake that seems to be the answer to the 8 steps riddle and seeing what happens, so obviously I take the plunge. I fall through the ceiling into a dining room and I'm soaked. I look up and the hole closes in the ceiling above me. Wherever I am, I won't be getting back out that way. The girl from earlier in the dream shows up and helps me up and out of my soaked clothes and into a pink hospital nightgown that ties shut (sort of) at the back. She's being very silent and anytime I try to ask her anything she hushes me so I figure we'll talk soon, maybe it's not safe yet. She leads me into the next room and there are the Penn and Teller guys again sitting on horrible old yellow patterned couches in a messy living room and watching TV. The smaller one calls me over and explains that the only way to escape the certain death in the park is to be their fully obedient slaves along with my former co-worker and some other girl that I just happen to notice sitting across the room. He is feeling my leg and reaching into my hospital gown while he explains and again naive dream character that I'm playing is just sort of going with this, believing he's going to keep me safe from the bugs so the least I can do is whatever he tells me to do without question... yeah that's fine. seems fair. That's when the bigger of the two guys comes over and spins me around so my backs to him and explains how it's not normal practice to bum people in the living room but since it's a special occasion... and apparently he does and I am yelling out at first because the thought of it is not exactly something dream character was really up for in her total slavery agreement... But then I realise I can't feel anything at all so I let him work away and just kind of hold onto the couch not making any sounds... That pisses him off and he tries harder to hurt me, like really trying to cause pain... but nothing happens. So he gets really angry and yells at me and I explain I can't feel anything and that it must be him that's the problem. Which if you're ever getting bummed by a bad guy in a dream you may want to remember because it totally worked. The insult puts him off and thus I am left to my own devices for a little while while he and the smaller guy go away, probably to have some sort of group therapy about how it's not the size that counts or something. I decide I'm going to save the other two girls and that we're all getting out of here. And I'm not sure exactly what I do but I get us out of the house and we end up walking along the rocky side of a large river. We're still all in our hospital gowns and barefoot, trying to climb along sharp stones and steep ridges and really struggling. It's evening and there's not much day left. The amusement park in the distance has smoke coming from it. We all realise something has changed with the world and are discussing how make believe and real life seem to have blended together when we get attacked by a human body that has Falkor the luck dragon from never ending story as its head. The epic battle between us seems to be sort of like a game of chess in that there is a lot of repositioning and then suddenly I was in a place that meant he wasn't allowed to move anymore and I had to kill him (Check mate Falkor). I grabbed a sharp stone from the ground that was ridiculously small and was trying to figure out how to kill Flakor head, debating slitting his wrists or his neck with my rock and he just calmly sat there while I planned this out with the 2 girls... And then I woke up. Seriously that's the end. I spent 2 hours in that dream and that's exactly what happened. I debated not mentioning the bumming but fuck it, it's what happened and it's not like I was calling the shots in this dream or am letting out some deep personal fantasy or anything. I don't think I'll ever look at Penn and Teller and not think Penn is a bum raper ever again. I am going to have to sit and think long and hard about how to kill luck dragon heads on human bodies with a 1 inch bit of slate. Oddly I am pretty sure if I had used it to cut off it's head I'd have ended up with a luck dragon and some guy that hopefully would have helped me me and the 2 girls to get the fuck away from there. Weird dream wasn't it!
