A co-worker of mine once told me that if you take a certain vitamin before you go to bed, you'll have really freaky dreams. Well, my dreams are weird enough without the help of drugs, so here goes.

I was at a lake with some friends, on a cliff with a balcony over the lake, pretty high above the lake. It was frozen over, and people were ice skating, ice fishing, dinking around, whatever. Just having fun because it was a beautiful warm day. After a bit, a large white SUV is driven over the ice by a woman. I keep thinking to myself, "Don't do it, the ice is too thin," but she obviously couldn't hear me say that. She puts her vehicle in park and as she doesn't even have time to get unbuckled and open the door before the SUV goes crashing through the ice.

I stare down at the lake, dumbfounded. Having never seen something like this happen before in my life, of course I stay to watch and see what's going on. Fortunately, there were a lot of people on the lake when this happened, and she was close to the shore where she parked. The vehicle immediately was submerged all the way under water, but popped up again like a bobber when you're fishing. It slowly started to fill with slushy cold water. Someone dove in after the SUV and struggled to open the door as the vehicle started sinking. He somehow managed to fling it open, and undo her seatbelt and pull her out of the water.

It was soon learned by the crowd that there were still two more people in the vehicle, but that it was already resting at the bottom of the lake, since the door had let more water pour in at an extremely fast rate. Soon, there was an ambulance truck to help the woman, and a crane to pull her SUV and the people inside out of the water. I don't know if the people were saved because my friend and I went to our car to leave.

We were parked on a little car-elevator one level up from the ground, and I wanted to beat traffic and didn't want to wait for it to lower me, so I just backed up a little and drove my car over the edge and bounced a couple of times when I landed, beating most of the traffic there.


Some other things happened, but I don't remember what they were very clearly, so it won't make sense.

Yes, you should certainly stay away from Melatonin. In fact, I wonder if your body is producing too much of it right now. Melatonin is a crazy thing.
