Yeah, melatonin tends to induce dreams. It's not something you take a on a regular basis.

Hey I take melatonin all the time… and sleeping pills… I have trouble sleeping at night sometimes…

How much did you take? Or rather, what brand you getting?

asking the important questions. I take 3mg a couple nights a week and don't get shit

same as the reply below, just 3mg cos my doctor told me taking too much actually has the opposite effect and you wake up a lot.

also i just have the regular-ass OTC spring valley stuff in those lil green bottles

If you're able to see a doctor, definitely mention this.

I have had weird experiences with some brands of melatonin. I try now to only buy ones that are USP Verified. Since supplements are basically unregulated, USP is like a industry association that actually makes sure the manufacturers put what they say and only what they say in the amount they say in the stuff lol. And then only those manufacturers can put the USP stuff on their labels. I've had more consistent results since I started doing that.

Damn. It do be like that.

Sounds like a cool and vivid dream. Plugging the MP3 int he gas pedal...now that sounds like a gag in a video game

Dude you NEVER plug your MP3 player into the gas pedal, you ALWAYS use the brake pedal! The Gas is only for phones and dimentionaldisplacementdrives! :D

Also you should illustrate that sometime when you have say 2 months free. :D

yeah i knew something was up when my catalytic converter started playing megadeth out the exhaust

Man, I don't even remember any of my dreams (really think I just don't dream in general), but damn, melatonin sounds like one hell of a drug.

melatonine causes me horrific nightmares.
10/10 would not recomend.

it's like a "fuck around, find out" graph, but it gose from 0 to 100, real fucking quick.

same yeah, back in college i'd have these eternity-lasting nightmares (at least they felt that long) and i'd wake up and i'd just be in ruin for an entire day and it'd LEGITIMATELY affect my schoolwork.

Holy hell.

...Man, I gotta get some melatonin.

Your claim in your first line is sooooooooooo TERRIBLY out of context, and MOSTLY untrue. Please monitor yourself a little more closely before making a claim like that, because frankly, it's bullshit. :x

Melatonin is not a psychoactive substance whatsoever. It is a chemical which signals to your body that it needs to rest. Even if you fight it and stay awake through it, it's just a groggy time.
Before you go to sleep, you really should be planning WHEN you want to go to sleep, and then take it an hour before that time.

The only thing melatonin does to humans who consume it (5-10mg dosage), is make them feel lethargic.
It does NOT "fuck you in three directions when you take it before bed." The instructions literally say that it SHOULD be taken before you go to bed, and gives a time estimate on that.
In fact, melatonin products explicitly state on the labels, that it causes drowsiness, should not be taken before operating machinery, and is best taken before rest.

Melatonin does NOT induce dreams.
Melatonin does NOT cause hallucinations.
Melatonin does NOT fuck people up.

It is something I regularly use (extra strength at that) every night when I have to wake up at 5:00 a.m. for work the following day.
I have depression, which hinders the ability to dream.
I consume cannabis, which hinders the ability to dream.
I consume melatonin on work-nights, which makes my body want to crash.
I have consumed melatonin on a work-night, in which I had to actually stay up all night long to prevent the hourly overflow of a leaky faucet into a clogged drain.

Your wild dream was all you.
The melatonin just weakened your ability to stay awake.
Don't jump to conclusions. If you think it was the melatonin, get scientific about it. Do more testing, with and without melatonin. Tell a friend to give you a pill each night for a week, and to tell you it's melatonin, whether it really is or it's a placebo. Gather data.

Whatever, I'm biased as a geologist. You can science this before you say "melatonin will absolutely fuck you in three directions..." Because what you mean is, "I had an out-there dream and melatonin is a recent change in routine that I remember, but probably isn't the only oddity or factor in my life!"

I wouldn't be so defensive about my response, if a tinder match didn't fucking judge me for taking melatonin on work-nights. She believes that people who take melatonin have mental illness, and she wanted a picture-perfect thing. Sorry not sorry, humans will absolutely fuck you three directions when you take them just skin-deep.
Melatonin will just make it easier to fall asleep.
But sometimes those of us who need an easier time falling asleep, do deal with the head-static of our demons still running around in our heads.

Keep a dream journal, write that shit down asap when you wake up, and get into lucid dreaming. You can fuck furres in lucid dreams. Or don't. It's your head *shrug*

Well firstly, take what I say with a grain of salt cos this was (poorly) meant as a satirical journal about my experience with melatonin supplements. I'm fully aware it exists naturally in the brain and that OTC stuff merely helps produce more of it--I use it to help with my insomnia but throughout college, I'd have some of the most insane dreams whenever I'd take it.

Additionally it was NOT a sudden change in routine as I've taken it for years up until recently; it helped me GET to sleep so I could have some degree of rest for work and college--but like back in 2014-2018, it still caused me to have some crazier dreams than usual. I'm unsure if it's due to my ADHD, if it's because I've been diagnosed and told that I exhibit behavior that of high-functioning autism, or if that's just random-ass brain chemistry.

But yeah, this was not intended to be taken so seriously.

Sorry if I seem offended or way over-reactive to this. You just caught a furry-art loving geologist on three glasses of wine, on the topic of a substance I depend on in order to make it to work on time at 7:00 a.m. most weekday mornings.
How does geology validate my statements on this?
It fucking does. I'm a geologist. Still a little hammered, also a little stoned. Two geology puns for ya

Now, let's science/Spock this shit, because you're dealing with a Trekkie, too.

Did melatonin cause you to have some crazier dreams though? If you had already been regularly taking it, and then you started having crazier dreams, then logically, melatonin is unlikely to be the cause of the increased abstract nature of your dreams. If melatonin were causal of your more abstract dreams, you would have known very soon after starting melatonin. What you're describing is more succinctly phrased as "a spontaneous delayed reaction." And that's just not really... cause-and-effect.

Also, if you don't wanna take this as seriously as I feel like I'm not (whatever I mean by that; I've... consumed tonight~), then... I dunno, talk to a rabbit? There are plenty on FA. :P
Sorry, as a geologist, I get real touchy about where people may have gotten the science wrong, and I wanna correct them without sounding pompous or condescending. ^^;
Basically, I guarantee you 100% it was NOT the melatonin that caused your wilder dreams. More likely, you like seeing pony horsecock, you're subby, and yoga pants turn you on. I'm not judging, just lecturing. :P
At least I've gotten to watch your avater's huge tits bounce this whole time *shrug*

I didn't take melatonin in ages or even last night but I had a whack ass dream last night where it from me taking psychadelics in a public garage tool place and was the most disorienting dream in my entire life cuz everything turned into this pink yellow melding green screen effect all around me and I was trying to make sure i wasn't walking into traffic

I never had Melatonin before. But used to have Backrooms dreams about over a year ago.
