Very strange drug reaction

elfsSo, I'm almost over this damn flu, I hope. I've been much better today. I have almost all of the energy I've been missing for the past week, no weird loss of body temperature integrity, no noticeable fever or explicit weakness. Hopefully, I'll be up to real human interaction in a couple of days.
For the past three days, however, something very odd has happened to me when I've slept. I've been having exceptionally vivid dreams, dreams that I remember. I never remember my dreams, and yet I've had three nights in a row that I recall one clearly. All three were straightforward narratives, too, one a very simple erotic dream involving Omaha, one was a slice-of-life scene with Omaha with no oddity or eroticsm to it whatsover, and the third was-- and this was really weird-- a vignette in which I was the POV character in a Journal Entry story (and no, not Shardik, but Darzi from the Peren & Darzi stories), and Darzi was dreaming about boinking the woman with whom he just had a mutual "let's just be friends" moment when last I wrote about him. It was the scene I'd planned on writing, only in monomaniacal first person and full color. Quite nifty, actually. Dreaming about dreaming about fucking. Hmm.
The only drug in common on all three days was dextromethorphan[?], 30mg, way under the typical dosage (200mg) needed to induce anything vaguely like the mild hallucinogenic effects described in the literature.
Just a weird thing to notice.
