And she starts crossing the street and BAM! she's hit by a bus. She goes flying up in the air and lands splat on the asphalt. But then she gets right up!

Ok, so flash forward to the next morning. I wake up, and think to myself wow what a crazy dream I'll have to Amanda (the girl in the dream) all about it when I see her. So the whole day passes and I don't see her, and I haven't told anyone else about the dream. Suddenly around 5pm she comes running to me "Oh my God! I'm so glad you're ok. I had the craziest dream last night. I dreamt you were on the other side of the street where the buses come. You waved to me. I waved back. You start crossing the street and where hit by a bus!"

I would think that's really unusual that we would basically have the same exact dream about each other. Schneed, your analysis?

Also, I take melatonin as a sleep aid and it makes my dreams incredible vivid. I've had dreams where I thought someone had broken into the house and the alarm sounded. Even weirder is that I woke up covering my ears because it was so loud it hurt them.

For several minutes I roamed around the house with a golf club and it was then I realized that it might be a dream. I couldn't totally convince myself so I went online and researched side effects of melatonin.

Sure enough, it was exactly what was causing the vividness. Scared the shit out of me.
