Benadryl Side Effects

I suffer horribly from allergies and I've been taking a Benadryl each night at bedtime to help me out a little. One night this week I took two Benadryls, my happy pill and a Zyrtec. Apparently this combination is a little powerful because I had the craziest dream of being mauled and chased by strange bears. These bears were at a nature retreat in my native South Carolina that was supposed to showcase the native animals in their natural environment. You hiked to the preserve and camped in these bunkhouse-type lodgings. It was obvious to me, even in my sleep, that I was dreaming because there wasn't a bar to be found and I don't vacation sans alcohol, nor do I do the whole nature thing, but nonetheless I was there, at the nature preserve.

Unfortunately, and contrary to my limited knowledge of South Carolina wildlife, there were strange bears in this preserve. There was an orange one, a blue one and a green one. The green one was not only a bear, it was a topiary bear. That moved just as a living bear would move, because it was a real living bear made of boxwood. It must have smelled the skepticism on me because it tried to eat me repeatedly. At one point I had climbed a set of bunk beds and leapt to a hanging light fixture and topiary bear was still down there pawing at me and licking his leafy chops while I called for some Round-Up to take care of his ass.

I finally got rescued and was promptly escorted to the path out of the preserve by the rangers. I looked back and they were coddling and petting topiary bear like he had been the victim in the whole debacle. I was all indignant about that shit but I hiked on back down out of the preserve. Even in my dreams I have the good sense to know when to bow out.
