Mefloquine induced dreams

My anti-malarial medication states that I will experience dizziness (check), headache (check), insomnia (sometimes check), and vivid dreams (check). Here I'll just delve into my experiences with the last of the lovely quadruplet.

An average night in Tofo looked a little something like this:

Fall asleep exhausted at 10 pm.
Dream one: I'm walking around a labyrinth like structure looking for my classrooms when I run into my APUSH teacher, Phipps. He takes me into a class with windowed walls where Tsuna in "reborn" form (from hitman reborn.. if you don't get it, don't worry), a gundam, and a fat girl in cosplay are doing bicycle crunches on a hardwood floor.
Dream two: Michael Jackson is young and dapper and deathly skinny, dancing around and showing me how to moon walk while the light bounces off his glittering pants and suit.
I wake up at some random hour, battling with my mosquito netting and see that it is still dark outside. Readjust, fall asleep again.
Dream three: I was the hero. There were people after me. As I was holding a meeting atop a sky scraper someone detonated a bomb that caused the entire building to collapse (conveniently in slow motion). I rebounded off nearby buildings to save myself and saved an old man in the process. Once on the ground I transformed into a female version of myself (was I male before?) and someone else transformed into the male version of me to try to trick those who wanted me dead.
Dream four
: My high school friend R had filled the bottom of a warehouse with treats and goodies for his crush, D's birthday. There were crackers with jam, lots of savory goodies, and all in costco style, stacked up and in units of 1000. D came in and was not impressed. Meanwhile, starving African people walked through while grocery shopping. We tried telling the cashiers not to let these people take what R had stockpiled but by then it was too late. R looked around the empty room and lamented that he had spent 60,000 USD on the whole affair! At this point D started to feel a bit guilty and so we turned on music and started a cypher. D did a few awkward ccs and another friend from HS, T, egged me on to participate. I top rocked a bit and woke up at
6 am. Just in time to see the sun rise
