As a middle-aged husband and father, you would think I would know better. Thankfully, I have been blessed in the fact that I rarely suffer from stomach or intestinal issues. However, with that being said, I also know what to avoid unless I am just cruising for a bruising. I have no idea why, but if I consume chocolate in any form an hour or two before bedtime, I will almost certainly have nonsensical nightmares. If I eat Mexican or particularly spicy food, I will often have elaborate theatrical dreams.
It must have been the sweet Asian chili shrimp for supper that caused the incredibly detailed dream that I am about to share with you now.
