One night, trying to sleep after a night of heavy drinking, I had a dream that I was in the bathroom, trying to calm my stomach by drinking water from the sink, using my hand to scoop it up to my mouth. But then, the water started getting soapy for some reason, and so I tried to drink faster, before the water got too sudsy. My roommate was at the sink next to me and said something to me, but I didn't understand him. That was my dream.
The next day, my roommate told me what had happened during the night. He was in the bathroom, and I came in and threw up in the sink. Since the sink was a little clogged, the vomit stayed inside. I then turned on the faucet and started scooping up the vomit to my mouth, trying to drink it. And apparently I said something like "must...drink water...before...soapy..."
Another time, I rode my bicycle to a party, got drunk, then tried to ride it back. I fell over about 50 times. The hardest part though, was finding my balance in order to start moving. Since it was dark, I also got lost, and fell over on someone's lawn at a dead-end street. I laid there for a while, and almost fell asleep, but I gathered up the will to set off again. After a while, I ended up back where I started, for I had gone in the wrong direction. I turned around again, and noticed that one of my shoes was missing. When I finally got to my street, I went back and forth, falling from the cracked, uplifted sidewalks, wondering why I couldn't find my apartment house. Then I realized I was looking at the wrong side of the street. I finally saw it, went inside and slept.
I went looking for my shoe a few days later, even looking in the dumpsters, but I never found it. 
But I learned my lesson: Don't drink and drive, no matter what vehicle.
I'm now 50 scrapes and bruises wiser.
