Nicotine Patch Dreams

I forgot how vivid dreams can be with nicotine patches.  For example, I just had this dream where my family had a fatal auto accident (definitely not one of my favorite dreams).  In nicotine patch dreams, I have wider field of vision, deeper colors, sharper images, and longer memory afterward.  Sound quality seems about the same.

We were in our family van, heading north somewhere north of Golden Gate Bridge on Freeway 101.  Ahead of us were long lines of white Ford Thunderbirds, but the traffic was moving well past 60 mph with everyone tailgating each other.  My wife was in the passenger seat.  My son was sitting behind me in a child seat as well as driving behind me in another white Ford Thunderbird.  Then everything stops and our van started plowing through Thunderbirds after Thunderbirds.  While I am thinking, "I guess we are goners," I hear my wife yelling something like "aaaaeeee".  I then realized that she was in the middle of saying "Bye" the long way, so I started on the letter B knowing that I'll never get to the "aaaaeeee" part.  After what felt like hundreds of Thunderbirds, everything turns white and real quiet.  I peek open my right eye and find myself in our bedroom.  Whew!  Welcome to Day 3 without smoking.

Why can't I have dreams where I am stuck in an island with Kathy Ireland?  I'll risk being eaten by Ford Thunderbirds sporting shark fins.
