I had this strange dream last night that I was fighting Endermen in my survival map and picking up the Enderpearls that they dropped. I went to eat a porkchop to restore my health, but I accidentally scrolled to the Enderpearls. Immediately after eating one of the pearls, my health and hunger bar had this strange purple glow around it, kind of like the green glow around your hunger that occurs after eating rotten flesh, and some purple particles started to fly around my head. I tried to walk back to my house, but I couldn't due to the terrain twisting and changing shapes. The day began changing to night and back very fast, and I started seeing Endermen and skeletons lined up on the hills surrounding me. All at once, they teleported and made a tight circle around me, closing me in. As quick as they appeared, however, they disappeared into a cloud of smoke and everything returned to normal.
It was the weirdest thing, but it got me thinking: How about something that, when consumed, causes strange hallucinations? Like failed potions (1.9), or, like my dream, Enderpearls? Not EXACTLY what I described, but something that just distorts the perception of Minecraft reality and possibly spawn hostile mobs that aren't there. The objects that cause the hallucination could even poison you.
I don't know.. Sounds kind of stupid when I look back and read what I just typed, but I just wanted to share a small idea/thought that I had after a strange dream. Even if you disapprove, discuss(:

Maybe when you teleport it causes such hallucinations that you don't know are real or not. Example:
A creeper comes up from behind and explodes. You die, respawn, and you are back where the "creeper" blew up, same health and hunger, still have all your items, no crater.

I am meowing at my lung’s fullest. I would even argue that the echo that reverberates back to me is the voice of someone I know…
I had a dream that I was Simon Pegg from shaun of the dead, but all the zombies where blocky and there were also endermen and creepers. I was in the winchester pub >_>
that is a cool concept, I totally agree that there should be something along the lines of this; but at a game developers perspective what would it do to effect game play?

Thinking deeper into that, it could be used as a poison. A consequence for carelessness, i guess. In my dream, i was trying to scroll to my pork, but ended up chewing on an Enderpearl.. Then again, you have to hold down the right mouse button so that could be out of the question...

that idea could work, maybe an overlay (like the pumpkin GUI, except even harder to see through) that could pop up on chance when you use an enderpearl teleport or a potion? that could be a nice addition, and would make emergency potion-using a risk. maybe even a higher chance in hard/hardcore mode?
I had a dream that I escaped Freddy Kreuger by using a cherry pie to distract him. You don't see that in game, do you?
That would be incredible. Someone give Notch a call.

dude, you're dreaming about minecraft. seriously, do something else for a few days.
It was one dream. Seriously, it's not like my life is Minecraft. I have a life and I do other things a lot more often that play that game, for example, my most favorite thing to do is to play guitar. I do THAT daily. I guess my brain just decided to pick "Minecraft" as the subject for that night's dream. Just because I had a SINGLE dream about a game that I like to play every so often, doesn't mean that I play it EVERY DAMN DAY. holy god...

Maybe you haven't played Minecraft enough.

I had a dream about Minecraft, so that automatically suggests I play too much? Well, I don't, good sir/madam.
