If you've ever dreamt that you've won a lottery or that you asked a woman out and she said yes, and then you wake up in a good mood - and then 30 seconds later you think "Aargh! It was just a dream" - Ambien can nurture that delusion for waking hours, not waking seconds.
If you wake up in the middle of the night and think for a second that the coat rack is an intruder, on Ambien that momentary hallucination might last for a while and then recur, making you question what you're seeing and hearing for much longer than a second or two.
But Ambien does not turn a normal person into a cold, premeditated killer.
ah.....”premeditated”...but...but...the government said it was because of a leave thing...yeh, right...
