Teen eats mushrooms, shoots himself in forehead so he could wake up from a nightmare.

The strange incident occurred Tuesday. Deputies were called to Florida Hospital DeLand at 5:54 p.m. Tuesday where they found Steve Tilbury, 17, with a .22-caliber bullet hole in the center of his forehead, investigators said.

Tilbury told investigators he and some friends ate mushrooms and drank a tea made from the substance Tuesday afternoon. His friends left his house shortly after and he fell asleep.

"Tilbury said he woke up and it felt like it wasn't real," deputies wrote in the report.

Tilbury told investigators he felt like he was awake in a bad nightmare and could not escape from his house.

"He said after he shot himself he didn't wake up from the bad dream," the report states.
