One of the side effects I have had with coming off a medication is vivid dreams and some were nightmares. I have found since being depressed I am overly sensitive to what I watch. So I try to watch happy and calming things on T.V. as well. I use to have dreams due to anxiety. So before I went to bed I would try to distract myself with positive things on T.V. or watch comedy routines on Youtube.

I don't take any medication at the moment, but I've read that weird dreams could be a side effect of some medications. Not that I'd be able to tell the difference personally, since I've always had weird dreams. ^_^

I have the same thing. My dreams feel so real and I know which pill does that to me. I dream evrry night and I remember my dreams the next morning as if they really happened.
