My thought when reading your post was uh oh, did you miss a dose of your medication or recently increase the dosage of one? Both can trigger vivid dreams for me, I often refer to them as Steven Spielberg techno color dreams. They say that we don't dream in color I don't think that is true. It can also cause intrusive thoughts. I was so sensitive to Paxil even if I missed one dose, the next night I could count on vivid dreams and night sweats. Probably due to interrupted sleep I would feel like I was in a fog the next day. I think that might have been the reason for the intrusive thoughts.

I also have dreams where I wake up l having a panic attack. My heart racing, chest pressure, night sweats, all my little hairs are standing on end, my stomach twisted into a knot, I never remember what those are about but I know I have them when I am highly stressed. Those are much different than the techno dreams.
