I'm new on here, but I have been experiencing the same thing. Sometimes the dreams are pleasant. Before I was diagnosed with BP, I could recall my dreams like memory instead of remembering my actual memories...if that makes sense.

The nightmares started about a month ago. I asked my psych about it and he said it wasn't med related. The nightmares are like real life scenarios then they shift to an almost acid trip coloring and everything is melting. Then these little evil toys come out and start killing other little toys. I have yet to research toy on toy violence in the dream dictionary, but I'm sure like someone said it's something subconscious coming to the surface. I've now had that dream about 4 times in the past 2 weeks.

It's strange and I just wanted to share.
