Does anyone else have very vivid dreams during depression? I'm just interested if anyone knows if there are any links with depression and dreaming?
Mine have been so vivid lately that I don't know what's reality and what's what I've dreamt? Any help out there please? xXx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I do. I know for sure that the anti depressants cause me to have vivid dreaming.
But when I was in my last very deep depression it was different than that. I never call them night mares but I guess that is what they were. I would wake up full of anxiety. It got to where I was afraid to go into that bed. I think I was having psychotic features at this time. Before I started taking antidepressants I would sometimes have extremely vivid dreams that I would even call spiritual experiences when in a depression or some other state of duress.

I'm in a depression now and my dreams are definitely very vivid. The other night that I couldn't take my Xanax at bedtime (because I had ECT the next day), I had horrible nightmares that kept me from sleeping though. It was awful.

That's interesting that you both have different experiences... Zinco you're having vivid dreams whilst taking anti-depressants and newgal2 yours are caused by lack of your meds.
I read online this morning that coming off of anti-depressants can cause vivid dreams? Do you guys ever question whether something actually happened... Or was it a dream? I've not had this many dreams for a long time, and it's so very tiring  xXx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah sometimes missing doses for me causes it. Usually it is when stopping and starting a new one. But like I said I have had them where they having to do with meds.
The worst in severe depression with some psychosis. Even dreams of suicide. Wake up with huge anxiety and fear. Lately sleeping good but still lots of dreams. If you dream to much you don't get enough stage four deep sleep and don't feel rested. AD's have done this to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's hard to explain but when in the absolute deepest of depression my thinking can get slightly psychotic. Paranoid like every car that goes by is the cops coming to get me. Racing thoughts I can't shut off. Early in the mornings like 3 or 4 am waking up with tons of fear. It's really hard to explain because it is a weird feeling that goes with it besides anxiety like I am losing my mind. There is such a thing as depression with psychotic features and sometimes I get it. I have to be real bad and very suicidal before it happens but not always. Sometimes even when doing real good I feel like my mental health is hanging by a thread. Irrational fears and delusional maybe. Has a lot to do with my level of confidence I have noticed.

Oh I see what you mean. Thank you for your input Zinco, really appreciated.
That's a little bit like my dreams, so so real that when I wake I too wake fearful and anxious as I don't know if it's reality or a dream? xXx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have dreams and nightmares.
The dreams can be really weird! The nightmares are really horrible, Sometimes I wake up screaming or shouting, sweating buckets and feeling anxious. |
