nasty dreams can be caused by antidepressants and other psychiatric meds, so do you take any?

yes Abilify could be the reason thanks

I get nightmares alot where my teeth are falling out (this is meant to mean I feel out of control) fits the bill. I also had a dream once where a monster was chasing me and i kept running and trying to lock doors behind me but none would shut so i would run to another room and the same would happen. Until i finally thought - stuff this, i am going to turn around and fight this thing even if i die trying. so i did and i killed it.. anyway lol the moral to my story is i think the monster was my anxiety and represented me always running away from it - i need to turn and face it head on and stop running. the end :)

Im not on meds but I have crazy nightmares. The other night I had one about crashing my car with my mom. And when I got out all my friends and family were tripping on some new drug and I was the only sober one. Their heads were whipping around and then they got really violent and super strong. One person ripped off a part of another loved ones skull and he was screaming really high pitched trying to hold his brain in his head...

hi
i feel like im sleeping my life away,4 me i know its from my meds(seroquel)which have a powerful sedative affect,i sleep between 10-12 hours usually,and even when i wake im still sedated at least first 6 hrs or so,4 me sleeps become like hitting my self in the head with a sledgehammer and i rarly remember my dreams(though i do remember just enough to know i was dreaming and am missing something good)
i think sleep is supposed to be a enjoyable privalage for successful lifeforms and dreaming is beutiful and perhaps helps our imaginary abillitys

strange dreams can be caused by some meds, especially antidepresssants
