    Scary dreams can be triggered by drug use ... or life expeiences, like really stressful events...etc. It would depend which meds you were taking. Try doing something relaxing before going to bed: physical exercise, meditation, and yoga can all help you to sleep better - try one of them! If your nightmares persist and are really beginning to mess up your life ... speak to your GP.

    Taking AD can make you have some really fucked up dreams.

    People in your dreams often represent different parts of yourself &
    death in a dream can mean the death or change to a part of your personality or the end of a certain phase in your life. AD's maybe helping you, maybe your changing already with the help from your drugs.

    You mean anti-depressents?

    I have had some very powerful dreams in the past, some of which have been when I've used drugs. Whether you want to take a spiritual approach to dreams or a psychological approach is up to you.... But as long as you remember dreams can't hurt you.

    Do you find you can wake yourself up in the middle of your dreams?
