Though I haven't had as many lately (which is odd, 'cause I just upped my dose) I have had some crazy dreams on Effexor. They're not usually violent (though sometimes they are a little) but they are INTENSE. I remember them strongly and they often involve high emotion - fear, love, guilt, happiness - and strong physical sensation. I'm not always myself in them, if you know what I mean - sometimes I watch the dream from the perspective of a character who isn't me specifically. I had a VERY romantic dream the other night where I married a guy who's my best friend in real life (and who I don't normally think that way about) and, unlike previous wedding dreams I've had, this time, I made it to the wedding night...strong physical sensations that I could remember the next day. It's very odd for me to dream soemthing like this as I'm not really very *cough**blush* experienced in that department...at all. So that was pretty intense for me. But on the whole, I have found my effexor dreams to be more entertaining than not, not because they're particularly happy, but because they're exciting and intriguing, and because I remember them better than usual on waking up, and can mull over them in my mind. They also seem to be more connected and have more of a storyline than my regular dreams.
