Earlier, I used to have dreams. Sometime during my depression I stopped having them. I started going to therapy and few months later I started having dreams again.

So if medication can affect the ability (?) to have dreams, can it also affect nature or tone of dreams?

    Many psychoactive substances can affect your dreams. Usually when I have fully “sober” dreams, they’re mundane and ordinary (in the dream, I’ll wake up and go to work and talk to my coworkers and then go home), and I generally wouldn’t remember too many details after I wake up. When I took SSRIs, I’d have wilder, more vivid dreams that I remember for years. When I smoke weed heavily, I’m unlikely to dream at all and will just kinda “time-travel” to waking up.
