I'm not much of a user in this regard, so I can only comment on the abstract of the question here - but over the last couple of months I started some new medication that caused this. I'd never remember dreaming for quite a while, and then all of a sudden I did start to have very vivid dreams.

They're not nightmares, thankfully - but certainly the ones that make you wake up and go "What the fuck???". Recently I had a dream about a game show being started in my house, and the game was very much a "You can't leave until you meet X goal".

Then there have been some dreams that were not necessarily odd, not bad, but not "good" I guess?

Last week I had a dream where my boss had asked me to start working again on a project that I lead that was dropped midway. When I woke up, since it was still fresh on my mind, I was very close to messaging my boss to see if he wanted to better set the goals and requirements for the project... Until I realized that the conversation about reopening the project never happened. Thankfully I did realize that, or else it would've been quite awkward...

That last one worried me a bit, because I really don't want to start having dreams that cause me to not be able to keep an accurate accounting of what is real and what isn't - but thankfully it hasn't reoccurred.

I've just somewhat woken up, and definitely had another "WTF" dream, though I am unsure of what it actually was about.
