Was it possible to have been a medication? I had the same effect wehn started on Paxil and then Prozac, or visa versa. I had horrific maiming, murderous things happeing to me and my family in vived color. In fact when i told the doctor about the dreams, he said were they graphic horror movie types...
A side effect to some folks he said and took me down and then off them.
I hope you can reslove it, it is a terrible way to spend a night.
