If you are experiencing intense scary dreams, it may be related to the sub-conscious mind where u levelled with your past experience. You should discuss about that further with your counsellor.

For side effects, it is best to consult your doctor, although websites offer information, your doctor is the best person to know whether it is a side effect of the treatment he/she is administering on you.

Some ppl do have hallucinations with various treatments however, as I mentioned, due to leveling past experiences. If u r on other medications as well in the treatment.
