does klonopin cause vivid dreams?

I am on Klonopin in the morning and a little higher dose in the evening. I haven't had "vivid" dreams, but I can say that I have been having some dreams. I am not used to dreaming though because I have insomnia. The Klonopin has been helping me sleep so probably put me in a different "level" or deeper level of sleep so I am more able to remember my dreams. They aren't disturbing dreams are they?

I take Klonopin at night and I have not had any vivid dreams, although I think I am having SOME dreams, I just don't really remember them now. I used to have very fitfull sleep with lots of vivid bad dreams that would plauge me all day. The Klonopin is very relaxing for me and actually allows me to shut all that crap out before bed. That's just my experience on it so far.

Hi DawnMarie and All-Cat:

I guess I should hav said "more than usual" dreams, rather than "vivid."

I'm on low-dose (.25 mg) klonopin, at night, and it just seems that I'm having way more dreams than ever before.
But, it may be, like one of you said, that the medicine puts me in a more relaxed sleep.
No, the dreams are not disturbing......Jerry

i dont think K has much effect on dreams, however by calming you it may make the dreams easier to remember
