Does depression cause more vivid dreams?

Question

i really need to know and i can't find information on it anywhere

Answer 1

ive been depressed since the 3rd grade and never had any vivid dreams till i started my anti psychotic

Answer 2

While I can't give a professional opinion, I was mildly depressed two years ago and I had extremely detailed dreams, more detailed than usual.

They also seemed to all mean something (and I hate dissecting dreams, my mom's a therapist... ugh)

Answer 3

I think that depression causes you to sleep more, which makes you dream more. The more you dream the better the chances of having vivid dreams that you happen to remember. Just a theory.
