depression usually leads to problems sleeping, which affects dreaming. when i became seriously depressed, i didn't have enough deep sleep to dream, so i had not had a dream in several months. within days of taking antidepressants, i started dreaming vividly. depression also lowers your ability to have insight into your problems. it is possible this happens partly due to the fect that you don't dream. of course, there is the whole big debate about what dreams are and what they do. it does seem beneficial to dream. i would definately try the med. good luck.
