Yea, its just your dreams I think. I've suffered lots of dream stuff which has put me off certain meds. And one thing that always gives me strange dreams is when I stop using cannabis, resulting in night terrors, bad dreams and such, and I think its coz cannabis either suppresses REM sleep or simply stops you remembering a dream so it feels like you didn't dream. so if u smoke then at least cut down.
Because these mini hallucinations happen upon waking theres no surprise to me that you wake with them. Sounds an odd symptom, but not a surprise. I'd only worry if they continued AFTER 30mins of waking. Then something like quetiapine might help. I've had loadsa dream problems with meds, esp trimipramine, valdoxan and strong pro-serotonin meds. And I'm also on an MAOI too, Marplan.
It also seems common amongst Parnate users to think that the initial response is the main antidepressant effects. But the main theraputic effect kicks in AFTER the common energy burst. I wouldn't worry in the short term.teck
