I've been on Sertraline to deal with my anxiety for a few months, about 2 weeks ago they upped my dosage and it does seem to help a lot with my anxiety.
I've been having some really bizarre dreams though, nothing scary, quite fun actually but so so wacky. Last night I remember collecting wrestling beanie babies (there was hundreds of them) and counting a 3 count for Kurt Angle with hot dog arms... Along with other dreams I can't really broadcast on the forums!
Just wondering if anyone else is on, or has been on similar medication, and has really odd dreams too?
I'm at the doctors tomorrow and I'm wondering if to tell her about these dreams, I don't seem to be having any other side effects.

I'm on Sertraline myself and can't say I've noticed any weird dreams, or maybe my dreams are just weird as standard.
If it's only been a couple of weeks since you've upped your dosage you're probably still adjusting to the change and you might find that the dreams stop over time.
It probably is worth mentioning to the doc even if it's just to get confirmation that it's a possible side effect, but as long as the dreams aren't bothering you or having an effect on your life, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Haven't been on that, but when I take OTC stuff or melentonin supplements I tend to dream in third person, like I am just watching a show, but I have some control over it. It sounds weird, and I wish I could jot it down in a drawing.

My girlfriend is also on anti-anxiety medication and she's been dealing with the same thing for the last few weeks. She's having really realistic, lucid dreams about a wide variety of weird stuff.

I haven't had any unusual dreams since I started taking Sertaline a few years ago. Though I'm also not sure how big your dosage is, so.

My Xanax will do that sometimes, usually if I am stressed before bed

I was on Sertraline for a while but I don't remember having crazy dreams.
First time I took Ambien..... wow.
I'm on other sleep meds now and my dreams are all over the place.
