Lexapro

Just curious if anyone experienced really vivid dreams while taking Lexapro. They aren't nightmares but don't always make sense. But I usually remember them very vividly when I wake up or if I am woken up in the middle of the night (usually by my cats or the snoring of my fiance lol) I can recall them easily. Not a bad thing but wondering if this is a thing others experience?

Vivid dreams are a known side effect. I used to get nightmares most every night which woke me up feeling upset around 4 am before starting escitalopram (lexapro) but now these have stopped and just vivid (but not scary) dreaming which has been much better. X
