I can say i've had (and still having) a similar even though not identical problem.
I'm experiencing weird dreams since I've been taking Prozac, even if i eventually quit it and switched to amytriptyline; these dreams are not exactly dreadful but quite annoying and somewhat unpleasant/gloomy. I noticed my sleep got somehow less satisying; i also realized that i incline to wake up much earlier.
My fiancé says that i often shout during my sleep. "It seems that you were yelling at somebody" he told me. I actually remember i was kind of fighting/getting angry.
