How much Remeron are you taking? When I was taking 15mg I found that it knocked me out, but I had a lot of vivid dreams. Increasing the doseage blocks the vivid dreams & increases the amount of time spent in deep sleep. If you are on 15mg, it is worth increasing it in small steps as 22.5mg can be better than 15mg or 30mg.

Cheers,
