Anyone else using Farxiga and have crazy repeating dreams

Yesterday was my first day to use Farxiga. Last night's sleep was weird. I dreamed about a living tree that looked similar to the tree of life on the wall at the Micropia museum in Amsterdam. I cannot remember it all, other than to say I felt different parts of my body that were a bit painful. Then at one point, not long before I woke up, a voice inside my body, perhaps my body itself, screamed at me. It was quite strange. I could see only a small round face and the mouth opened as it screamed. It seemed to be trying to get my attention. It was angry.
I went to bed at about 3 .m., and woke up around 7:40. I will go back to bed now.

Interesting. I'm not really familiar with Farxiga:
Farxiga (dapagliflozin) is a prescription oral tablet used to improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes, reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure, and slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. As an SGLT2 inhibitor, it works by helping the kidneys remove sugar from the body through urine.
OK. I am familiar with drugs that impact your dreams, or at least your ability to recall them, beta blockers do that and I've experienced some of that for many years now. They don't seem particularly good or bad. I've gotten pretty good at doing a quick dream analysis, before I completely forget them, and they often have to do with something I did, or saw, or read the previous day. I've noticed I have entire dream worlds with geography and characters I sometimes return to, and that fact is stranger than any of the fantasies in the dream!
I am curious about one thing - what were your glucose readings the previous day and next day? I would not be at all surprised if simply because Farxiga was working, the level of your blood glucose itself put a spin on your dreaming!
