I agree with @rashida - many medications have this side effect. Bupropion is one of them.

Have you looked into lucid dreaming? I haven’t tried it but I have heard it can be a great technique to learn so that you can control your dreams and hopefully that will help you feel more empowered and less scared.

It sounds like a therapist might be able to help you work through some of your painful history. I wish you peace, and a good night of sleep too.

Thanks for weighing in on this, Ash. 'Lucid Dreaming' is something I am unacquainted with, hence potentially illuminating. I'll look into that. [I've probably got enough going on to provide a psychiatric doctoral candidate some great material for a dissertation, LoL! I also suspect that one of the best possible 'therapists' might be A.A.Milne's 'Tigger' character (in Winnie the Pooh), which is ironic and oxymoronic, because my nickname has been 'Tigger' (don't tell anyone!) for many years.]
As the Bard said, "To sleep, perchance to dream—aye, there's the rub"... Cheers, Justin
