Drug side effect: It's possible that the hypnotic effect of the amitriptyline could be causing you to have very vivid or odd dreams, but I guess the biggest question here is whether the medication helps you get a full night's of restful sleep? If so and the dreams aren't that disturbing then I wouldn't worry too much about it and continue with the medication if it works for you.
