i also had a very vivid and clear dream of the inside of my car from like a wide view and the car was brand new and very bright with vivid colors that to was cool. so just wondering if this is normal.

The situation you had where you heard the voices is related to hypnagogic hallucinations. It's really common, and things like Ambien increase your chances of something like that happening.

It's not normal, but it does happen. Ambien can do very weird things to people, including hallucinations, delusions, and amnesia.
"Before a user becomes fully acclimated to these [normal side] effects (or if the user does not become acclimated), these symptoms can be severe enough to be deemed as drug-induced psychosis."

Delusions can be a side effect of Ambien. I had hallucinations and my doctor said it's common. You should definitely mention it to your doctor. I became dependent on it as well, and was glad when I was through.

You're allergic to it. My cousin has visual and auditory hallucinations on Ambien. Stop taking it and notify the doctor who prescribed it.
