Hi,
Zoloft can affect the sleep and dreams are very common as well as perceptual experiences you mentioned. You can take the same in the mornings if it affects your sleep. Also, Zoloft is an SSRI, used for anxiety and depression and not a primary drug for ADHD.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
