> Lunesta and Ambien will disrupt normal sleep architecture and reduce REM sleep. They have a weaker sedative/hypnotic effect than the Klonopin you're taking in any case. Have you considered an antidepressant such as Remeron, or the TCA Trimipramine? Both these meds promote REM. The Klonopin will likely suppress it though.

The only antidepressant I know of that promotes REM sleep rather than suppress it is Wellbutrin. I think there are a handful of others, but I don't remember which ones.
