I think I discovered an analog to Gaussian-Mersenne primes

353,367,379,457,997,1367,3041,10141,14699,27529,49207,77291,
85237,106693,160423,203789,364289
These are primes of the form (1+i)^n - 1 . (1+i)^4 - 1, -5, is also prime.
I took a look at primes of the form (1+i)^n + I, and thought it interesting
enough to list.
