Question: Sleep Apnea and bad dreams?I have sleep apnea.I have a horrible time with bad dreams. I've only been using my Auto-pap since february and often I tear the mask off my face when I am sleeping.I have the dreams all the time but they seem worse when I wake up without the mask. My dreams are of family and friends who have died. They are either in a dilapidated house with lots of creaky stairs and hidden rooms, or in the house I grew up in. I wake up scared to death.My question. Do you think when I stop breathing it triggers the dreams?
Answer: Are you on any medications? Some medications can increase dream activity, and make the dreams of a worse kind.If you are on meds, ask pharmacist about possible side effects including dreaming.It's also possible that wearing the mask is triggering a response at a deep level. Ask your doctor about this or consult a counselor.If it continues, and you can't find other answers, do consult a counselor/therapist, as they may be able to help.
