Hello Tynya,

HOORAY!!!!

As I understand it, dreams are part of rapid eye movement(REM)sleep and most of us with sleep apnea don't get to the REM sleep stage before an arousal happens.

Soooo...(and someone please correct me if I'm wrong! *grin*) sounds like you're REMing to me, hon!! WooooHooooo!!!

I've been waking up in the wee hours and finding the mask off - the difference is that I wake to the point of AWARENESS and can put it back on...that helps a whole bunch and I've had a couple of pretty weird dreams myself lately!!

I'm thrilled for you, Tynya...sounds like things are looking up!! :)

Jo
