Could cause a change in breathing which may increase apnea events...Are you using Sleepyhead?

I had disturbing, strenuous, and sometimes bizarre dreams BEFORE cpap.
Apparently, they were related to untreated apnea, as they stopped with cpap.
If apnea slips through, you may dream as a result.
Single events are probably not significant--a pattern might need assessment.

I'm not on CPAP yet, but i am definitely suffering from SA...was diagnosed this week with Severe OSA...but lately I've had dreams....wake up, go pee, go back to bed and basically continue the same dream, almost like I hit pause....I think that is really weird....but after getting up in the morning, couldn't tell you what the dream was about, just that I know I had a dream.

A lot have issues during REM, it sounds like you are getting into REM and your dreams back.The vivid intensity should settle down, pressure during REM may not.
