AHI's and Nightmares

[McSnoresalot]

I think my Flying Monkey dream counts as a nightmare: Have had it a couple times now, starts with a job interview - the Flying Monkey interviewer grills me about why I want to come to work for their Flying Monkey company - (to be honest, i have no idea why I'd want to work for them, from what I remember, their business model sucks and they seem to have a weak organizational structure) the interview eventually deteriorates into a bunch of yelling back and forth until Flying Monkey boy loses it and starts flying around the room screeching and throwing things. After that, I somehow end up talking to a Flying Monkey that's further up the food chain - he keeps telling me (in a smarmy used-car salesmans voice) about the TCT (Total Compensation Track) and benefits program which appears to consist of bananas and merit bonuses tied to GDP? On top of that, they keep shoving a non-compete/non-solicitation agreement in my face......

Roster - Let me see if I'm understanding you correctly provided you see this....
In answering the question, which came first the chicken or the egg...
You're proposing that the apnea events (or clusters) come folllowed by the nightmare. Am I understanding you correctly?

I don't think the sequence is a concern.

The priority should be preventing apneas so you don't have arousals and you don't remember nightmares.

Anecdotally, I used to have a lot of dreams about drowning that have gone away with CPAP. I suspect but cannot prove that the dreams were my brain's reaction to an event during REM sleep.

Exactly those type of night mares I used to have: drowning, someone strangling me, being stuck with my head in the mud. Terrible! If only I had known.

I had horrible nightmares before using my bipap machine. I felt tormented for months and months. I have had it , the machine, for about 2 and a half months and I have only had one dream that I would even consider "bad".
