Would you have preferred to just die in your sleep without your husband knowing?
Most of the time, CPAP users experience "nicer" dreams than they were having before they started therapy. Sometimes when the users have worse dreams, it MAY indicate that their therapy isn't optimized. So, if you have a data-capable machine, I would strongly urge you to get some software (like Sleepyhead, which is free) to monitor your therapy. Your pressure settings may not be optimized or you may be having mouth leaks which can minimize, compromise or nullify the effectiveness of your therapy. Sometimes, medications can affect sleep, too.
It would help if you knew WHY you had the nightmare. Just saying "OMG, I had a nightmare!" isn't getting to the root of the problem.
