I also thought that my sleep apnea could be causing me to wake up during some of my dreams, and then I'd remember them. Though since being on CPAP now since March 22, I'm still waking up a lot during dreams and I'm not feeling any less exhausted than before CPAP. I think the excessive dreaming might be contributing to my excessive daytime sleepiness, but I'm not sure. I also dream during naps. I can wake up and fall back asleep, and go right into another dream. It feels like I'm dreaming even before I'm asleep, like when I'm getting close to drifting off.
I've read that sleep deprived people sometimes enter REM during the transition to sleep, and that jibes with my own experience as an OSA zombie. I don't know much, but it really sounds like something is still disturbing your sleep. Are you sure your therapy is working? What's your AHI like these days?

Just looked up the Falcon Position--might work for me! Will give it a shot tonight, although it will require my taking up more than my fair share of the bed
