Weird Leak - big_dave - 08-18-2012

Last night, I had a dream about late-night construction noise keeping me from going to bed. I woke up to find that my chinstrap had turned a mouth leak into a long-lasting Bronx cheer. What a weird way to wake up.

Good grief. The weirdness never ends, huh? Hope you were able to shake the feeling off.

Sounds like when my mom was sleeping at night and thought her pillow-case had come off, so she put it back on...

In the morning light she found that her pillow was neatly dressed with my dad's undershirt. Rolleyes

Hi big_dave, Dreams can seem so real. Hopefully, you got back to sleep o kay after that funny episode, (Ha-Ha-Ha.)


RE: Weird Leak - big_dave - 08-18-2012

I got back to sleep within about 5 minutes, but I took a short ride on the subway in another dream. I have to wonder if the same thing happened again. When I looked at my graphs, my leaks were somewhat higher than normal but still well below 24.

Once before I started CPAP, I dreamed that I was on the battlefield in Iraq. I'm a 1980's veteran and I never saw combat. I woke up to a neighbor loudly banging on the wall to complain about my snoring.

I remember many weird dreams before the CPAP. Almost every night. I would wake up feeling absolutely awful. Never had a neighbor banging on my wall because of snoring though!

I am quite thankful that, for the most part, those awful dreams have not come back. If they do, I will most definitely check my stats and see if there is a correlation.

Before I started CPAP therapy I would always have bad dreams when I was laying on my back but now, I rarely have that problem any more.

BCPAP (before cpap), I had weird dreams. I could control them, stop, rewind, change, even repeat over and over. Then, ACPAP (after cpap) I had about three, maybe 4 weeks of intense dreams, near nightmarish. I could no longer control them and I could almost hear my brain doing the mad scientist laugh in the background. "Mwahaha! You can't stop me now!"

Before CPAP I had dreams that scared me. The common theme was that "it's not safe". There was always some danger that terrorized me.
