Anxiety dreams all night and waking up anxious

Anxiety dreams all night and waking up anxious
I feel like I am finally mostly sleeping through the night without waking up dozens of times from leaks or other issues. Subjectively though it feels like constant anxious dreams all night and then I wake up anxious. 

During my sleep study, I had severe apnea during REM sleep. I am trying to fix some big cognitive problems including memory loss, so I would be pleased to have uninterrupted  REM sleep.

I can't tell whether all this anxiety dreaming is a bad thing and means my RERAs are still not being relieved (I had roughly equal RERAs and hypopneas) or its a good thing because I am dreaming. Before CPAP, I had strange and distressing dreams, but rarely would if feel like I dreamt literally all night with this type of dream.

Without having data, the best anyone can do is guess. Please post some OSCAR charts for folks to review. The links explaining OSCAR installation and chart formatting are in my signature if you need more information.

Also, please a fill in the information on your profile for your machine, mask, and settings. The more data we have, the better.
