▲ 1 r/CPAP

Hi everyone,

I am relatively new to using an ASV after being diagnosed with CSA. I haven't dreamed since childhood, but now I dream pretty vividly just about every night using my machine, and this has continued for months.

I'm curious what everyone else's experience with dreams has been comparing before and after CPAP. Did you not have any dreams until using CPAP, or did you stop dreaming afterward? If you didn't dream until being treated like me, was it only temporary while you were "catching up" on lost sleep but slowly decrease, or should I expect this as the new norm?

Does this also potentially mean I may have unknowingly had CSA the entire time since I last dreamed regularly, which was in childhood? (It would explain a lot of long-term memory problems I started to notice in my 20s--I'm 30 now. If I should expect improvements in memory too, I would be all too happy to hear any opinions or anecdotes on that.)
