Thread: Anyone have sleep apnea?

I'm curious how not being able to breathe influences dreams, and was looking for dreams and dream journals from people with sleep apnea.

Anyone with sleep apnea care to share any dreams?

Well I have what you could say is severely decreased muscle strength and effects my breathing quite a big amount when awake and I still dream as well as anyone else, at least I think I do, I haven't got many entries but here is mine: Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views - jackc45 - Dream Journals

Sorry if you meant something else, but I thought I would share anyway.

Well, in all reality I have no clue.

But! I could give you some crappy high school level science behind the brain!

Here goes:

Ok, so my theory, is that since dreams are basically our brain's backwash. The stuff that runs through our subconscious at night. And since the brain need oxygen to run properly, I think that it could affect your dreams. Maybe not have them as vivid, or harder to maintain lucidity, I dunno.

Feel free to shoot that down, I really have no clue.
