A member asked:
Is it bad that i cannot remember my dreams or even if i even dream at all? i have moderate sleep apnea, maybe that prevents me from dreaming?

Dreams: Many do not remember dreams. Sleep apnea should not prevent dreaming because rem sleep is first. I hope you are using sleep equipment.

Maybe: Untreated sleep apnea may be preventing you from getting into the stage of sleep where you dream which means you are not getting a good nights sleep. A change needs to be made in your treatment or you need to start treatment. With moderate sleep apnea the first line of treatment is with an oral appliance unless enlarged tonsils or adenoids are responsible. A breathing machine is the next choice.
