When i sleep on my back i have nightmares why?

Dunno: I thought maybe low oxygen levels (as in sleep apnea) induced by sleeping on back, but several experiments say no, also no general association of nightmare and back sleeping. Side sleeping is supposed to be more comforting...or perhaps you just remember more in one position?
