New to all this, including message boards, but I did the study and am scheculed for the titration next, and was talking in my sleep during a REM part of the study sanely (unusual even when awake) and clearly enough that the sleep technician thought I was calling him and came to wake me up.

I would guess that I've enjoyed OSA for at least 20 years or more.

Which brings me to British scientist John Locke. Is anyone familiar with his hypothesis and mathematical groundwork on how and why dreams fortell the future? What is the relation between dreams, talking in our sleep, and OSA? Personally, I no longer write down my dreams immediately after waking. Perhaps I'd rather not know, but it was real and accurate when I did that. People looked at me strangely when I told them things that would happen because I had dreamed them. And avoided me when it actually came to pass.

  Finally, is there long term hope for those of us with diagnosed severe sleep apnea.

Best,
Walt

It will be a year that I will have been on cpap.  I have not felt this good for a long time.  I would not drean of sleepig without it.  I have even taken my cflex machine on my flight to Jacksonville FL.  I can now fall asleep and not have any fears of not wakening, atleast in this world.  I'll be checking into John Locke.  Did he write a book?  
After about two to three weeks on the cpap you should notice a difference in your over all awaken hours.

Hello Walt,
