I had a friend stay the night. They kept pushing me to lay on my side when I would snore. I didn’t have any vivid intense nightmares that I remember, and I awoke feeling much better than usual. I think it could be a combination of a lot of things, but that seemed to help. I tend to be near people I trust when I’m scared. It’s how I feel safer. I have a thing where I overlook a lot of factors, so having someone nearby that can cover those areas intuitively helps with safety. Having them around may have helped with the fear in the dreams. They also pushed me onto my side whenever I would snore, so maybe that prevented me from having as much difficulty breathing. I want to order one of those long maternity pillows that keeps women on their side to see if that helps. If it’s only sleep apnea, then that would be a nice remedy. But I’m certain there are some psychological and situational factors influencing this as well.
