Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. The symptoms you are showing like no awareness of sleep even while you are sleeping and you have feelings that you can hear what is going around you even during sleep etc could occur due to psycho-physiological insomnia. In this disorder individuals develop good sleep but they are not aware of that sleep and they complaint that they couldn't sleep normally. This cause significant distress to individuals and result in day time drowsiness. The problem of increased dreaming during sleep is also most likely due to some sleep related disorder. I would advise you to please consult a psychiatrist as soon as you can for proper treatment. Medicines like Benzodiazepiens or Z-drugs can help in good sleep. These medicines will also reduce the REM sleep and thus the dreaming will be reduced and you will feel better. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.
Thanks, Take care. Hope this helps you.
