Dreams last only a few minutes. The Sleep Cycle must go on. REM Sleep is only a few minutes. And then one cannot sleep for more than 10 or 12 hours anyway, unless one had been very very run down. So, your dreams will of course come to an end. Indeed, if you really think about it, you will not remember ever having had a dream which lasted more than several minutes. Yes, late in the night when the REM Cycles occur closer together, we might remember series of Dreams, but when the details are examined, no dream lasts for more than a few minutes.

Insomnia is the greater danger. There are people who can't fall asleep, but rarely ever a person who does not wake up. Just look! The World keeps spinning because everybody manages to wake from their Dreams and get to Work.

You have absolutely nothing to worry about.
