    No it isn’t. You’re only dreaming during REM sleep. This is like, sleep cycle 101 here. The periods of deep sleep where your brain is doing its deep repair work? Your consciousness is not just reduced, but absent entirely. During slow-wave sleep, you have no awareness. The reason you haven’t noticed these while you are sleeping is because you cannot be aware of your own periods where you completely lack awareness.
