Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
I believe what you are telling me is that dreams are waking you up. This is a normal phenomenon, and is not caused by your medications. Medications will also not change this one way or another. As long as you are getting enough sleep and the dreams don't bother you, this shouldn't be a problem. Just continue to take your medications as you currently are.
