So the thing is

Dreams are supposed to be the mind sorting and copying loosely connected memories for long term storage (because cells don't have a long shelf life) and therefor utilizing the brain during sleep will in theory cause a person to not perform that regular maintenance and eventually sustain permanent brain damage or loss of memory.

You are not supposed to be aware of dreaming. Dream perception is a side effect of maintenance.
