i want to sleep constantly

All I do is keep having these amazingly strange dreams. I am experiencing really intensely visual dreams where I am inside famous old paintings, usually bruegel paintings. Typically I am alone, without all the characters and can investigate the scenery. I can pick up the paint and stick my hands under it or go inside buildings in the painting. I also have had dreams about making painting where the paint is so real it becomes something else if you touch it. For instance the patchwork field in the distance ( of a hypothetical painting I made in that dream) resembles a weaving. When you touch it, it actually becomes a weaving of paint and I could pick up the warp of gooey red oil. Is this strange? I try to talk to certain people about this and they never have the same experiences. Does anyone else have really visually stimulating dreams?
