Continuously Dreaming during Sleep

I have been suffering from this unique sleeping disorder. I dream whole night continuously and wake up exhausted every morning.  Most of the people think it's any kind of psychological disorder even doctors just prescribe antidepressants and sleeping pills. Familly members are supportive but they could only give advice like wake early, do exercise. I nearly browsed the whole internet to get an ultimate cure for this problem but got nothing except "the change your routine"advice. There are many old forums where people discussed the similar problem but now they are closed without any conclusion. 

I have this problem from 2014 when I was doing my masters. During the final exams and due to other circumstances I felt some anxiety so went to a psychiatrist and he prescribed me 1.Imipramine 2.Diazapam 3.Trifluoperazine 4.Nitrazepam of different brands. After few days my exams over so I stopped taking pills suddenly from a night.From that night till today I didn't get a single dreamless sleep every morning wake up exhausted.there are many nights I did not get sleep at all. Since then I have visited many Allopathic, Homeopathic and Ayurvedic doctors, have tried several of medicines and supplements but nothing helped me. And you guys obviously aware of side effects especially in the case of allopathy like day drowsiness and brain fog.I also got my blood tested nothing significant but a deficiency of Vitamine D so started taking Vitamins. Till now no appeared benefits. It's like living in a hell, could do many things in life but first wanna get rid of this curse.I even tried spiritual ways.

If you could help me in any way  I will be highly grateful to you.

    The day I stopped risperidone cold turkey,my brain too get into dream condition when ever I attempt to sleep.I suffered 60 days.Later A doctor prescribed me olanzapine 5 m.g.I started using it.Because I found people with same condition ,suffering from so many years ,without cure,at the site called surviving antidepressants.Example: Poetjester.

    Olanzapine working very nice for me.good sleep without dreams.good emotional balance etc.no drowsy feeling at day time etc.

    I tried to live without medication for dreamful sleep.Experienced several symptoms like breath stopping during the dream.listening the voice of characters during the dream.so out of fear I started using olanzapine.5 mg is very low dose.I am very thankful for the doctor who prescribed it.

    I stopped risperidone cold turkey because I was un aware of tapering system.That doctor who prescribed Risperidone didn't warn me about tapering system.
