I recently noticed that my heart was beating strongly when i was sleeping a couple of times. does it mean i have a heart condition?

Not good: You should not feel your heart beats when you are in deep sleep (NREM).The possible answer would be you were in a partially awake state called REM sleep and it is conceivable that you could feel your heart beats.
