Only two?: Most people normally dream 4 or 5 times a night. You're not dreaming "too much," you're waking up after (presumably) periods of REM sleep. There are any number of possible reasons why of which medication side effects is only one. If your awakenings keep you up long enough to cause sleep deprivation, see a doctor about it. Start with a primary care practitioner.
