Question

If someone went to sleep at night and dreamed about the topic he is studying, is it considered as if he did not distract himself? And if he woke up a couple of hours later, does he need to recite the blessing on the Torah?

Answer

Hello,

By going to sleep, he distracted himself from further study. He is obligated to recite the blessing when he wakes up.

Therefore, even if he eventually dreamed about words of Torah, it does not cancel the distraction.
