Maybe you could deplete more acetylcholine during the day to have a calmer sleep. Huperzine A, which is a acetylcholineesterase inhibitor might do this, and supposedly Piracetam. However Huperzine might also strengthen your acetylcholine and memory pathways, which might also intensify dreams. Anyway, you could also directly take an acetylcholine blocker, like the antihistamine diphenhydramine seems to be. Your REM sleep would either be strongly reduced or limited to the endphase of your sleep.

I have the exact same thing since 2016, mine was exacerbated by a psychosis.
Tried 20+ different sleep meds from which only Mirtazapine and Clonidine seems to work to prevent me from dreaming and waking up from it but my psychiatrist doesn't want to prescribe Clonidine (bought it offlabel and I noticed tolerance building up fast) and I can't use Mirtazapine because of drug drug interaction.
Had 2 polysomnograph's and on both my sleep/dream disorder was found but sleepdoctors and the psychiatry could not explain why I wake up from excessive dreaming.
I have a old forum thread about excessive dreaming and waking up from it of mine here with lots of suggestions.
The only thing in 3 years that I found really helpful (after the psychiatry and sleepclinic gave up on idea's to tackle my sleepdisorder) was alcohol abuse and/plus smoking CBD hemp strains. Alcohol helps but you know it's effects/side's and strong CBD hemp works really GREAT but it's too expensive in the long run for me.
