I have overcame this by forcing myself to "dream". By this I mean put myself in a situation outside of my body so that I begin to think of this dream as the reality. My mind eventually turns off my local body receptors and falls into the dream. I also have a white noise in the background to help drown out all the sounds as any little sound change brings me back to reality. I hope this helps.
