If Beverly had sedated Jean Luc during Sarek, or if a meld were initiated on an already unconscious person? Is this ever touched on in universe or extended universe?

In VOY S5E07: Infinite Regress, Seven was sedated and Tuvok mind-melded with her to save her from the effects of the Vinculum. The way it was portrayed there, it would be like the mind melder entering the dream of the meld-ee.
So in reality, REM sleep is only a small portion of the cycle, right? What if they weren’t dreaming?
And what happens if it starts as a conscious meld, like in Sarek? Would Sarek have collapsed as the meld entered a dream?
