What a question!
I would start by cleaning the house and getting the mold and mildrew situation cleared up. Go to the drug store and get a bottle of saline solution "spray" and when you go to bed try that.
If that don't work try growing longer finger-nails. Yuk!....

Boogers are formed through the air we breath. The more polluted the air has become, the more booger your nose will get. Inside the nose, there are hairs which served as the filter, in order to protect your body, particularly your lungs from getting a dirty air. We cannot completely eliminate this sort of problem as long as we breath. To minimize it, wear an appropriate face (gas mask) whenever you go out, especially in downtown, where cars and other form of gas emitting equipments are contributing a lot of pollutants in the air. Stay healthy.

Before you go to sleep rinse the inside of your nose with a saline solution to irrigate your sinuses. Put a thin coat of vaseline or mineral oil with a q-tip to keep the nasal cavity moist. You might also try zycam that is a decongestant/saline solution that will keep everything moist, also you might try a humidifier in your room. The dry hard boogers might be from dry air.

Mucus is naturally produced by your body. It is needed inside your nose to filter out bad things from the air and prevent them from entering your lungs.

Stop breathing is the only sure way to keep them from forming.
Get a humidifier for your bedroom. Air conditioning drys out the air so you need to add moisture back to your bedroom.
