Well the fact is that humans cannot sneeze while asleep.
Sneezing requires a reflex mechanism, wherein the sensory nerves in our
upper respiratory tract, esp nostrils, are stimulated by some stimuli
(mechanical or chemical or other)and these nerves then go to the CNS (i.e
brain) and as a final process excite the nerves which supply muscles pf our
respiration and the pharngeal region and the man sneezes thus. You must
know that this reflex is a natural means to protect our sensitive upper
respiratory tract from harmful influnces or, more appropriately, external
influences, be it a solid or a gas or as a response to some infection.
Now when the man sleeps, his brain is not working at its normal levels and
so even though the man's nerves have some external factor acting upon them,
no reflex is initiated and the man doesn't sneeze.
You must also know that when the stimuli continues or crosses a particular
level, it changes from an irritative agent to a source of maybe say pain
and the the man can have a disturbed sleep; there is a threshold for every
thing.

People sneeze when they are sleeping.
I've watched over people who were ill that sneezed - often it will wake them up, and they dont know what woke them up.
