Your sleeping time must be rather boring, or feel instantaneous.

I literally get around 7-8 hours sleep. And it goes so quick. BUT, when I do dream it's multiple story-lines, all completely fucked up and weird, but so realistic. My brain processes stuff a lot faster than can be performed in real life, EG I know this whole paragraph before typing it, so dreams must be hyper-speed when being 'displayed' to me.

Its a matter of thought to reaction speed. Some people can react close to instantly with what their thoughts are.
As far as being 'displayed" so quickly you don't recognize it, not entirely true. I'll admit its possible, but its not likely. You're more than likely someone who doesn't remember dreams, or one of the few who just doesn't have dreams, but that would be in the case of a severe psychological disorder. I have a relatively quick mind, which is why my dreams last longer (in my head at least) than those that my girlfriend has. She spends a few days worth of time in her elaborate dreams, whereas mine can span weeks.

Also possible is that you're not getting quality sleep, or get woken up without remembering before you can reach REM sleep and start over again.

I feel that I do lack sleep, but I defiantly don't wake up, as my house is always silent at night. I wake up to what's around me with myself acknowledging the fact I hadn't dreamt that night.

Well, easiest way to tell if its not reaching REM stage sleep is whether you wake up mentally tired or not.

It depends whether I chose to give myself motivation. I feel I have very strong mental control of my mind.

Well I don't mean like minutes after waking up, when I have dreams I wake up with my mind already going, so I'm already thinking before my body is even ready to move.

I mean like, if you feel sluggish in the mind right off the bat from getting up.

I always feel sluggish when waking up, apart from the off few times. But if I feel slow and unresponsive, I can just think "Right, just do it". And fling myself from my bed and almost force myself into a good mood.
