Ok, should I use "as/while she was in a deep sleep"?

You can talk about sleeping if you want to.
But my point was that you can also just say She had a dream in which her boss appeared to her and gave her an assignment. When you talk about a dream, we assume that the person is asleep, so you don't have to say so (unless you want to).

Yes ok got it, can I say like this.

She reached her home and fell asleep immediately after changing her clothes. While asleep she had a dream in which her boss appeared to her and gave her an assignment.

Yes.

. . . changing her clothes . . . I think you mean 'changing into her night-clothes'.

Say 'changed into her night-clothes'. Just 'clothes' does not suggest that.
