I have recently been having feelings of dread when going to sleep, is this normal?

Heightened fear/dread is quite common in the menopause and often caused by falling hormones and also a stressed nervous system.

I would suggest trying a female multivit with extra magnesium and a stress remedy such as AvenaCalm. Acupuncture can often be really good for this so worth looking into.

However, if you feel that the symptoms are getting worse it is important to go and see your doctor about it.
