I read your question carefully. I am a little unclear because in the headline you say sexual dreams, but the way you describe it later sounds real, not sure whether you believe your mother or think it is a dream.

If you believe it then she should by all means see a doctor, in order to be tested for a sexually transmitted disease. Depending on her age if she still has her menstrual cycle a pregnancy test is needed as well. Also a psychologist or psychiatrist evaluation would be necessary to help her cope.

If it was a dream then only the psychiatric evaluation is necessary.

I hope to have been of help.
