and whats the next thing the pattern has in store for him? about a month later what does our dear hero use for a pillow? a portal stone, the need to channel huge amounts of the power in order for him to get ahead of the horn etc 
Rand could not channel a large amount of saidin in his sleep, no more than anyone else can. We don't even know for sure that a channeller can embrace the source while sleeping, of if he/she must do so before going to sleep if she/he wants to channel Spirit while asleep. Touching a Stone (the steps actually, Rand was touching the steps) isn't enough to use the PS either, you need to channel into one of the symbols.
Clearly, that's not Rand who activated the Stone. Lanfear did.
