Yorkie HELP!!?

The hair lightening is normal. Snoring and dreams are also completely normal. If she's eating a lot without gaining weight I would bring her in to the vet. She could have parasites, a pancreatic insufficiency, or one of many other problems preventing her from getting the most out of her food.

Have her checked for worms if she is eating and still thin. As far as the colors they do tend to lighten up as they get rid of their puppy coat. But definatly have her checked for worms and keep her coat oiled so that it doesn't break off especially if she has worms this wil dry her coat out. Biosilk works great and you can get it from your hairdresser.
