This is normal in most people. The body turns off the salivary glands while sleeping, thus resulting in a dry mouth. Also, some people breath through their mouths while sleeping. The moving air further dries the mouth.

If a victim is having a grand mal seizure do you place a blunt object in their mouth?

No. A person who is having a seizure might not have control of his mouth, throat or swallowing functions and might swallow it. There is also the danger of them biting on the object and doing damage to themselves, like breaking teeth or swallowing a broken part of the item. Despite the common misconception, a person cannot swallow their tongue. The tongue can roll back a bit, but this is a natural occurrence and poses no threat to breathing. So putting something into their mouth is not going to achieve anything.
