Talk to an experienced builder/framer. They will know what can & can't be
done. However, if your zoning requirements call for a structural engineer
then that may not count...
And one can certainly have a 'real' dormer with truss construction. A truss
company will be able to engineer what you want (or tell you to lay off the
wacky tobacco).
And, whatever you do, do not browse this website: www.garagejournal.com
Specifically the forum section. (you've been warned...)
My garage expansion project has started. Some photos here:

Second story ("bonus room") floor trusses spanning 22' then roof trusses & 3
'real' dormers.
