Juan está dormiendo. Juan está dormido. What are the differences between them? Don´t they mean the same?

Good question. They almost mean the same thing, however. By the way it would be durmiendo, not dormiendo.

Juan está durmiendo-Juan is sleeping

Juan está dormido-Juan is asleep.

Hope that clears it up for you a bit.
