Sleep talking
8 Answers
My husband and I had a conversation in the middle of the night. I woke him up by shaking him and talking very rationally about something not so rational! He asked me in the morning why I had done so. I had absolutely no recollection of this! I have now been told (by him!) that I talk quite a lot in my sleep, sometimes making no sense and sometimes full conversations. Does anyone else do this?

It's quite a vivid experience and can be quite annoying when you are awakened in the middle of it by your wife. The nearest I can get to describing it would be like feeling you are fully awake when you are sleeping. Sometimes I sit up in bed and have a conversation while apparrently fast asleep.
I've always talked, shouted, sworn, laughed, cried and sung in my sleep. When I was living 'at home' my Mum and Dad would tell me the next morning, about the shouting and swearing they had heard. People have also had full on conversations with me, but it's rare for me to remember the dream or the conversation the next day.
I must admit to not remebering a thing about it the next day. We are going to Tenerife on holiday and I was asking him if he thought that the kids would like Canarian Potatoes or would they be too salty !!!! I think I always tell the truth in my dreams, thankfully I don't do anything too controversial in my daily life!
I remember waking up in the middle of the night in my school dormitory to see the boy in the bed next to me sitting up and talking gibberish, then being amazed when someone in the bed across the dorm answered him in exactly the same sleep-talk gibberish. The conversation went on some minutes. We also had this guy who used to say, "I'm NOT snoring!". He was the loudest snorer I have ever heard.
