Sleep Talking

bragan

So, I have been told a number of times that I talk in my sleep, and sometimes I wonder if this is going to get me into trouble some day!

What are people's opinions on sleep talking?
Is it merely us responding out loud in our dreams, is it our subconscious taking over, or is it something else entirely???

Terry

I do that too.
Apparently I also snore really loudly.
I'd love to get a recording of what I'm saying.

You shouldn't really get in trouble for what you dream. You can't really control it.

Could be anything tbh. I had a g/friend once who woke me upo while grinding her teeth and saying it "needs more salt". turns out she was dreaming about making a stew

I walk and talk in my sleep and have done forever. When I get stressed about something the walking and talking gets worse and there was one time ( I think it was the year I was doing my Leaving) that I left the house in my pjs, had school bag over my shoulder, shoes on and was at the end of the driveway when my mum had to bring me back to the house. I've had showers, washed and dried my hair and all other kinds of crazy stuff all while asleep:o

Not sure I ever talked, but I screamed and woke up my flatmate once.:eek:

When I was with my ex I used to talk all the time & often laugh in my sleep too... I don't think I do since we split up.. maybe I don't feel the need to be a conversationalist at night now that I'm on my own.
Come to think of it, I used to have awful nightmares when he was around too, Used to wake up terrified, often yelping for help.. that's all stopped too........hmmmm... It says it all!!!

Both me and the girlfriend do this.

I've said a few womens names in my sleep according to her, although I dont know anyone by the names at all ? She just found it amusing.

Herself woke me up one night, she just roars out my name, leapt up out of the bed thought there was a f*cking fire or something. Looked back down and she was still asleep. The next morning she told me she'd dreamt she'd had an arguement with her brother, myself and her brother have the same name.

I tend to do it if I'm dozing off then wake up abruptly, like I might be mid sentence in a dream then wake up and say the next word.

I've notice it happen more frequently when I've something on my mind.

Car Mad

Overheal

I've screamed waking up before...all I remember it was one of those really frustrating argument-ish nightmares..

Another time (which I blame on a drunken blackout, but was obviously sleep related) I walked right out of my apartment without clothes or keys. that was a long morning.

We actually have a sleeping&Dreaming forum under Rec. You might find more comprehensive answers there.

My brother sleep-talks. His best moment was shouting "Maguire ye knacker".

"Now we will share what really happened...," Blue whispers.

*CLICK* Replays NSA (No Such Agency) digital tape recorder, courtesy of Bush's Department of Homeland Insecurity, charged with investigating all Irish mods to see if they are dreaming and talking in their sleep about the missing Iraq WMDs (Bush cannot seem to find them anywhere).

"Ohhhhh yes! Ohhhhh yes!" c-13 cries out in his sleep.

"Huh, dear?" g/f on pillow beside him mumbles. Rolls over and faces c-13.

"Heh heh heeeeeeh Backtoblack! That tickles!" c-13 laughs with eyes rolling under lids.

"Who?" now awake, with shocked face, g/f leans over to listen closely.

"Whoooooo yooooouuuu... Lust4Life?" c-13 laughs. "Hey! There's room for all three of us!"

WACK! WACK! WACK! g/f hits c-13 using the novel she had fallen asleep with earlier.

"Huh? Huh? Why did you hit me?" c-13 complains, now awake, rubbing his head where it hurt.

"You were saying names in your sleep!" she pouts with arms crossed. "I think they were girl's nicknames!"

"Oh come on dear, what names?" c-13 continues to rub his head.

"Something about Lusty and getting Back to Black," she puffs.

"Gosh!" c-13 proclaims. "It was just a dream! Not real!" Takes a deep breath and nods his head. "I don't even know the names of these girls that I mod on boards."

She hands c-13 a blanket and tosses a pillow at him. "You can sleep on the couch!"

*CLICK* (End of recording)

"Now boardies," Blue whispers. "You have heard the real story without the mod spin. But it's Top Secret, and if you tell anyone where you got it, I will have to.... !" :cool:

Have you ever dreamed of drowining someone by holding their head underwater, and then having sore arms in the morning?

...I may need help.

Any drowning incidents in the news of late seem a little too familiar for comfort to you?
Find any fish flapping about in your room in the mornings?

Talk in my sleep often. I don't feel very secure right now in my new house even though it is in a quiet neighbourhood. I've been told I'm always asking if the doors are locked, alarm set, etc.

Did you ever dream that you’re on O’Connell Street dying to relive yourself and when you do there is nothing to wipe yourself with and everyone is watching…. What do you think that means maybe?

I normally feel like that about the boss. Wouldn't worry about it

I'm terrible for talking in my sleep too. My boyfriend is just as bad. I think we talk to each other in our sleep.

We have regular conversations where we ring each other up in work and tell each other what we said the night before. They really are hilarious.

The worst thing he ever did was keep saying "tiny tiny baby" in a really cute voice over and over again. i still slag him about it!

I love sleep talking. it makes life more interesting!

Threw a mattress out the bedroom door years ago. What amazed me was my friend who was in the other bed a foot away (was in a caravan in Kilkee) didn't wake up.

On a holiday in Turkey a few years back my mother woke me up as I was sleepwalking down the steps outside the apartment in the middle of the night. Luckily she heard me going out the door 'cause who knows where I'd have ended up.

Haven't done anything like that recently that I can remember thankfully

I rarely sleep talk. However, I did on Saturday and I'd prefer not to know what I said tbh.

KamiKazi

i was tried to go fishing in nothing but my boxers and runners on night

luckily my mother found me before i got out of the house
