So my SO has a habit of waking up and mumbling something completely out there before falling back asleep. The last few times have been something about tigers, and then something with alarm clocks and their intrinsic evil natures this morning. But then, the one that has really haunted me has been the following conversation:
SO: (Upon waking) Ostriches only have one of them. Me: Ostriches? SO: Yes. Me: They have only one of what? (SO then proceeds to fall asleep) Me: Only one of what?! I've been guessing at this for several weeks now. Thought it would be interesting to see what everyone here thought. Opinions? |

My brother used to do the craziest stuff in his sleep, including: Wake up, shower, eat, try to do his homework(ended up as gibberish), fight storm troopers in the hallway, and on one occasion... drive. How did the driving end up? Surprisingly well. It amazes me that people can wake up that much, without waking up. ETA the best was fighting storm troopers, he was (trying to) roll around, and fighting with a light-saber(including making the noises). |
Mine talks in her sleep. Zero memory of it upon waking up. Sometimes I have whole conversations with her, assuming she is awake. Or she will wake me up in the middle of the night and ask me completely random  questions.
Couple of nights ago she asked me if the dog was on fire. At first I was .
Then, as I lay there trying to get back to sleep I was 
Walked out, checked on dag in his kennel in the living room. Not on fire. 
As I got back in to bed, I was like....why the fuck did I just get up to see if the dog was on fire?

You would have felt real bad in the morning if you didn't check and he was on fire...
Apparently I sleep talk sometimes, but it's never coherent. |

Most he's done when I'm around is lightly pop me in the jaw. Or the nose. |

 I know, just sounds like something that would happen on a weird night around here.

Its been a while since someone posted something that made me laugh. Thanks. My ex told me once that in the middle of the night I abruptly yelled out "If the Cowboys cant cover the spread, FUCK THEM!". I dont watch or bet on football.

One time I was hanging out at a female friend's house. We were watching TV and she fell asleep. Jeopardy came on and she started answering all of the questions in the first round. Somebody hit the buzzer and she said the answer. The contestant said nothing, so she repeated it.. more silence, then the beep. She yelled "I SAID <whatever the answer was>" and woke herself up. I laughed my ass off.
I don't talk in my sleep, but I do sleep-fuck. That's going to get me into trouble one of these days

That may be the single greatest post I have ever seen! |

Be surprised the truth you can get. Some people who sleep-talk are very honest when asked questions. I've seen it many times over 10 years of performing sleep-diagnostic testing. Most cases are just mumbling or random gibberish. Best case I've seen yet was a sweet old lady whose whole personality and voice changed when she fell asleep. She began sleep-talking clearly like a spoiled little brat, complete with whiny voice. |

I do it all the time.
Once, my ex asked me the next morning "who the fuk is Melissa?" I said "WTF are you talking about!?" She then proceeds to tell me that I was moaning her name in my sleep and making humping movement with wood.
All I could tell her in response was "Well, she was awesome in bed" 
For some reason after that, the ex got really REALLY freaky in the sack.

not much for sleep talking.
about a year ago I dreamed about wolves or something I was howling in my dream turns out I was for real howling woke up mid-howl and for whatever reason my though process was... "better finish it" so I did was a really badass howl apparently scared the mess out of my wife
even the dogs gave me props on it ever since I try to think above howling just so I can wake my wife up again. hasnt worked not once since scared her pretty good.

The girl I was dating and living with right after highschool was terrible with sleep-talking and even sitting up with her eyes open, but she was still asleep. It was creepy.
One night, she sprung up, pointed behind me (I was laying facing towards her) and yelled "What is that?!?"........so I freaked the fuck out and yelled back "WHAT THE FUCK IS IT?!?!?" without rolling over to see, because I was too scared to look. True story. |

Wife woke me up mid dream one time. I only remember the feeling the dream left, not many details. All I know was when I woke up with her shaking me I was freaked. She said I was mumbling, then moaning, then screaming and my right index finger kept pinching her off and on during this.
She talks in her sleep sometimes though. Asked me for french toast. I had to get up anyhow so I made it along with my breakfast. I brought it in to her and she then informed me she never asked for it and she hates french toast

I sleep talk and sleep walk. I have rearranged furniture, cooked full meals, had to be rescued from the closet on many occasions, carry on full conversations, and I have attacked hubby on a few occasions. I guess the only good thing is I cannot open a closed door. The first 2 years we were married he put the bed against the wall and something at the foot of the bed so he would know if I got up. Still did not stop the stupid shit.

Yeah, I've had entire conversations with my wife when she does that. She doesn't do it as often as she used to, but it still happens. Here's some things I have learned:
-You're never going to get the full story behind the really bizarre statements. For instance, your ostrich questions "only one of what?" There is no answer for you in this life. Be at peace with this. -Our oldest daughter is working at the drive through down at the little Stop-N-Rob. Even if she *is* only 6 years old (at the time) it's okay because she got a note from the school and my wife. -Some things won't come with any explanation or really words at all. Funny things just need to be laughed at with much gusto. Even if it is 1:45am and I have to be at work by five. -Similarly, some things that you did not do in any way shape or form have her very angry with you and it will be discussed. Right. Fucking. Now. Until she wakes up and gets mad at me for talking to her about it because she wanted to talk about it...or something. I don't know. See item one. -Never, ever under any circumstances allow your discipline to drop to the point that you actually answer any of the inane questions and/or accusations until you are fully awake and alert to traps yourself. That will be the time that she remembers the weird question prompted by the bizarre dream, wherein she was having a strange argument with some girl you both vaguely know about the color of the flavor that the note b sharp creates in ones fingers and DID YOU PAY SUZY ROTTENCROTCH $100 TO SLEEP WITH YOU YOU ASSHOLE? See, you will be tempted by this point to have trained yourself to appease the weirdnosity by simply agreeing to the questions automatically so yoiu don't have to wake up and actually try to make sense out of anything. This is a serious mistake. Do not do this. |

My wife does the same thing. Eventually I just started talking back until she would semi wake up and yell at me for egging it on.
Curious......you guys that have wives that do this, are they on any Rx? There must be some common link. Mine did take birth control but not anymore. She takes two other Rx.....a nasal inhaler and a pill....both for allergies. Something has got to cause this. Then again, woman are crazy. |

Meds have nothing to do with it in my case. |
