Average Jane Talks in Her Sleep

Joy suggested that my brief answer to one of the questions in yesterday’s list would make a good post all by itself.  Because I’ll take any blog topic suggestion I can get, I’m going to run with her idea.

I’ve heard reports that I talk in my sleep ever since I was a child.  My mother once told me that as she walked by my bedroom, she heard me exclaim, "It’s the only kind they make!"

We’ll never know what manufacturer my subconscious found so exciting.

My husband told me that he walked into the bedroom one night to find me asleep with the cat perched on my chest.  When he sat down on the bed, he says I indicated the cat and demanded to know, "What is this?!?"

Apparently I was placated when he explained that it was only our cat.

I tend to crash pretty hard when I first go to sleep, so any interruption can trigger a response from me that I’m not really aware of.  Sometimes in the morning, my husband will complain that I said something mean and grouchy to him when he got into bed the night before.  I usually have no idea what he’s talking about (really!).

Have you ever talked in your sleep that you know of?  If someone’s told you that you have, what did you say?

    Hi Jane,
    I’ve never talked in my sleep that I know of. None of my kids have ever said I have; and believe me, they would NEVER pass up the opportunity to rib Mom about somethng like that. However….my husband talked in his sleep, and sometimes walked in his sleep. What’s even odder, at times he would take on the personna of John Wayne. How scary is that? Enough said. -Joy

    My ex would not only talk in his sleep, he would occationally bust out laughing (which is kinda creepy in the middle of the night!)

    Daughter’s mother would talk to me in my sleep and ask questions which I answered. She was going through the house looking for money I had hidden in a book. Lucky for me I had taken the cash out a while back.

    I’m told that I laugh in my sleep. It IS really creepy for my bedmate, but at least I know I was having a fun dream.
