My sweet, beautiful, loving wife is an Irish immigrant. She's only been here in the US for 6 years and still has moments of culture shock. Mainly with how rude people can be in public. A woman approached us at the grocery store as we were discussing dinner, and told her the classic "you need to speak english". Yes, my wife can be difficult to understand, and it can sound like she's speaking some sort of dark orcish language. So my wife removes the bottle of drain cleaner from our cart and told this woman to go drink it, and suggested mixing it with diet coke to make it go down. Security was called, I was a mix of mortified, and proud, and my wife made a comment about "years of bloody war and terrorism, and she thought I'd just roll over like some helpless b***h". Ps, security did not remove anybody from the store, but the other woman was told in no uncertain terms that she was not allowed to harass other customers if she would like to be allowed to shop there in the future. My wife saw me typing this, and said "you tell em' I'll do it again".

I don't understand the brass/hubris of the woman insisting that people "speak english". No, Blanche, it's not your business what we're talking about. If your life is so incredibly small that you need to eavesdrop on the conversation of other people perhaps you need to find a hobby. FWIW, I love the wife's response, totally priceless!

My ex husband had returned from a deployment and it was a pretty rough one. He was there for Fallujah and yeah, just tough on him. He was having a hard time sleeping and was prescribed a couple of doses of Ambien to get back on the US clock. I was sleeping but woke up when I heard a metal shink clink and saw that he was sitting on the edge of the bed. I asked if he was ok and he turned his head to me slowly and said something inchoherent then put his finger to his lip in a shush and slowly turned his head back to face the door. I got up and he was sitting there on the edge of the bed, buck a*s naked except for his socks and boots (laced up) holding his locked and loaded AK-47 (that was the sound I heard). He’d somehow gotten up, found his gun safe keys, went to the basement, pulled out his AK, pulled his ammo out of the separate ammo box, loaded a magazine, put on his boots, and come back to bed. I was instantly as awake as a human can be, like this s**t could go real f*****g bad real f*****g fast. I told him it was my turn for guard duty and to get some sleep. He just kind of grunted and fell sideways into bed, rolled over, and started snoring. I earned my ninja badge that night getting the gun away from him. I didn’t sleep a wink because I couldn’t find the gun safe keys so I just kept vigil in bed and read a book, soothing him when he started stirring. He remembered none of it. I locked his gun safe keys away from him for a very long time after that night and he didn’t take Ambien again. That s**t really f***s with people.

Ambien killed my friends mom. At 03:00 she got out of bed, grabbed her keys and got in her car. Less than 2 miles from her house she got in an accident. She was wearing her pajamas and no shoes. Emergency responders asked her why she was out, where was she going? Her response was she was going to see her son. She was 82, lived in Florida and he lived in North Carolina. She had not packed a bag or informed him of a visit. She didn't live to see the sun rise. Ambien killed my friends mom and is a dangerous medication
Kristal 1 year ago (edited)
In the past I took ambien every night for 5 consecutive years. I actually had withdrawals getting off of it. And yes, it does a lot to people. For me, it messed with my rational judgement (which I do use a lot normally).

It's only supposed to be used short term, so using it for 5 years wasn't the best rational judgement

I hope he has help from the VA. This will go on for sometime. Awesome way to give up the weapon.
Griffy 1 year ago (edited)
I'm fairly sure the VA doesn't give a carp depending on where he lives. I'm fairly sure the VA in east central Alabama killed my boyfriend. He knew something was wrong, they refused to do a colonoscopy and accused him of pill hunting (he was white and poor). Turned out he had colorectal cancer, which metastasized to his lungs. When he had the cancerous lung lobes removed the cancer spread everywhere and killed him. The only reason he got treatment was because his ex-wife and I kept pressuring him to go to a civilian doctor, which he finally did.

They were kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share why they posed this question.
"Couples know each other intimately. Nobody knows a person quite as well as their significant other," NKVDKGBFBI noted. "The post played off of that reality and the fact that almost everyone loves reading about creepy subjects. It was a relatable and interesting topic, which is why the post succeeded."

HAHA, this reminds me of a cough medicine that I was prescribed once. I had a respiratory virus that just wouldn't go away, and was coughing constantly for 2 months. I took the medicine and thought an hour later, "well this didn't work". Then I blacked out. 14 hours later my girlfriend shook me saying "what is wrong with you". I had evidently spent the last 90 minutes staring and whispering to my hands. I looked at her and said "I can feel the blood moving in my fingers". That's the last thing I remember from that day. Best medicine ever. I was coughing the whole time, but I have no memory of the coughing. I don't know what the name would be in english though

My grandma proceeded to go to the fridge, get a whole jar of pickled fish, open it, and eat the whole thing while smearing it all over the whole damn kitchen. Me and my brother caught her and told her to wash her hads at least. She refused angrily and went back to sleep. Next morning she was sick and threwing up, and did not remember anything.

My pale a*s Russian wife sleeps like a vampire. Arms crossed and all that.
She also had a weird up bringing and believes in premonitions. Twice she hasn't me to go somewhere because she had a bad dream. Twice, I got into a wreck that same day. Then, one time, she told me she dreamed she would find a black cat outside and that she would be pregnant. A week f*****g later I heard meowing coming from outside. I'm like hey go feed your stray (she would feed the apartment strays and talk to them. Real Disney princess s**t.) She comes back with this black kitten and was like I told you so. We had never seen this stray before. And then a week later she peed on a stick and it was positive.
Normally, I don't put stock in these things, but she is 3 for 3.

My mom would do this, the premonitions, but not detailed. Like when I was in high school and the thing was to go up town on a Friday night. Small town and all. One time she said, "I don't think you should go, got a bad feeling." And I wasn't allowed to go. I. Was. Pissed. But that night, my buddies with whom I was going to be going with, they got drunk and got arrested. I would've been too. Stuff like that happened several times and I learned that when she said she had a bad feeling about something, I listened.

Mine does the same thing but she listens to videos while going to sleep. After a week of some pretty scary, muted giggling at night, she finally told me that she's just hearing them say something funny. I think she's probably only half awake but it's creeeeeeepy to hear that out of the dark.

We were also curious about whether or not the OP was married. They shared that they've had "many creepy experiences" with their wife, one of which they detailed in a comment on their post.
"I woke up one night to a knocking sound, and when I rolled over to wake my girlfriend (who I'm now married to). I found she was not in bed. The lights outside the room were off, and I laid there for a moment, listening to the sound before it stopped. I called her name, but received no answer. The entire house was dark, and we lived in the boons, out in the middle of nowhere in Oregon," the author shared.

He out stalked my stalker. On one hand it was great that he was able to get the stalker to back off because the police refused to do anything but say "*we* feel your life isn't at risk." but it was also definitely the creepiest thing my husband ever did.

"When I finally got the balls to wake up and investigate the sound and her whereabouts, I found nothing - until I reached the kitchen," the OP continued. "As I was walking around, calling her name, I heard knocking again and found it coming from the closed pantry door. I called her name. Nothing. I stared at the door for what felt like minutes before I opened it and found her in there walking over and over again into the wall on the far side of the larder. She was completely naked, and this was the first instance of her experiencing somnambulism, which has, to this day, occurred quite frequently and seems to become stranger and stranger over time."

He thought of the most innocent word he could, and then started to creepily whisper it to me. This has been going on for years…now he has trained our children to do it.
Think of someone randomly leaning over your shoulder and whispering ‘bagel’ in your ear like Hannibal Lector. It only happens occasionally so I’ll have my guard up for a few weeks after it happens, then I kind of forget about it…until he does it again. My toddler can never remember the right word so he just whispers random words in my ear occasionally and it cracks me up.

My husband was once also sleepwalking and when I asked him if he was awake (because he acted weird), he assured me that yes he was. It was not creepy but so damn confusing. I was pretty sure he was NOT awake but he kept insisting and of course he had no memory of it in the morning.

Similar thing happened with my husband. He sat bolt upright in bed, mumbling gibberish, and I asked him if he was okay. This at least broke him out of the dream. I asked him if he was awake. He got super huffy and grumpily told he was. I asked it he was sure, and he responded, “Yes, I’m sure! I know when I’m awake!” I was like 😏 mmhmm, okay, suuure you are. Guess who had no memory of it the next morning. 🤣I still kid him about it because he was SO insistent that he was awake and had such an attitude about it (which is very not him) and the next morning when I told him about it was just like, “oh yeah I was definitely not awake.”

Sleep paralysis actually involves temporary paralysis - it's called atonia - and you literally cannot move. Absolutely this person could be asking for help while sleep walking but that's very different from atonia.

Not my wife. The girl I dated before my wife. She had night terrors. Like sitting up in bed and screaming at her sister at the end of her bed. Of course there was no one there.
The one that really sticks out though was the Philly incident. Earlier in the day some sketchy dudes began following us near the tourist area. We turn, they turn. Etc. it got to the point that I said if any of them try to get our attention just run. We looked back on that as being the seed that started what happened that night.
We had a pretty normal nighttime routine for a hotel. Normally at hotels I leave the bathroom light on and the door slightly ajar as a nightlight. This time I didn’t.
In the pitch black of the night I am awakened to her screaming “there’s someone in the room! Holy s**t! Help help help!”
Next thing you know I have hands around my neck beginning to choke me. Now I’m screaming in terror. I manage to pry one hand loose and I just start biting it. “Owww!! They’re biting me!! Help ahhhh.”
I realized exactly what was happening. I think by then I was also up out of bed and I found the light switch. We calmed down.
What we always thought was odd was that no one checked on us. This was two adults screaming in an airport hotel in the middle of the night like they were being murdered and no one checked on us.

"airport hotel" Some of these are incredibly well insulated BECAUSE they are airport hotels. I stayed at one in Incheon Korea in February. I could look out the windows and see jets taxiing close. I never heard a single jet. Frankly I was impressed. I also didn't hear any guests in the other rooms.

I work at a hotel and people scream far more often than you would think. Anything from arguing that gets ridiculous, to being drunk and screaming for entertainment, to a hookup the whole world apparently needs to hear, parents to kids, kids to parents and on and on. I've been there 5 years and never once has it been anything serious. Add that to it being the middle of the night with one person on staff- pretty much we are supposed to stand at the door and not bother them unless it goes on for a few minutes, at which point we knock and tell them to quiet down. Getting involved in ANY WAY always backfires, I should know. Calling the rooms never works, they just ignore it or yell about how it's the other persons fault, etc. we aren't allowed to enter w out cops and they never get there before the yelling stops. Every time so far it's over in a few minutes and nothing comes of it. It's a very strange aspect of my job. People are super weird and do really weird stuff all the time, lol.

I had many, many years of night terrors almost continually - they are only occasional now. They are correctly named. The worst thing you've ever seen in a horror film or heard of, but your mind will think of something much worse and torture you with it. I used to scream myself awake..
We also asked the author if they believe it's inevitable for spouses to catch some creepy behavior every now and then. "Everyone has a creepy side. If you're with someone long enough, you're eventually going to witness them in a weird act," they told Bored Panda. "Which can sometimes just be an awkward moment or gesture. Statistically, time plus observation of a human equals witnessing creepy behavior."

So, picture this: it's a dark and stormy night (no, seriously, it was!), and I'm home alone because my wife, Rachel, was working late. Our house is one of those old Victorian types with creaky floors and spooky vibes, especially when the wind howls and the rain lashes against the windows. You get the picture. I'm sitting in the living room, binge-watching a true crime documentary, which in hindsight, was a terrible idea. The documentary was about this serial killer who broke into people's houses. Just as the detective in the show goes, "The intruder was never caught," I hear a noise from the kitchen. My heart nearly leaps out of my chest. I pause the show, straining to hear. Nothing. I brush it off as the wind and hit play. Then, a loud crash. I'm not talking about a small thud; it was like someone dropped a whole cabinet of pots and pans. I jump up, grab the nearest weapon-like object (which, hilariously, was a baguette), and tiptoe towards the kitchen. As I creep closer, the sounds get louder – rustling, shuffling, and then... humming? My mind is racing: Is this it? Am I going to be the subject of the next true crime episode? I burst into the kitchen, baguette raised, and flick on the lights. There, standing in the middle of the room, is my wife Rachel, completely oblivious to my terror. She's wearing her headphones, belting out Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" at the top of her lungs while organizing the Tupperware cabinet. Now, here's where it gets really creepy (or hilarious, depending on your perspective). She didn't see or hear me come in, and she's really into the song. So, in my panic-fueled brain, I decide the best course of action is to... sing along. Yes, with the baguette as my microphone. I start belting out the chorus, matching her volume. Rachel, thinking she's still alone, almost jumps out of her skin when she realizes she's got an unexpected duet partner. She whips around, yanks off her headphones, and we have this brief, heart-stopping moment of eye contact. Then she bursts out laughing. Turns out, she'd come home early, saw I was engrossed in my show, and decided to let me be while she tackled the chaos that was our Tupperware situation. She'd had no idea she was about to give me a mini heart attack. To this day, every time I hear Whitney Houston, I have flashbacks to that night, my 'weapon' of choice, and the impromptu karaoke session. Rachel still teases me about how I tried to "fight off" a potential intruder with a loaf of bread. And me? Well, I make sure to always check if she's home before starting any true crime marathons.

this story seems "sus" / fictional or at least weird. My vote is for BS. 1. Wife doesn't think he is home, even though no mention of why she wouldn't expect that. 2. He has a baguette in the living room but apparently not anything hard. 3. He could hear tupperware moving around but he couldn't hear his wife " belting out Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" ". 4. Inconsistentcy - she is first described as 'humming', then as 'belting out'. 5. "I burst into the kitchen, baguette raised, and flick on the lights." So... what then? Your wife is sorting the tupperware cabinet in the dark until you flick on the lights? 7. Somehow the lights suddenly coming on didn't get her attention, but him starting to sing did. This reads like someone wrote creative fiction and then forgot to proofread it for consistency.

When "Helter Skelter" was released in paperback I was engrossed to the point of not noticing that it was very late in the night and I was the only person up. Just into the part of the LoBianco killings the screen in the front window fell with a bang that would give a person a coronary if they weren't reading that damned book. I was convinced that those crazies got loose and were trying to get in the house. I ran for bed turning on every light on the way. I haven't read anything scarier than Charlotte's Web in the nighttime since. 😂

One night,I was drifting off to sleep when my husband suddenly shot up in bed, swiping at his arms. I asked him what was wrong. He said the spiders were on his arms. What spiders, you may ask? The spiders that dream me apparently threw a box of at him. He also told me that it was very rude to throw boxes of spiders at people. He also told me that I wasn't allowed to sell our daughter. Which was very nice but I wasn't going to sell her. Again that would also be very rude.

It's very early morning and we're both sleeping in bed. My eyes are closed and my back is to him. I hear: "Are you going to get up?" I answer (half asleep) "Not yet." My husband says: "You heard that, too?" My blood went cold. Chills everywhere. He thought I said it, I thought he said it. Neither of us said it. Both of us had forgotten to set our alarms and would have been late for work. The voice woke us around our normal alarm time. We learned later that the previous owner had poltergeist-like activity years ago. We're big fans of the ghost now but in the moment, it was incredibly creepy.

As far as what they thought of the replies to their post, the author says, "I found it fascinating that a significant amount of the people on the post talked about their experiences with a partner's somnambulism. It's a seemingly rare, but very creepy problem, and it has obviously affected a tremendous amount of the people who usually have to see a therapist to openly discuss the issue."

My wife was sleeping in the passenger seat on a late night drive home from visiting her family. Our very young kids are in the back seats out cold too.
She suddenly snaps up and grabs the wheel screaming something about how I, the totally awake and driving just fine driver, am about to drive us off a cliff. She was full strength trying to turn the wheel to the right, which would have been bad.
I started yelling "No NO NO!!" Quickly realizing that wasn't stopping her I had to full on NBA rebound the wheel with my elbows way out, and shove her very hard back into her seat. I managed to get a hold of her upper arm and used it to shove her into the door when she apparently still hadn't realized the reality of the situation and made another grab for the wheel.
There was a lot of cursing and screaming. It was not pretty.
Once she figured out what she had done, she lost it and started gasp-crying worse than I've ever seen.
The rest of the drive home was pretty rough.

This sounds like a person coming out of a night terror. I've suffered night terrors many times over the years. It kind of surfs a weird place between dreaming and being awake. I've literally come out of a dream fighting. If it happens often, consider a sleep clinic to diagnose sleep problems.

I have an ex that would do that. We drove big rigs as a team back then. He'd come flying out of the bunk yelling that the cars in front of us were braking and I was going to crash into them. Of course, there would be no one, just our truck and an otherwise empty highway. It was all I could do not to crash from being so startled. He also used to wake up yelling "OH NO, I DID IT, GIVE ME THE SPRAY!" Apparently he passed gas in his dream and woke me up to give him the air freshener. You would have thought he set the bedroom on fire the way he was panicking. I do NOT miss him.

My husband and I were asleep when I’m awoken to my husband sitting up with his finger to his lip going “shhhh” 🤫. So naturally I said “Why are you saying shhh?” And he deadass pointed to the dark corner of the room and said “because that man over there wants you to be quiet.” It still gives me the chills.

Sometimes it's too easy; mere cruelty isn't fun. One time my wife and I were staying with my folks. In the morning I found an old Hallowe'en mask from when I was a child... of a wookiee, not a slasher or a monster. Not realistic, either. One of those cheap masks that's just a disk of painted plastic with eyeholes and a nosehole. She loves ewoks, wookiees, etc. Thought it'd be funny to get back in bed wearing the mask. She woke up screaming bloody blue murder. Couldn't stop. Very not cute, very not funny.

Every 6 months or so, my husband will be dead asleep and will bolt upright, point to the corner of the room, yell "WHAT THE F**K IS THAT" and promptly lays back down and starts snoring. Meanwhile, I'm sitting there trying to figure out what just happened. He said it's always the same figure: Slenderman style dude with red eyes and a top hat. I call it his own personal Babadook.

Not married, but my ex was a marine with some pretty gnarly ptsd. One of the first few nights I spent at his place, I woke up to him yelling at me to get down, covering my body with his, and start yelling military-like orders. I had not known his ptsd was that bad up until that point and it scared the absolute f**k out of me.

My husband is a hugger. One night he was asleep very soundly, and rolled over to hug me. And he held me and squeezed me so tight that I could hardly breathe, it was a deathgrip. He wouldn't wake up, didn't let go, and I wasn't strong enough to break free. I had to bite him, which still didn't wake him up, just made him let go. And then I had to explain the bite mark the next day (didn't draw blood, but was tender and a bruise). He was mortified.

Back when my husband and I were dating, there were nights when he (asleep) kinda sensed that I was about to get up (to go to the bathroom) and pulled me back close to him. Not in a deathgrip style, but human arms can still be quite heavy. It was very cute but also sliiiightly inconvenient if you have a full bladder...

I was in a five year relationship. Every week we would buy like 18 eggs. But she was vegan and I wasn’t eating those eggs. So this goes on month after month. I start getting mad that she is clearly throwing them away. What a waste. Like even if you’re vegan you’re just leading me to buy more eggs which supports the industry even more. I start seeing the kitchen is a mess when I wake up. I go to bed after her, I get up before her. What the hell. Then one day I hit my head on a wall in the middle of the night. It woke me up. I had a plate of maybe 8 eggs and a messy kitchen. I had been sleep walking and cooking. Never happened after that.

Have him checked for sleep apnea. I apparently had sleep apnea for a long time, and when I finally had it diagnosed, it had become so severe that I was getting almost no sleep at all. Get checked. I've been on a CPAP machine for about a week and a half now, and although it may need some adjustment, I already feel 10 years younger and have twice as much energy.

CPAP user here - Sounds like you are new to the game. Know that which mask and the settings can make a huge difference in comfort. I've been on one for about 7 years now. At first they set me to a steady 15 and I felt like I had trouble exhaling. My mental comparison was a dog sticking their face out the car window on the freeway. Complained and they set it to auto change between 10-15. SOOO much better. It usually runs about 11 or 12, sometimes 10.5. And if you find yourself with sore or watering eyes during the day - you might have a mask that is leaking / blowing air around your eyes as you move in your sleep. A change in masks really improved that for me. Best wishes.

Yep, my dad and 2 of my brothers all sleepwalk. When I was growing up my dad would regularly wander around the house all night, making random noises and mumbling under his breath and wake up in random places. Bro no 1 would regularly try to cook in the middle of the night, (like full roast dinners or fry ups) he almost burnt the house down a few times before my parents had to put a lock on the kitchen door. (he's now a chef!) My youngest bro was the creepiest, he would wander silently around the house and stand completely still and silent in random places. Nothing creepier than waking up to an adorable little blonde boy standing silently in the corner just staring at you from the dark like something from a horror movie. Oh, and my youngest sister always slept with her eyes wide open, it freaked the rest of us out so much that we refused to share a room with her, my parents eventually put the youngest (and creepiest) 2 kids in the same room.

My husband and I met online and married after only six months. It was a whirlwind but it was the right choice—10 years in and it’s still great. However! One night a month or two after we married, I woke up in the night to him death gripping my skull. Not sure if he was sleeping, I panicked, thinking I’d married an abuser. I talked to him, nothing. I finally eased his hand off of me and breathed a sigh of relief. Another few seconds went by and his hand whipped out and grabbed my skull again. Then I really panicked. Eventually he let go and I lay there in the dark trying not to think of what I’d gotten myself into and being grateful he grabbed me where he did, and not an inch or two further down where his fingers would have gone into my eyes. Come morning, he had absolutely no memory of this whatsoever. He has never done it again. He has never been even remotely harsh with me, ever, so it’s something we laugh about now. What I wouldn’t give to know what he was dreaming that night!!

Back when my husband and I were dating, we lived in apartment that had a hospice patient in the apartment below us who eventually passed.
One night my husband fell asleep with the TV on. I woke to turn it off and went back to bed. He suddenly sat up in bed and stared at the doorway to our room for a few minutes. Eyes wide open. I'm freaking out at this point thinking he's f*****g with me, I'm trying to get him to respond, saying it's not funny anymore. He just suddenly says, "you're not welcome here." Stares for about 5 more minutes and then just lays down and goes back to sleep with his back to me.
Needless to say, no matter what I did that man would not wake up. The next morning he had no memory of it and it never happened again. Still makes my gut churn when I think back on it.
**Edit to update since it's been asked a bunch. The hospice patient had passed away in the apartment directly below us like a week before this incident. So the timing just made it that much scarier 😭😭.

I woke up one night to a knocking sound, and when I rolled over to wake my girlfriend ( who I'm now married to ) I found she was not in bed. The lights outside the room were off, and I laid there for a moment, listening to the sound before it stopped. I called her name, but received no answer. The entire house was dark, and we lived in the boons, out in the middle of nowhere in Oregon. When I finally got the balls to wake up and investigate the sound and her whereabouts, I found nothing - until I reached the kitchen. As I was walking around, calling her name, I heard knocking again and found it coming from the closed pantry door. I called her name. Nothing. I stared at the door for what felt like minutes before I opened it and found her in there walking over and over again into the wall on the far side of the larder. She was completely naked, and this was the first instance of her experiencing somnambulism, which has, to this day, occurred quite frequently and seems to become stranger and stranger over time.

I'm the creepy one, sadly. I have a sleep disorder where I wake up in REM. It makes me functionally psychotic in various ways, as in I see and hear hallucinations (made up things), illusions (misinterpret real things), and have a strong sense of being watched/persecuted. Usually I think there's surveillance around, or people trying to crawl through the windows, etc. No meds really seem to touch it, I just have to try not to wake up in the middle of the night suddenly, like if there's a noise outside or a glowing light, something to combine with waking in REM and seeing something unusual. It tends to be every few weeks, unless there's a lot of noise outside to wake me up. Last night, in fact, I was arguing with the people climbing through the window that they weren't going to murder me. I am 100% not kidding. I sleep in a different room, so he can be sure to get enough sleep for work! Right now I sleep in a room that's got plants in the window, and they're often illuminated at night by the neighbor leaving her living room light on all night. It backlights the snake plants and they create all sorts of illusions for me, rats climbing the walls, baby birds screaming for food, hands reaching through, etc. I sleep with a mask over my eyes but if I wake up and hear something that startles me I rip it off and freak out lol. Over the years I've come up with a few 'pacts' I have with myself to cope, one of which is to just take pictures of the terrible things I think are going to hurt me, and then go back to sleep. Either they're real and they'll finally get me, or they're fake and[ it'll just be a picture of the same window as before](https://imgur.com/a/uU2LrJj), but I need my sleep! One week we had neighbors moving in next door without a moving truck so they'd just show up with their cars and unload late into the night. I have a bunch of pictures of the same window, over and over, night after night! edit: holy s**t, there's a big crowd of us doing wild s**t in our sleep, hugs to all.

When I'm stressed I get insanely vivid nightmares. But I'm also a lucid dreamer and can control my dreams up to a point. So while it was terrifying at first, now when a scary guy is there grabbing me, or my phone turns evil (that one happens a lot) I just yell at whatever it is to f**k off because "YOU'RE NOT REAL", or even mock and laugh at them. If that doesn't work, I just choose to wake up and therefore nope out of the situation. So it's annoying rather than scary or upsetting.

This was in the COVID era (roughly late May, early June) and we were discussing some plans we could do together. The sun sets and we're about to pick up our stuff to head inside. As we stand up she makes a comment about coming back up here to watch fireworks for the 4th of July. I'm not exaggerating, literally within 5 seconds of her saying that a lone firework goes off in the distance in a close neighborhood. And we're both just standing there wondering how she manifested this.

Then a few months go by with no incident. Then for another few weeks I was getting jump-scared awake because 1. The ceiling was falling 2. The light in the ceiling was freaking him out (there was no light in the ceiling) 3. He fully jumped up out of bed then jumped on top of me to protect me from the falling ceiling (kinda sweet?). Thankfully that's subsided. Sometimes he'll talk in him sleep but lately he jerks while falling asleep.

At the same time, I was dreaming I was in the powder room (right beside our bedroom), calling his name, and crying, because I couldn't stand up anymore and needed his help. That was weird AF.

Took a vacation in Vermont. The cabin we were staying at was out of cell range and pitch black (no street lights, barely a dirt road leading to it). Already creepy enough with the old house sounds. I finally get to sleep and am woken up to my husband yelling "he's got my hands, he's got my hands". Turns out he fell asleep like a vampire and his hands went numb and that was his sleeping brain's way of getting him to move. I didn't sleep well the rest of the trip

I used to do weird stuff in my sleep all the time... I guess when I was little, I would sleepwalk and just stand silently in the doorway of my parents' room. I freaked them out a couple times. Turns out I also giggle in my sleep sometimes. And once I had to share a bed with someone, and had a dream where I was kicking them. Woke up to them telling me to stop kicking them 😅

When I was younger and had a stressful day I would sleep talk and or walk. Once right after we got married I woke my husband up to make him move down in the bed because a bunch of boxes at the head of the bed were going to fall on him, there were no boxes. Right after I had our son, by C-Section, I woke him up by sitting up and patting around the bed and crying saying I can't find his (son's) head, don't remember that one but our son never slept in the bed with us.

My now ex used to sleep-grope me. It was not funny or sexy. It was like waking up being molested every time and absolutely terrifying. He always swore he had no memory of it, and I believe him, but when we split up and our daughters used to visit him he'd offer them to sleep over, one in the spare room, one in his bed with him. I would trust him not to intentionally do anything to either of them, but in his sleep is a different matter!

I have the uncanny ability to turn my hand to an incredible angle to retrieve my alarm (which is above my head), find the tiny off button, turn it off, put it back, and continue sleeping. All while being absolutely unconscious and asleep.
