Living with a sleep-talker is an adventure in itself. You wake up in the middle of the night to your partner mumbling complete gibberish — or muttering elaborate midnight monologues — while their mind is deep in dreamland. Time and again, you hope they will spill a juicy secret, but all they do is whisper sweet nothings and swiftly go back to sleep. And when morning rolls around, they have no clue it even happened.
Sleep talking is one of those bizarre activities that lead to hilarious late-night utterances. Usually. Because once in a blue moon, your loved one will declare something so odd, you're bound to scratch your head from confusion. So one person reached out to Reddit and asked fellow users to share the creepiest, weirdest, and downright random things their partner has ever said in their sleep. And the people have spoken!
From "I’m your fan" to "Open the window, Abigail, I'm burning like a meatball!", we have compiled an entertaining collection of short stories to share with you all. So grab a warm blanket and get ready to laugh through these amusing exchanges. And if you’re feeling up to it, let us know if you or someone you know has ever experienced anything like this down below in the comments.
Psst! For more sleep-talking goodness, check out our earlier posts right here and here.

I'm sitting in bed, scrolling through Reddit, my wife is asleep next to me. This exchange ensues:
Wife: *pushes me to get my attention*
Me: What?
Wife: I want a crunch wrap supreme.
Me: I am not going to Taco Bell right now. It's after midnight.
Wife: But we're already here.
Me: What..?
Wife: We're already at Taco Bell...see, there's the Chihuahua that says "Yo quiero Taco Bell".
Me: ....We're in bed.
Wife: *starting to get irritated* Yes, because we took the bed!
Me: We took the bed.
Wife: Yes!
Me: And how did we do that?
Wife: Are you telling me you don't know how to drive a bed?!
I woke up restless and hot, turned on the AC. Husband appeared to wake up too. He sat up and said “I’m your fan”, and waved his hands like a fan, and then laughed at his own joke and went back to sleep. Did not remember it in the morning.
My husband once sat bolt upright in bed (still fast asleep) and yelled “CAN I GET A HELL YEAH?!?”. Being the supportive wife, I of course replied “HELL YEAH!”. To which he responded “Yeah! Woo!” before falling back down on the bed and resuming the snoring.
Wish I had a video of it. He still doesn’t believe me.
I crawled into bed when she was asleep, she reached over and grabbed my arm. She snuggled my arm a bit and I thought it was sweet...
Until, with a thick Russian accent, she says "I BREAK YOU" and acted like she was snapping my arm.
Edit: while I appreciate all of the attention this post is getting, I need to inform you all that my wife would REALLY appreciate it if I stopped trying to "activate her" with random words. Thank you.
My freshmen year of school I lived with two guys in a dorm room that talked in their sleep. They wouldn’t just talk though, they’d have separate conversations with each other.
One night I woke up and one was chanting “I am the spring berry, I am the spring berry.” The other just responded “yeah, but chick-fil-a said no in 2011.”
They have no memory of this.
I had a sleepwalker/sleeptalker college roommate too. Once he randomly sprang up and started rummaging around his sheets and blankets, murmuring something about finding the "radio that keeps playing that music." There was no radio or music playing in the room during that exact moment. About 30 seconds later he just went back to sleep, as if nothing had happened. No memories of this event in the morning.
A.R - "Don't rock the boat."
Me - "What boat, why?"
A.R - "Just. Don't. Rock. The. Boat."
***So what do I do? I rock her a little.***
A.R - "Oh God, no!"
Me - "What's wrong?"
A.R - "There's spiders everywhere! I told you not to rock the boat."
Then, then she screamed, jerked around, I got kicked in the chest, and she woke up to me being winded without being able to speak.
Completely at random: "OPEN THE WINDOW ABIGAIL IM BURNING LIKE A MEATBALL" we don't even know an Abigail.
It was me. Wife was getting ready for work in the morning. I was asleep. She kissed me goodbye. I then said, out loud, "boy, I sure hope that was my wife."
Like there are random women sneaking into my bedroom to give me kisses.
Edit: She did not think I had side women. She thought it was hilarious. I do sleep talk sometimes, mostly gibberish, like word salad-type stuff.
My wife swears up and down, that while she was reading before bed, I said: "I see you didn't bring the bag of leaves, so I know you're not serious."
I hate it when people don't bring the bag of leaves, you can tell that they're just not committed to solving cat dandruff
Rolled over once to snuggle my sleeping husband and he pulled away from me growling “don’t touch me I’m married!” He got lots of brownie points.
Edit: whoa thanks for all the love guys. Hubby used to be a baker who did farmers markets and he’s pretty hot (if I do say so myself). All the lil desperate housewives would hit on him so I would imagine that was a practiced line in his head.
I also never told him what he said.... he just got some extra favors whenever I thought about it.
"No, I DON'T want discounted health insurance, I want it to be FREE!"
-My roommate, asleep at 6AM
Also my roommate, at varying ungodly hours "Satan, not now" and "I don't have time to die I have a final tomorrow"
I’m the one who does the sleep talking. My fiancé woke up and saw me petting the blanket and referring to it as our dog who had recently passed.
Once, me and our roommate were downstairs, while my husband was sleeping upstairs. We heard him yelling in his sleep and I figured he was having a nightmare and went to check on him.
​
​
Turns out he was, in fact, not yelling. in his dream he had a bunch of creepy ghost children trapped in a hole and was mocking them by saying "WoOoOoO~ WoOoOoO~... Bitches."
“BRACE YOURSELF!”
Then he let one rip and cackled like a maniac.
Wife: Oh no
Me: What's wrong?
Wife: I forgot
Me: Forgot what?
Wife: Gravity
Me: You forgot gravity?
Wife: Yeah
Me: It's okay, you can't forget gravity
Wife: I can't?
Me: No, it's okay.
Wife: Good.
Out like a light.
I was told by my fiancé that he came to bed one night after I had fallen asleep and started rubbing my back, which apparently prompted me to sleep-say “This just in! Local boy massages.. other local boy!!”
I am a 26 year old female but that night I was a young 19th century newsboy at heart.
One of my friends little brothers came into the room where we were sleeping when he was sleepwalking. He kicked open the door and said,
"[friend's name]! Did you tell mom abou the soup thing?" To which my friend replied,
"What soup thing?"
"You know, the thing with the [strangled screaming noise] and the [bird noise]!" Then he stood there for a minute before leaving.
Not a partner but my brother. He spoke English.
This is noteworthy because we had only adopted him from Romania 3 months earlier knowing zero English. He spoke better English in his sleep than while he was awake.
That checks out imo, some people tend to be anxious speaking a language different from their native, and when one is asleep, the anxiety is gone. One can't gain abilities one doesn't already have in their sleep.
One time while sleeping I grabbed my partner by the shoulder and told her “hey, people are just stacks of years” like it was the most important thing in the world.
Husband: “It’s all over the floor”
Me (mostly asleep and very confused): “What is?”
Husband: “Candy! But it’s okay, they’ll get it.”
Me: “Who will get it?”
Husband (quite happily): “The mice!”
Random:
While rubbing my thigh "you sure do have a nice engine in your van"
"The money is hidden off the road by the Indian Reservation." I tried to get her to talk more but she mumbled something I couldn't understand and went back to sleep.
She doesn't remember her dreams after she wakes up so it's this mystery of whether or not she hid money in the desert
My girlfriend would be stressed about work, talking about speed sheets and emails. I would answer her and say the most outrageous things.
"The spreadsheets got ice cream on them and need to be set on fire"
My ex wife once said "We'll see how f*****g funny you think it is when you're dead" in the middle of the night. Not mumbled. Fully articulated in a calm voice. Scared the s**t out of me.
Current wife once indignantly shouted "I can't poop here! Everyone is watching!" And I do mean shouted. I cannot imagine how I would have reacted had I been asleep. As it was, I was playing with my iPad in bed while she slept and I about jumped out of my skin.
I don't think your ex wife was sleep talking. You had a lucky escape.
We both talk in our sleep but I think this one was so far the weirdest.
One night he started giggling and I asked him why he's doing it. Then he just replied with "I want to tap your teeth and make them go 'hello'!"
Still no idea what that meant.
Edit:
Just remembered another one that was very weird.
One time in his sleep he started making very weird, distressed noises. I asked if he was having a nightmare and he told me he's in a war with colanders, trying to rip them apart with his bare hands.
"There's no love here."
Also, he studied so hard for an organic Chem final a few semesters ago that in the middle of the night he dead a*s said - "Aldehyde" at a louder than normal talking volume. I still get a good laugh at this
Really surprised I don't have any PTSD dreams about Org Chem classes . . .
My wife would jump to tell you that I said; "How come you get the cool spaceships and I get the Jetsons?" Then made the Jetsons flying car sound and went back to sleep
that does seem like an unfair business deal, I must admit.
My roommate sleep talks almost every night and I once walked in on him sobbing. Full on bawling.
I asked if he was good and he said in the calmest voice “yeah sure I just wanted to see it to the end”.... he doesn’t remember it one bit.
The runner-up was when he burst into laughter and then said “why did none you try to chop my head off just then?”
Son(sleeping): ONE HUNDRED?!?!
Me: 100 what?
Son: ONE HUNDRED PUSH UPS?!!!!
It’s not something he said, he sort of mumbles when he talks, but it’s the sounds he makes. Sometimes he giggles like a little girl; which is terrifying.
The worst was when he sat straight up and gasped super loud while staring at the wall. I asked what was wrong, but he was asleep. Meanwhile, I couldn’t go back to sleep because I was so scared.
My husband talks in his sleep too. Most of the time, this leads to some pretty funny conversations. But once he suddenly got up in the middle of the night, robotically eating a yogurt, and sat rigidly on the edge of the bed, staring at me with absolutely blank eyes. Then I understood what dead eyes mean.

My husband sleepwalks. Once he got up and went over to the bedroom door and opened it. I'm waking up as he does this. He then comes over to me and whispers, 'We have to leave the door open - so they can get in'. 😱😱😱
Not my partner but ME. I woke myself up doing this and was just as confused as my husband at first lol I dreamt that someone came into our house and completely trashed our kitchen and living room. I was so angry because they refused to clean or pick it up, so I flung my arms out and yelled "well, thanks for the mess!!!" I apparently did this for real, arms straight out and all. LOL My husband was like, "what mess? What is going on?"
I'm a sleep talker but it was much worse when I was pregnant. Once pushed my husband out of bed shouting 'we have to get off the train, it's badger cull station'
a sleeping husband screamed at the top of his lungs, "aaahhhhh" when his wife's arm fell asleep and she lightly bit it to see how asleep it was. She didn't feel a thing.
Not long ago, i had gone to bed before my husband. i had just started to doze off but not fully asleep when he came into the room. in my head i was thinking about our cats, in reality i gave several hearty "psp psp psp" out loud, thinking he was one of the cats. He said something and it woke me up, then i realized what i thought & did :) He was very confused :)
I'm a heavy sleeper & shared a room w/ older sister (by 3.5 years) growing up. Found out some personal stuff about her (she was 17, same bf 3 years-you can guess). Asked her about it the next day & swore I wouldn't tell. Afterwards she always waited till I was asleep before she would sleep! LOL 😆
My stepdad, as a kid: his parents had some friends over playing cards. A while after he had gone to bed, he walks into the kitchen, opens the bread box, opens the bread bag, takes out a slice and blows his nose on it. He then crumples it up and throws it into the trash can and heads back to bed. Parents and guests were all silently watching this whole process. This has been a legend in the family for years!
I do kind of remember this. We were both just about asleep, hubby says something like "Tomorrow, you and I need to get groceries". My reply was all about the company U&I sugar. How it was competing with C&H sugar, but was beets instead of cane. And I sang the C&H song. Went on about sugar. The funny thing was that I didn't actually say all the words I thought I did, so hubby was really confused. In my defense, that's the night I learned to not take a Percocet and then a cannabis gummy...
I know that I make all sorts of sounds when I'm falling asleep and while I am asleep. One night I was at my partner's place and we were listening to music and I've fallen asleep on the sofa (unbeknownst to him) and when the song Vincent came on, I apparently sang it perfectly, pitch and words, everything. He was quite impressed until he discovered I was actually asleep and had no memory of singing it. I can't sing to save my life and I definitely don't know all the words to "Vincent"! It's such a pity I've never been to repeat the performance!
Sharing a tent with my sister on a camping trip and she randomly said "Where's the pie?" Tragically, there was no pie.
When we were younger, my brother and me shared a room, when we were spending holidays by my grandparents. He was usually moving a lot in his sleep but for the first time i heard him talk. He suddenly sat down,screamed briefly "OH." and said " no, no alice. So, gentlemen, one last cup of tea before leaving?" And fall back asleep.
My mom was sharing a room with her sibling and I had a funny sleep talking moment. Apparently the sibling suddenly sat up in bed, my mom asked if they were okay, and the sibling just said the balloons… they’re gone! They then made a dramatic motion of letting go a balloon, and back fell asleep
I just remembered this after reading this post. Back in high school I had my best friend sleeping over, and my niece (who lived with us at the time) wanted to sleep with us. She was about 3 years old. No prob, she slept in my bed often. This particular night, she sits straight up in bed, waking both me and my friend up. The only light was from the moon peeking through the blinds, but we could see her face clearly. She was wide eyed and terrified. Then she looks at my best friend and said, “KiKi! That M****r F****n ghost ‘gon get me!” Laid down and went back to sleep.
I once had a dream I was in elementary school, leading my class to recess. Apparently, the door to the playground was my grandparents' front door, and if my grandma hadn't told me to stop trying to unlock the door and go back to bed, I probably would've just walked out into the street.
Whe my aunt was a teen. She never told my grandpa her plans that she did that day untill she was asleep, when she was asleep she would start talking about everything she did that day
My sister talks in her sleep, mostly gibberish, but sometimes when I get up in the middle of the night and come back in the room she'll say "hi" even though she's asleep. Also one time she was asleep and said "Thank you so much, Thank you for making me, I really appreciate that" so yeah
Once when I was younger, I had a dream where an imaginary king of an imaginary kingdom gave me a bunch of cucumbers. He told me not to let anyone steal them or they would be turned into pickles, which could be used as a weapon against his kingdom. In real life, my mom comes in to put away the cat, which was sleeping next to me. She bends down and I reach out and grab the cat, yelling "MY CUCUMBER!" At the top of my lungs. Then I laid back down and continued sleeping. We still laugh about this.
One time my college roommate came back to our dorm room late and clearly inebriated. He used our couch as a ladder to get up to his loft. I’m half awake watching all this. He tosses a little while when suddenly he rolls out and falls half-on/off the back of our couch! It looked really painful. I called out to him and asked if he was ok and he just kind of mumbled as he stood up. He just stood there for a while while I watched concerned. Then he took a few steps over to the radiator on our wall. I was confused until I heard the sound of splatter against the wall. I was pretty much aghast but then he did the funniest thing; he reached up with his hand and tried to paw at some invisible thing. I realized he was trying to flush a urinal. When nothing happened to flushing heard him mutter “Fuuuhhhh”. I got down (kinda laughing inside) and helped him back to his loft. After he was tucked him I assessed the damage and wiped up the mess. He did not remember any of it in the morning.
My favorite of my toddler sleep talking 3yo: BLIPPI IS A B***H! Me: excuse me?! 3yo: mom farted Then more snoring
My husband and kids sleep talk but they're bilingual ( Welsh /English) also learning Spanish in school and obsessed with duolingo so I never know what language I'm going to get girls would speak wenglish often when they were little it seas so sweet
I have had sleepovers with my gf and I sleep with earplugs. I was more awake than her so I took out my earplugs and went to snuggle with her. Suddenly she says "I need the F4 button" I ask her what she meant. "The F4 button, I need the F4 button!" I asked her why but she didn't respond to that, instead she said "Someone moved the F4 button, I need it" out of ideas I grab her hand and say "Here's the F4 button" and let her boop my nose. She goes back to sleep. I tell her about 2 hours later and she starts giggling.
The other morning my partner yelled "get dressed, you look like an idiot!!" and woke himself up, I was in hysterics and he couldn't remember what he was dreaming about!
My husband once told me "I need an ice-cream machine so I can clean the carpet" when he was sleeping. I'm curious as to how he was planning on doing that lol
Story time : My mom,stepdad, little sister and I were all in a hotel room together for vacation and my mom was cursing at me for something in my dream. I've been told that I yelled " Stop f*****g cussing b***h!" At the top of my lungs. My mom said my stepdad thought I yelled that while o was awake. I still haven't lived that down .
I tried posting this but the app crashed - Bf at the time told me about a "conversation" we had while I was asleep that made him a bit uncomfortable lol. I rolled over and hugged him really tight which would be cute except I then said "I threw the f*ing roses in the f*ing pool" him: "hun we don't have a pool" me after a frustrated sigh: "your body is in the basement" him: "what basement!" me: very annoyed now and explaining slowly "I.put.the.body.downstairs.and.the.roses.in.the.pool" I then apparently went quiet for a while while he tried to wrap his head around wtf I was going on about. A while later I mumbled quietly "I don't know why you can't clean up after yourself" We're still friends and we still joke that apparently I'd help him hide a body, but I'd be really annoyed about the whole thing.
One time as I was in the car with my family driving to Maine for vacation I laid my head down in my sisters lap and woke up to her petting me in her sleep😂 Then on the same trip ( we shared a tent) I was half asleep and she started pushing me in her sleep, telling me to get out of the poison ivy. The next morning she said she had a dream about me standing in a patch of it lol
i was't there, but my parents told me this story.when my older brother was like 5 my mom found him sticking his head in the refrigerator saying "where's my hat i'm so cold"
Hub yanked me out of bed, got me on the floor, and kept yelling "keep your head down soldier!". I just said "OK Sarge" and he eventually crawled back to bed. I stayed up and watched true crime dramas until 6 a.m. This was many years ago, much closer to his little adventure in the desert than now. Nothing much since then, although he did stack two matching armchairs on top of one another, after which he woke up. came into the bedroom, and swore we had a poltergeist.
There are several theories about somnambulism or sleep talking & walking. It usually happens during non-REM or Delta sleep periods. I always wonder what our prehistoric naturist ancestors made of it.
I'm just curious as to the source for these. Some really seem scripted.
My ex fell asleep while I was reading and said "woooow look honey, it's even written in Chinese!" I asked "what is in Chinese?". "The banners above the city" he replied. I was pretty confused and asked "what do you mean?" He pointed to the ceiling and said excitedly "Look! Their writing looks like doors and windows, but it's beauuuuuutiful."

I was a sleep talker when I was younger (not so much now). Once, on holiday, while we were staying in a travelodge on the way, I reportedly said "catch the legendary pokemon". I had not been playing pokemon recently, and wasn't even part way through a run at the time. I also had never reached the part of a pokemon game where you could catch the legendary pokemon (because I was like 7 and gen 4 was hard). No idea where it came from
I was sleeping while my now ex-wife was reading. I sang the line from the Blue Bonnet margarine commercial - "everything's better with Blue Bonnet on it" - giggled and went back to sleep. She asked in the morning if I remembered singing - I did, but had no clue what might have inspired me.
One time my mom asked my dad if he would like some tea. Still asleep, he said, "Yes, tea would be nice." When mom returned with two mugs of tea, dad [now awake] said "I didn't ask for tea." -- One time I woke myself up by saying "But I don't want to" in my sleep. I don't remember what it was about, but apparently it didn't wake my brother in the bunk above me
I talk in my sleep and my last girlfriend also talked in her sleep. I wonder what we talked about.
I used to date a woman who talked in her sleep. I also talk in my sleep. I wonder what we talked about.
I've got two stories about sleeptalking. First one is one of my sisters. We are both about 11 or 12. I'm a really light sleeper so when I was growing up I was in charge of waking my younger sisters. Well, I yelled at them to get up. No response from my youngest sister but the sister closest to my age yells back "How much is it?" I reply with "what?" and she repeats herself. To this day she has no clue what it was that she wanted to know the price of.
I am/was both a sleep walker and sleep talker (I've mostly grown out of it). The funniest story I have about talking in my sleep was on a school ski trip when I was 13. Stayed in dorm like accommodations and I bunked with two friends. Apparently friend 1 would be awake listening to friend two and I have complete gibberish conversations in our sleep complete with sleep laughing at whatever we were talking about
I once started screaming in the middle of the night saying "THE SHOE IS TOO BIGGG!". XD
My best friend has been a sleep walker and sleep talker his whole life. My favourite ever, from when we were all sleeping at his house in high school: Friend sits up suddenly, me and one other friend were still awake, so we were like "friend, what's wrong?" Eyes still closed, he goes "shhh, I'm downloading colours." Then he pauses and YELLS: "And I am NOT sleepwalking!!!!!" Laid back down and went back to quiet sleep.
I can’t believe the coincidence but today is literally 10 years from the day my ex-husband and I moved into an apartment that had been subdivided out of a Victorian era house. We discovered to our horror that the basement section included in our lease had a walled off extra cellar area with an externally locking door. Inside the windowless celler was a small cot, illegible words scratched in the concrete floor and broken children’s toys. As we tried to fall asleep that night in the bedroom directly above said hidden cellar, my Ex-husband who had never before sleep talked started to growl in his sleep and eventually said: “we are still here.” Fun times
I don't sleep talk but I make weird sounds. Best one: my ex told me that in the middle of the night I started doing moaning noises. He said at first he thought I was having an orgasm but then he realized that I was actually crying. I never told him that I dreamt about having sex with a famous footballer.
My husband sleepwalks. Once he got up and went over to the bedroom door and opened it. I'm waking up as he does this. He then comes over to me and whispers, 'We have to leave the door open - so they can get in'. 😱😱😱

When nothing happened to flushing heard him mutter “Fuuuhhhh”. I got down (kinda laughing inside) and helped him back to his loft. After he was tucked him I assessed the damage and wiped up the mess. He did not remember any of it in the morning.
My favorite of my toddler sleep talking 3yo: BLIPPI IS A B***H! Me: excuse me?! 3yo: mom farted Then more snoring
My husband and kids sleep talk but they're bilingual ( Welsh /English) also learning Spanish in school and obsessed with duolingo so I never know what language I'm going to get girls would speak wenglish often when they were little it seas so sweet
I have had sleepovers with my gf and I sleep with earplugs. I was more awake than her so I took out my earplugs and went to snuggle with her. Suddenly she says "I need the F4 button" I ask her what she meant. "The F4 button, I need the F4 button!" I asked her why but she didn't respond to that, instead she said "Someone moved the F4 button, I need it" out of ideas I grab her hand and say "Here's the F4 button" and let her boop my nose. She goes back to sleep. I tell her about 2 hours later and she starts giggling.
The other morning my partner yelled "get dressed, you look like an idiot!!" and woke himself up, I was in hysterics and he couldn't remember what he was dreaming about!
My husband once told me "I need an ice-cream machine so I can clean the carpet" when he was sleeping. I'm curious as to how he was planning on doing that lol
Story time : My mom,stepdad, little sister and I were all in a hotel room together for vacation and my mom was cursing at me for something in my dream. I've been told that I yelled " Stop f*****g cussing b***h!" At the top of my lungs. My mom said my stepdad thought I yelled that while o was awake. I still haven't lived that down .
I tried posting this but the app crashed - Bf at the time told me about a "conversation" we had while I was asleep that made him a bit uncomfortable lol. I rolled over and hugged him really tight which would be cute except I then said "I threw the f*ing roses in the f*ing pool" him: "hun we don't have a pool" me after a frustrated sigh: "your body is in the basement" him: "what basement!" me: very annoyed now and explaining slowly "I.put.the.body.downstairs.and.the.roses.in.the.pool" I then apparently went quiet for a while while he tried to wrap his head around wtf I was going on about. A while later I mumbled quietly "I don't know why you can't clean up after yourself" We're still friends and we still joke that apparently I'd help him hide a body, but I'd be really annoyed about the whole thing.
One time as I was in the car with my family driving to Maine for vacation I laid my head down in my sisters lap and woke up to her petting me in her sleep😂 Then on the same trip ( we shared a tent) I was half asleep and she started pushing me in her sleep, telling me to get out of the poison ivy. The next morning she said she had a dream about me standing in a patch of it lol
i was't there, but my parents told me this story.when my older brother was like 5 my mom found him sticking his head in the refrigerator saying "where's my hat i'm so cold"
Hub yanked me out of bed, got me on the floor, and kept yelling "keep your head down soldier!". I just said "OK Sarge" and he eventually crawled back to bed. I stayed up and watched true crime dramas until 6 a.m. This was many years ago, much closer to his little adventure in the desert than now. Nothing much since then, although he did stack two matching armchairs on top of one another, after which he woke up. came into the bedroom, and swore we had a poltergeist.
There are several theories about somnambulism or sleep talking & walking. It usually happens during non-REM or Delta sleep periods. I always wonder what our prehistoric naturist ancestors made of it.
I'm just curious as to the source for these. Some really seem scripted.
My ex fell asleep while I was reading and said "woooow look honey, it's even written in Chinese!" I asked "what is in Chinese?". "The banners above the city" he replied. I was pretty confused and asked "what do you mean?" He pointed to the ceiling and said excitedly "Look! Their writing looks like doors and windows, but it's beauuuuuutiful."

I was a sleep talker when I was younger (not so much now). Once, on holiday, while we were staying in a travelodge on the way, I reportedly said "catch the legendary pokemon". I had not been playing pokemon recently, and wasn't even part way through a run at the time. I also had never reached the part of a pokemon game where you could catch the legendary pokemon (because I was like 7 and gen 4 was hard). No idea where it came from
I was sleeping while my now ex-wife was reading. I sang the line from the Blue Bonnet margarine commercial - "everything's better with Blue Bonnet on it" - giggled and went back to sleep. She asked in the morning if I remembered singing - I did, but had no clue what might have inspired me.
One time my mom asked my dad if he would like some tea. Still asleep, he said, "Yes, tea would be nice." When mom returned with two mugs of tea, dad [now awake] said "I didn't ask for tea." -- One time I woke myself up by saying "But I don't want to" in my sleep. I don't remember what it was about, but apparently it didn't wake my brother in the bunk above me
I talk in my sleep and my last girlfriend also talked in her sleep. I wonder what we talked about.
I used to date a woman who talked in her sleep. I also talk in my sleep. I wonder what we talked about.
I've got two stories about sleeptalking. First one is one of my sisters. We are both about 11 or 12. I'm a really light sleeper so when I was growing up I was in charge of waking my younger sisters. Well, I yelled at them to get up. No response from my youngest sister but the sister closest to my age yells back "How much is it?" I reply with "what?" and she repeats herself. To this day she has no clue what it was that she wanted to know the price of.
I am/was both a sleep walker and sleep talker (I've mostly grown out of it). The funniest story I have about talking in my sleep was on a school ski trip when I was 13. Stayed in dorm like accommodations and I bunked with two friends. Apparently friend 1 would be awake listening to friend two and I have complete gibberish conversations in our sleep complete with sleep laughing at whatever we were talking about
I once started screaming in the middle of the night saying "THE SHOE IS TOO BIGGG!". XD
My best friend has been a sleep walker and sleep talker his whole life. My favourite ever, from when we were all sleeping at his house in high school: Friend sits up suddenly, me and one other friend were still awake, so we were like "friend, what's wrong?" Eyes still closed, he goes "shhh, I'm downloading colours." Then he pauses and YELLS: "And I am NOT sleepwalking!!!!!" Laid back down and went back to quiet sleep.
I can’t believe the coincidence but today is literally 10 years from the day my ex-husband and I moved into an apartment that had been subdivided out of a Victorian era house. We discovered to our horror that the basement section included in our lease had a walled off extra cellar area with an externally locking door. Inside the windowless celler was a small cot, illegible words scratched in the concrete floor and broken children’s toys. As we tried to fall asleep that night in the bedroom directly above said hidden cellar, my Ex-husband who had never before sleep talked started to growl in his sleep and eventually said: “we are still here.” Fun times
I don't sleep talk but I make weird sounds. Best one: my ex told me that in the middle of the night I started doing moaning noises. He said at first he thought I was having an orgasm but then he realized that I was actually crying. I never told him that I dreamt about having sex with a famous footballer.
