Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

I talk in my sleep all the time and will wake up my husband trying to convince him things like "A huge spider is crawling on the ceiling" - or "A man is looking in our second story window"

Last night was the worst though. I actually was sitting up looking out the window. I still can't believe I was sleeping for this because it felt so real. So - I saw one of our garbage cans roll into the street. I woke my DH and told him he had to go out there because it could cause an accident in case someone didn't see it. I dragged his azz out of bed - he walked out there (boxers and all) - and I see him walk back to our house with nothing - I'm thinking "What an idiot - this kid doesn't see the garbage can in the middle of the street" -- I proceed to run outside (barefoot) to grab the can from the street.....it wasn't there. I dreamt the whole thing.

Now - please tell me I am not the only loony that does this? Is this normal?

I dont talk in my sleep, but i feel like my dreams are very very real, and sometimes they feel really long and go on forever

My DH talks in his sleep alot, its mostly about work, and business related things. Sometimes its hard to make out what he is talking about though

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

I don't talk in my sleep. I mumble or laugh.

I've had dreams where someones death is involved and when I wake up I am really upset until I speak with that person to hear their voice. I've also had dreams where DH and I argue and I wake up mad at him. Then I realize he's cuddled up next to me, so things are all good.

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

Yes, DH tells me I talk ALL the time. Apparently every night. I am actually "living" my dreams. I even have been a sleep walker a few times. Not with DH (that we know of so far!). I think I started at age 11 or so. My parents witnessed it. I remembered moving furniture and unplugging appliances (to wake up the next day and see them unplugged... yes it scared me everytime I realized it afterwards). The events have been spaced out of the years.

The last episode was funny. I dreamed EX was going to hold me down to tickle me and I defend myself by hurting him. I heard "OUCH" in the middle of the night. I had pinched him. I don't sleep for days after an episode. I am scared of what I can do since I actually act on my dreams. I am scared I am going to go to the store and take the car.

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

im not sure if i talk in my sleep but i do have dreams that i think are real A LOT! i recently had a dream that one of my dads employees found a dead body in the dumpster and i was so confused and distrubed that i couldnt determine if it was real or not. i asked my Dad if this happened and he told me i was insane. the employees name in my dream was clair?? (does not have a clair working for him) totally bizarre.

I don't talk in my sleep but I do feel like my dreams are real - expecially the one where I was a finalist on Rock of Love!

I do talk in my sleep once in a while. But Saturday night I had the most vivid dream. I dreamt that my brother had died. It seemed so real that I woke up hysterical crying. DH didn't know what to do for me. I couldn't stop myself.

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

When I was little I did. I used to have serious night terrors. I remember thinking there were people in the hallway outside my bedroom, that the room was filling with water, and it was vivid.

When I was in 9th grade, I had a dream that a girl in my school died and everyone was really upset. I got my braces on that day, so I didn't go to school until later, and one of my friends stopped me in the hall to tell me a girl in my grade had died in her sleep. Different girl than the dream I had, but scary still.

Now I just have dreams that I'm always late for something, or I missed something important.

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

I probably do once a week...Dh says it's usually nonsense

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

The last 3 nights I have been waking up talking in my sleep and my dreams do seem very real. The other night I woke up talking in my sleep telling my sister to watch my niece onm the floor. Last night, I thought my niece was next to me in the bed and she fell out of the bed and I was moving the mattress. Very weird!

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

I talk in my sleep all the time. I have even had entire conversations with my DH and not remember what I said when he reminds me of it. When I dream my dreams do feel real and if I am having a particularly good dream, I get bummed when I wake up and the dream is over.

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

Before I had my daughter I would talk in my sleep all the time. My DH would tell me I would actually have conversations. He would try talking back to me to see if I'd answer...once I did.

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

The worst part is when I wake up and catch myself in mid-dream where I know I sound like a psycho

This is a true one also unfortunately lol:
"Look - the car is parked in my closet. It's right there. How do you NOT see it? The lights are so bright. Ooooh nooo....there is no car parked in my closet is there?" -- Then DH proceeds to tell me that I have lost my mind!

Re: Do you talk in your sleep - and do you feel like your dreams are real

OMG --- DH says that I talk in my sleep a bit but I don't think anything major has come of it...

But he has this period where he is totally spacey when he wakes up from sleeping...

The other night he went to bed early and I woke him up when I went to bed so I could sleep becasue he was in the MIDDLE of our small, full sized bed.

Here goes the wacky, insane convo!

He asks me "Ajax or AppleJacks?"

What?!?!?!?!

The Cereal! You said they had Cereal!!!

What are you talking about?

He's getting all pizzed and yelling at me, like how can I not know what he is talking about?

We were going door-to-door!!!!!!

What? For What?

To see if they want to plug in their amplifiers!!!

Bill, you are sleeping, go back to sleep!

I can't believe you don't know who the monkeys are!

What monkeys?!?!?!

The BAND, OMG, the beatles knock-off band, how can you not know who the monkey's are?!?!?!?

I was just like totally confused and he woke up about 20 minutes later and realized it all and realized that he was yelling at me REALLY bad and said that he can't wait for me to call my sisters and tell them the next day
