Strangest thing you've done while sleeping

Do you sleepwalk or talk? What's the strangest/funniest thing you or someone you know has done while under the influence of sleep?

Personally, I used to do a lot more of it when I was a kid, between 5 and 10. My specialty was coming out of my room in the middle of the night to start arguments with my sister or parents about things, such as when we needed to start packing for our nonexistent trip to Costa Rica, and ultimately that yes, I was too making sense, and no, I wasn't asleep and wouldn't just go back to bed, thank you very much.

It's especially noticeable if he has been playing that day. His fingers will just start twitching away. I always ask him what he's playing and he has only ever answered me twice.

The first time it was Metallica and the second time was 311. :rofl:

Although sometimes I am playing guitar, and occasionally I dream I am playing an instrument I don't play, such as the clarinet.

was peeing against a fence post, when in reality I was peeing against a door jamb.

one night screaming at the top of my lungs....
shaking and crying....

GET HIM OFF MY BACK...PLEASE.. GET HIM OFF MY BACK...
needless to say my husband and I didn't sleep very well the rest of the night....

My husband sat up one night and screamed at the top of his lungs...

TURN OFF THE FUCKING MACHINES!!!!!!

he worked at a dye house

lost

I used to sleepwalk as a child...

I'd end up next to my parent's bed....it would wake up my mom, and then she'd put me back to bed...

I don't remember this at all...

But when my oldest daughter was a baby, I would hallucinate about her being up next to the ceiling in a precarious place!

My husband would calmly tell me she was OK, and not in danger, and I'd say OK and go back to sleep!

Those I do remember...Weird!

:shrug:

I got up, answered the phone, made plans, and fell back asleep. When my date showed up, I had no memory of talking to him on the phone. Maybe he just showed up... I don't know. I think we still went out, though! LOL

Not in the color I wanted, but it was nice and warm.

Me, all these years later I still do this when I think about it:
:rofl:

But the beagle runs and barks in her sleep. It is most annoying.

My ex used it as a good example of how I spend too much time on the computer.

woke myself up a couple of times hollering, too.

This is hearsay, since I obviously didn't hear it myself, but an old roommate told me I talked one night and said, "how big did you say it was?" and lifted my blankets as I said it. As I said, I can't verify it, but it is hilarious if it's true.

no drugs or alcohol involved, I was just very tired

She'll get up and think its morning, take off clothes,start the shower and then awaken. She's never made it into the water, but very very close.

But everyone I've ever lived with says I talk in my sleep. Memorable sentences: "There's a cowboy in my bed. Harry Potter put him there", and "Don't worry. It's only a slide trombone". I sleep walk occasionally too. I once climbed a bookcase in my sleep, thinking the bathroom was on the other side (it wasn't).

I still wake myself up from time time laughing. I can never remember what prompted it, the next morning.

:rofl: Good thing the bookcase didn't fall on you...
I think I've only talked in my sleep once. I fell asleep in the car going home late at night, and my mom, who was driving, says she heard me say, "Hey you with the sunglasses! Why don't you come down here and say that to my face like a man?"

My sister was giving me directions. "Turn left here". I'd turn left. "Now turn right". I'd turn right. Then she said "Turn left at the animal shelter". Huh? We were in the middle of a quiet residential area - no animal shelters in sight. "What animal shelter?" "The one where mother works", she responded reasonably. Our mother had been dead for almost ten years, and had never worked in an animal shelter! It was at this point that I realized my sister was fast asleep and only sounded like she knew the way.

Thank goodness for cell phones, or I think I might still be circling that suburb looking for an animal shelter.

my best one: I was asleep and my wife was reading, and suddenly I shouted out, "WHAT A DEAL!" So she asked me, "what?"

"A BARGAIN!" I enthusiastically told her.

"A bargain on what?" she asked.

My answer: "SPORTS!"

Then I woke up, but did not remember any of it. And I am not a sports fan, but I do wish I knew what the good deal was all about....

When I was about 8 I dreamed I had to go to the bathroom. I got up and sleepwalked into my closet, where I proceeded to pee on my Hoppity-Hop, waking myself up.

When I was about 16 Mom told me she came into my room to turn off my fan so I wouldn't get cold, when I looked at her with eyes wide open and said, "I like surprises." She said, "What?" I repeated, "I like surprises!" I had no recollection of this whatsoever!

My mother told me about it the next morning. She watched me open the door and go out in my barefeet and pjs--in the dead of winter in New England. Obviously she jumped up and steered me back in. I had no recollection about it the next day.

As an adult I often have such funny dreams that I laugh myself awake. :D

or so I have been told.

I have numerous times woken myself up "pleasuring" myself.

Sometimes I have loud arguments & shout so loud I wake myself up as well. It runs in my family. My grandmother was once found fully dressed, eating sugar out of the sugar bowl when she was a kid. She also walked home in her sleep from a friend's house. My cousin's son was also a sleep walker & sometimes would ride his bike. My dad talked in his sleep. Suffice to say, no one in our family wants to try Ambien. :scared:

from the young age of two. I was always a good source of amusement for the girls at adolescent pajama party sleepovers and anyone who spent the night in the same house as me. I've had entire conversations with my mother & husband while asleep and never remember them. I used to take walks outside while asleep. I was mortified when I moved away from home and rented my first apartment in Chicago. I locked myself in my apartment each night and hid the key in the bottom of a jar filled with marbles. To this day I talk, even yell, in my sleep while dreaming. Occasionally I wake up in odd places, like, sitting in my car in the garage or in a chair at the kitchen table. Although I love to sleep nude, I ALWAYS go to bed with pj's on for fear that I may resume my walkabouts and some unsuspecting neighbor might find me wandering.

:blush:

no clue what I was dreaming

I was driving up the Geiger Grade from Reno to Virginia City (a drive in RL had made many times).

I was shifting into first, taking off, Shifting into second! Whee, and really starting to take the sharp curves, goin' fast and SHIFTING! into Third! Oh Yeah!!!!


My boyfriend woke me up because he was screaming... WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

It wasn't a stick shift in my hand....


I wasn't trying to be mean, but I did laugh awfully hard when I realized what I had been doing... :rofl:

:scared:

You know how much larger things and actions are in dreams :evilgrin:

*still trying to catch my breath*


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:evilgrin:

I thought the clock said 7PM and I was late for work (6PM) - actually it was 7AM and I had been asleep about 30 minutes :o

One of the reasons I refuse to share a bed with anyone who's not sexually interested in me.

I thought it was a glass of milk.
I was very tired and very thirsty.

:D

when I landed on and busted a wooden chair, then walked to the kitchen, only to be busted (awakened) by my parents with my hand in the cookie jar. I believe I ate more then one cookie before they caught me.

Because I had a dream that Kevin Rudd, our then Shadow Foreign Minister, was giving a speech and I was going to see him. I liked him so much in the real world that it must have influenced my subsconscience

Incidentally Rudd was elected our Prime Minister on Saturday night so naturally I was overjoyed

when he was small. I had to check on him during the night because of the strange things he did.

The funniest one was a dream he had. I went to check on him, and he had the sheet pulled tightly over his head. He was clutching the sheet hard with both fists. I could see the outline of his entire face under the sheet.

When I tried to take the sheet away from him, he clutched it more tightly. He said, "NO! The cabbages might see me!"

and what's funny is, my wife can tell when I am sleep talking because I ENUNCIATE REALLY CLEARLY. lol.

I don't think I've ever walked in my sleep, although I have uh... gotten busy, so to speak. Waking up mid-coitus is pretty strange. We both do it - not very often, and usually it does not go very far beyond making out before one of us wakes up - but I probably do it more than she does.

My wife tends to laugh in her sleep - she'll sit up, and just start laughing really hard, then fall back down and not remember it.

yep. She was in bed with me all snuggled in, and I was having a bad dream where I bit someones hand. I apparently acted it out in my sleep, and as soon as I did it I woke up 'cause I could actually feel the contact of teeth to skin. She was not impressed. Scared the crap out of me too. I left no marks, I couldn't have done it that hard but just enough to wake her up out of a sound sleep and start screaming.

whacked myself in the face, wearing a ring w/ a pretty big stone.

Locking the keys on my cell phone isn't enough. I need to turn it off when I sleep because I've made and answered more calls than I care to admit while sleeping.

I've been told I don't ramble but I will have conversations while sleeping.

Occasionally I'll sleep walk but I've never gone outside. Once I unplugged my roommate's alarm clock while sleeping. She later admitted that she set it for 5 am and let it go off for over 15 minutes before I did something about it.

I hate when somebody asks me to explain what I did when I was sleeping like it was some totally rational decision I planned.
