Do you talk in your sleep?

I'm apparently a bit mean in my sleep. I've gotten very protective over my sleep in the last few years as consistent sleep has always been something I've struggled with, and so when my partner accidentally wakes me up I apparently grumble and act very dramatic about it.

I'll often ask in the morning, "Was I mean at all last night?" I feel bad about it but I have no idea that it's happening.

Like this

I used to, my wife's snoring made it hard to get a word in edge wise, so I stopped.

Apparently I said "I'm gunna kill myself" in my sleep last week and it freaked my girlfriend out

Full ass conversations with people

I literally shout in my sleep regularly. And laugh a lot too. My partners and friends have had some interesting times from this.

I knew someone who talked in their sleep. I spent the night at their house in middle school, and over the night he would randomly sit up a little and say things as if in reaction to something he was doing like "really dude?" or "seriously? I had that!" I straight up asked him what he was doing, and he said he was playing Modern Warfare, duh, then laid back down and passed back out.

It was weird as fuck tbh.

I’ll let you know if you talk in your sleep once you wake up. Hiding in your home for now. See you soon.

No, but I snore. Snoring may be annoying, but at least it doesn’t accidentally reveal anything from my subconscious.

The question is: can someone talk to you while you're sleeping and alter the course of events in your dream?

I have done in the past but it’s not a common thing. It really something I did when I was a kid. In the last 10 years I’ve actually done a bit of sleepwalking. It only really happens when I’m drunk but it’s always been quite fun as I usually just hear the stories in the morning. I’m not just wandering around aimlessly, there’s usually some kind of logic going on. You know when you’re in a dream and you have some kind of weird backstory to what you’re doing but you don’t know how you know it, you just know. I’m kind of walking around slightly conscious of where I am but with some weird backstory. Most of the time I just think it’s daytime and I’m doing something, like going to work.

I'm told that I do.

Not anymore. When I was younger I would talk in my sleep a lot, even sleepwalked, but it slowly faded with age. Now I'm in my 50s and I can't remember the last time someone told me I talked in my sleep.

Only when I start screaming or crying from nightmares...

Did you hear the secrets that I keep?

I murmur and make weird noises, and I’m usually somewhat aware when I make noises. Happens when I’m falling asleep, mostly. But sometimes I do mutter stuff, I’ve been told. Wouldn’t surprise me. Apparently it’s not really words though.

My sister, idk if she still does, used to sit up and have full conversations with people while she was asleep. They made absolutely no sense but that’s the only way you knew she was asleep. Apparently that runs in the family along with other weird sleep quirks (like my grandma sleeping with her eyes open).
