What weird things have you / someone else said in your sleep?

Not a TAAT but inspired by one. What weird things have you said or heard someone else say in their sleep?

When I was younger I used to sleepwalk and sleeptalk a lot. Once I tried to evacuate my entire family from the house, claiming that there was a bomb.

My son seems to have inherited my quirky behaviour and unfortunately also gets night terrors. One time during an episode he shouted over and over again "Mummy's going to die!" which was lovely to hear...

Packpacking and sharing a hostel room with some German travellers.
In the middle of the night one of them said -in English!- ‘yummy, yummy, yummy. I like Chinese food’ 😂

In hospital at the age of 13, I kept saying "stop it" and my brother's name. The other patients (all adults) kept teasing me about my boyfriend.

I have told my dh,

'get the fucking elephant out of the room'

'I will have a pina colada'

'when is this bloody boat going to sink'

'get packing, we need to leave NOW'

My partner sleeps naked-one night I was woken up to crashing and banging
It was him,grabbing the curtains,wanging his Willy about and screaming ‘it’s on fire!phone 999!’
I checked to see if anything was on fire outside-there wasn’t,so I got back into bed and told him to do the same
‘Fine!let the bastards burn then!’ And got back into bed

Another time he went on a full on rant about Eddie the elf-I had to listen to a good ten minute rant about how he hates ‘the sad little fuckers face’ and ‘his smug pointy hat’
I think Christmas had finally got to him

He has been known to shout ‘choo choo!’ Like a train
Bit unnerving when your asleep and wake up to it

DS - about 4 - Don't let the chickens get me

DH - booming, theatrical voice, sits up in bed with sweeping arm gesture 'And off! Into obscurity!' .

Also DH - 'wheeeeeeeeeee'

I laugh in my sleep sometimes. Apparently its a proper possessed-by-a-demon, maniacal laugh Grin I've woken up to numerous bed partners over the years staring at me wide eyed and terrified Confused

This made me laugh. Has he been able to live it down?

Never mind talking, my partner flails her arms sometimes and gives me a healthy whack !!! I've asked her about her dreams on waking and she (claims at least) not to remember a thing :)

I've not sustained any serious injuries (she is rather petite) and have got used to it, but at first is was a bit unnerving !

My brother when we were kids. He'd be about ten.
We'd been to the Zoo the day before and he'd been fascinated by the bat cave.

That night he sleepwalked into my room, turned the light on.
I woke up and saw him there staring at me, but seeming not to "see" me.
I screamed.
He continued to stand there and said in a robotic voice, "I'm a fruit bat! I eat fruit! When are you going to clean me up?"

thereisonlyoneofme · 24/03/2022 13:01

My OH woke me up regularly quoting numbers, and once saying "beetroot"! I asked him what he was talking about (he would answer me in his sleep) and he said "beetroot, for rubbing on the machines "
Never got to the bottom of that one

DelurkingAJ · 24/03/2022 13:20

I apparently shook DH awake one night to inform him that the light bulb in the alarm clock needed to be changed. That was one of my more surreal efforts but over the years there have been many. I both sleepwalk and sleep talk.

Clawdy · 24/03/2022 13:39

I woke to see DH staring through the window. I said "What's the matter, what have you seen? " He said " This train hasn't moved for ages!"

RomeoOscarXrayIndigoEcho · 24/03/2022 13:40

I said something about a tiny dog in a toga behind the fridge...

Nope. Haven't a clue what that was about.

Not long ago I heard someone say my name in a very sinister or needing help way. DH wasn't there, he was in the bathroom. So I ran through to see if it was him and if he needed help.

Then I realised it was quite sinister. DH is convinced I woke myself up snoring.

It was definitely my name being said. Terrifying really.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 24/03/2022 13:44

I once woke up now DH telling him the baby was crying and it was his turn to feed them.
Were were 20&22, only together a few months and definitely not thinking about kids at that point. I'm amazed he didn't run a mile!

DD used to sleepwalk and we would find her in strange places. We once found her in the 'library' (alcove where her bookcase was) leafing through her books in the pitch black, surrounded by piles of them.

I've had this a few times. I think I dream so "loudly" my brain wakes me up, convinced it heard something!

Apparently I once asked DP "who is that lady in the corner?" I don't think he slept that night 😂
I'm terrible for talking in my sleep, he has full conversations with me.

MedusasBadHairDay · 24/03/2022 16:19

When I was a kid we were having a sleepover and one of my friends started doing Mystic Meg impressions in her sleep.

LaMarschallin · 24/03/2022 16:29

DH woke up to me pawing at his nose one night. When he asked what I was doing, I explained that I was just trying to fold his face... 🤷‍♀️

SpringLobelia · 24/03/2022 16:32

I once apparently pushed DH in my sleep and shouted 'And I'm not impressed with you either!'.
