Aibu to be upset that partner last night , like most nights was sleep talking and at one stage said ...' Sister , Mmmm..' in what I thought was a sexual way or at least admiring way .
He often talks mnonsense, sometimes about work , but this was the first time he said something like that.
I've no reason to distrust him.

YABU, the poor bloke was asleep!

My DP regularly talks clearly in his sleep, I often note down what he says in my phone so I can tell/tease him in the morning.

Most of it seems to be random, maybe a bit about work or the DCs but there was a one night when he said suggestively 'mmmm, shake your ass at me'.
He would never speak like that in RL and was mortified, I still find it hilarious Grin

I overheard an. ex sleep talking "but I've only got ONE chainsaw!"....

....unfortunately he also sleepwalked and was standing stark bollock naked on the landing outside my bedroom. My flatmate who met him - on the way to the bathroom - was a bit shocked.

My DH does this occasionally. The other day he was mumbling about "the Patricias." I reckon I should be extra worried if there's more than one of them! Don't stress about it OP, especially when your example is so cryptic. Just remember how bonkers dreams can be!

sunflowersandbuttercups · 27/03/2021 17:16

He was asleep! I dream about all sorts of random shit - it has nothing to do with my feelings in reality.

EllsBells01 · 27/03/2021 17:19

Could have been Sister as in Sister in the hood American way etc not blood relative way...

Muddledupme · 27/03/2021 17:20

I'm a sleep talker and said "pick that up I'm not your slave" followed by "do it, it's not going to do itself" I have no recollection.

purplecorkheart · 27/03/2021 17:24

He could be dreaming that a friend is introducing their "sister" to him while they are having an affair. Must likely randome crap. The last time my Mom and I shared a hotel room she recorded me talking about dating a pencil in my sleep. An hb pencil to be exact, i explicitly state that a number of times. I can assure you I have never dated a pencil. I shared a room with a friend another time and announced that I hated mushrooms and I love them.

Yabu, my husband sleep talks and responds 🙃
You can't be angry at him for something he has no control over.

ChiefBabySniffer · 27/03/2021 18:37

I also sleep talk all the time, it gets much worse when I'm under a lot of stress. Apparently most of my Sleep talking is related to chickens. Hiding in the corner, nesting under the bed, pecking at the windows. Chicken bouquets too. I have also been known to sleep walk and once woke my husband as I was singing private dancer and shimmying around the bedroom. This is 100% NOT something i would do awake , even in my own and absolutely mortified me when he told me. I refused to believe him but he had done a voice memo of me , I was off tune sand mumbling at parts and then I heard him trying to entice me back to bed by offering me money for the dance 😬😂

SchrodingersImmigrant · 27/03/2021 18:49

These are amazong🙈 sorry for laughing.

Have you seen the video of the woman who recorded herself sleepwalking? It's absolutely amazing what sleeping brain comes up with. She mentions it's set of by certain foods. She has a good laugh about it as well (bar first part)

The pets watching her are hilarious 🙈

SchrodingersImmigrant · 27/03/2021 18:49

@ChiefBabySniffer did you keep the money? 🙈

ChiefBabySniffer · 27/03/2021 19:01

@SchrodingersImmigrant

No. But now every time Tina Turner comes on the radio he does this weird cow girl dance like with a a lasso over his head? apparently trying to replicate what I was doing. It's been a long time for me to get over it but I can laugh about it now.

SchrodingersImmigrant · 27/03/2021 19:08

😂😂😂 sorry @ChiefBabySniffer

Peachee · 27/03/2021 19:40

I don’t think you can analyse a dream and who it was supposed to be about I often dream bizarre things that are just complete fantasy. E.g a loving dog with my sisters head or a door in my house leading to willy wonders chocolate factory.. I often have strange dreams about feelings and emotions that don’t make sense aswell. It’s just subconscious mush when we dream. Don’t dwell. Move on and laugh about it.

loveoverflowing · 27/03/2021 21:17

Gosh this thread has made me feel silly but so much better 😂

I've asked DH who he was in my sleep.

I've also said very inappropriate things to friends, and once my mother, when sharing a bed with them 🤦🏻‍♀️

Called my cat a racist the other morning too apparently.

ButIcantsitonleather · 27/03/2021 21:26

Ok I really got the wrong end of the stick. I thought you meant he said his sister’s name and then did the weird sex ‘mmm’ ShockShockShock

Very glad to realise I read it wrong.

And that I don’t need to be agog at posters telling you to leave him to enjoy his dreams.

TurquoiseDragon · 27/03/2021 22:01

My ex was a childhood sleepwalker, but by the time I moved in with him, the sleepwalking had stopped. Many years later, I woke up in the night and heard him singing/mumbling Happy Birthday, but I couldn't hear who's name it was. I really wish I'd recorded it, I had to get up and go out the room because I was making the bed shake from laughing so hard into my pillow.

I told him about it the next day, but he got all affronted and denied it had happened.

Our DS turned out to be a sleepwaler/talker, too. He's 17 now and seems to have grown out of it. It was weird watching him sleepwalk. To people that didn't know DS, he could appear as if he were awake and doing something or walking purposefully, but I cottoned on to a certain look to his face that told me he was asleep and in a dream. If you tried talking to him he got confused, because what you said didn't match the action in his dream, so we just led him back to bed.

On one occasion, he woke us all up by shouting "it's SOOOO not fair", and another time I caught him going to the bathroom dragging his quilt. He pulled his PJs down to pee, but he was facing the wrong way and about to pee on the quilt. I've never moved so fast to grab him and turn him to face the toilet. Accident averted! Grin

Curlygirl06 · 27/03/2021 22:48

I once shook my dh awake, demanding the name of his doctor. Then I demanded their phone number. Then I laid back down and can't remember a thing. He slept with one eye open for the rest of the night. Lol.

Caramelsmadfuzzytail · 27/03/2021 22:50

Maybe he was in his own personal carry on film?

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 27/03/2021 22:52

If I get shaken awake and asked if I've got my passport ready, told to switch off my phone and put my property in the locker up [there] one more time, I will be forced to kill DP. He's already on borrowed time after the Intruder in the Bedroom Dream Incident and a number of nights where I've been walloped or kicked because he's flailing around like an electrocuted spider.

Anyhow, talking in his sleep? Forget it. For me, it's my cue to decamp to the spare room - bollocks to policing what he's dreaming about.

I really wish mine only did the Carry On films nonsense.

CoalCraft · 27/03/2021 22:53

Maybe he dreamt that his sister made a plate of delicious food.

Honestly it really doesn't matter what he was dreaming. I've dreamed all sorts of weird crap and not actually done not wanted to do any of it.

Ontheboardwalk · 27/03/2021 22:57

One and only time I used a sleep app I shouted 'Roy's rolls, yes (spelling out each letter) roys rolls' never again used the app

I had an ex who had night terrors so learnt to hold the duvet tight when he went on a terror adventure
