Asleep Conversation

by Anya

My cousin and I went on holiday together twice. Each time we slept in the same room. On our first holiday together I woke up one night, as my cousin asked me again and again what she should do now. She was standing in the middle of the room, asleep and waking up at about the same time as I did.

It was an awkward situation. Apparently we had talked with each other in our dreams and I had told her to go to the door - which she did. Sleepwalking.

On our second holiday a good friend of ours came with us. All three of us slept in the same room. One morning our friend told us that my cousin and I had had a real conversation that night while being asleep. We both could not remember a thing.

Funny story...

Kevin's Thoughts

Hey Anya,

Sleep talking conversations are pretty incredible phenomena, and even more so when both parties in the conversation are asleep and have no recollection of the events in the morning, as was the case on your second holiday. I bet for your friend that made for either a pretty hysterical night or a just plain odd experience, depending on what you and your cousin talked about during your slumber :-)

Interestingly, I actually just wrote another response yesterday to a separate visitor submitted story that was very similar in theme, albeit it was concerned with whether or not conversing with a sleep talker could be harmful. If you like, you can see that story here.

Thanks a bunch for sharing this!

Warmly,
Kevin
