Anyone have seen a family member do funny this in their sleep?

My 8 year old DD sleeps with her eyes open. My 6 year old DD has conversations in her sleep- just her, no one else...but she changes the tone of her voice and has a 2 person conversation.
 
In the sleepless early days of parenthood, DH found me in the middle of one night getting very frustrated that my pillow would not latch on and breastfeed.

Growing up, my brother would sleepwalk to the bathroom. Only he could never find it in his sleep. He's been found peeing in various places around the house- into a flip up hamper, a laundry basket, a closet, the middle of his sister's (mine!) bedroom floor (I believed for a long time that it rained in my room that night because I could hear it and woke up and the floor was all wet), and the funniest was when he ripped off the clear plastic you put over windows in the winter, threw up the window and was peeing thru the screen out into below 0 winter temperatures. All sound asleep and no memory of it in the morning.


That is too strange, my brother did the exact same thing when we were little! One night I was doing homework at the kitchen table and he walked in, sound asleep, took the top off the trash barrel and peed right into it! Then another night, I was watching a movie in the living room and he walked in, ejected the video, threw it away and walked out.
 
My DD8 doesn't do too many weird things while she sleeps, but when she was 5, I had gone in to check on her before I went to bed.

All of a sudden, my sleeping, angelic-faced girl opens her eyes, then glares at me and lets out a gutteral growl. Made me jump backwards!

I asked her the next morning if she'd remembered me coming into her room ... no. So, I asked her if she had any strange dreams ... yep, I remember I was running through the jungle and I got cornered by a lion, so I growled at him. :rotfl:
 
These are hilarious! :rotfl:

I guess I'm pretty lucky with DH. When he falls asleep, he's out for the count and pretty much doesn't move for the rest of the night. We only had one incident in our years of being together than I could have KILLED him for. One night he woke me up out of a sound sleep with his hands on my shoulder and his face right up close to mine. His eyes were wide open and he said, "You need to know!"

Well, that woke me up the rest of the way and I said, as gently as I could, "What (hubby's name)? What do I need to know?"

He said again, even more forcefully and urgently "YOU NEED TO KNOW!!!"

And he's freaking me out now. I'm wide awake thinking OMG, something's happened or there's something he hasn't told me and now feels so guilty that he can't stop from telling me and it's going to be horrible and I'd better brace myself. Maybe he killed someone in the line of duty and never told anyone and now he's telling me. OMG OMG OMG! OK, just relax and deal, relax and deal. Breathe. We'll get through this.

So I repeated, as calmly and as gently possible, "Yes (hubby's name), I'm listening. What do I need to know??"

And he said, "The grubs from Franklin's aren't fresh. You have to go to Jimmies."

Then the damn fool let go of me, rolled over and fell back to sleep :mad::mad::mad: while I laid there wondering what the heck all THAT was about and trying to calm down.

When we woke up that morning, I asked him what the heck that was all about and he didn't remember. He said he thought he remembered dreaming something about fishing :headache: but couldn't really recall and told me I should have woken him up and made him remember where this "jimmies" place was so he could go there for bait next time.

He got a pillow in the face for that remark.

Fortunately (for both of us) that hasn't happened again and DH sleeps like the dead now. :laughing:
