Things that go bump in the night

Does anyone here sleepwalk/talk? I'm terrible for it :? When I was younger I used to sleepwalk all the time, sometimes even managing to unlock the front door and get out onto the street before my mum realised.

Nowadays I get these things where I wake up, see something in my room (like dark shapes and stuff flying at me) and get really scared and flick the light on. That's when I actually wake up - stood at the door with my finger on the lightswitch. It's different from sleepwalking cause I can remember it.

Last time I had them was on my 17th birthday - the first time I'd ever had them outside of my own room. I saw a metal bug crawling along the floor so I got out to look at it. I stayed there for a while crouched down looking at it moving before going to the loo and going back to bed. In the morning my mum was like "Wtf were you doing last night?". My brother slept talked that trip as well - he said "O'rate son" and went back to sleep :lol:

On tuesday night I popped my retainers in (I wear them every 3 days to keep my teeth from moving) and I had a dream that when I took my retainers out my teeth would come out with them. I woke up the next day and realized I wasn't wearing my retainers :? I must've taken them out in my sleep but because I was sleeping I can't remember what time it was so I'm having to wear them a day early o_O

I think I go through phases of stuff like this.

Anyone else have strange sleeping experiences?

Stop eating cheese before bedtime.

Nah all i get are dreams.

I always wake up, look at the clock at like 12:00, and think it is the afternoon. I go downstairs turn on all the lights, take a leak, and go back to bed. I remember everything but I can't control myself

I've never sleep walked, but I woke up crying once... must've been a sad dream. :P

about a year ago i got up in the middle of the night and told my wife i needed to use the bathroom but i couldnt go in the bathroom, so i went in the livingroom, grabbed a tv tray, went outside on the balcony and set up the tv tray then peed off the balcony then took the tv tray back inside and got back in bed.crazboy84

I always miss lessons because I don't wake with the alarm

You need to set multiple alarms. And make sure that one of them cannot be reached without getting out of bed.megagene

I sleep walk! My bro says that my eyes are huge when i am, and one time, when i was sleepwalking, i actually walked downstairs, grabbed the recliner, and drageed it outside and just slept outside until i woke up to my dad yelling in my face8)

yeah I think what you are describing is called Sleep Paralysis. Many people have stated they have seen ghosts or spirits due to it. (Which of course isn't true)

i use to sleep walk when i was younger, i would just walk about the house, half asleep and mumbling incoherently, but not anymore.

I used to sleep walk and sleep talk as a kid. Nowadays I just have dreams that I can never remember. Ever.

I never have gone sleepwalking. I have a few weird dreams though. Once, I dreamt that I lived in a cottage up on a huge mountain, that only had one room. It had a bath that had a bed in it, there were loads of crabs all over the floor, and there was sick in the fire place.

Yeah, sleeping is scary.

One time I woke up realizing that I had been brushing my teeth with my razor. Needless to say gums were all cut up...

Are you serious??? wow i don't have any serious sleeping problems, but some nights when I'm laying in bed but can't fall asleep, I'll be sort of half sleeping, and then I'll suddenly jump and be fully awake again.adv_tr00per

When I was little I slept walked into my parents room and peed on the floor :lol:

This thread goes bump in the night

Well, I suffer from sleep paralysis every now and then. It's pretty much the most terrifying experience imaginable. :)megagene

My dreams eat me alive. They take away my ability to breath, to see, and to reason. I die often!! lol

I think I've only sleep-walked once. I feel alseep in my bed, and woke up in my mom's car. She didn't even realize until she was backing out of the drive-way on her way to to work and luckily noticed me or else I might have been very late to school!

I used to sleep talk a bunch apparantly. I would say just jibberish though, and I could never remember my dreams from the nights when I apparantly was talking in my sleep.

Yeah, I used to sleep walk A LOT. I have heaps of scary stories about it, too.
Once, I walked to the bathroom and just stared at myself in the mirror with a really angry face on, for about 5 minutes before my older sister found me.
Another time, I walked into my sister's room and sat on the ground watching her sleep with my eyes open really wide.
Yeah... I'm kind of possessed.

I sometimes walk around while everyone else is asleep. Does that count? :P

I lucid dream, but whatever I dream about saying, I actually say.

When I found out, I was dreaming of a rape fantasy (no, I would NEVER actually rape someone, but most people have rape fantasies), and it was Yr 6 camp. I was 11. My friend heard what I was saying... Yeah, he bagged me about it for the rest of the year! :D

EDIT: I don't have rape fantasies anymore, I was just very young and curious. :)

I used to sleepwalk all the time. I never got out of the house or anything like that but it was a pretty regular occurrence.

As far as sleeptalking, yeah, I've done that too. A couple of years ago, my parents told me that I was laughing in my sleep the previous night. For the life of me, I can't recall doing it but apparently, it was pretty freaky. Like I was possessed or something.

That happens to me so much its unreal...seeker512

We did a lot about sleep in psychology and apparently it's really common to trip or something in sleep and jolt awake in the first stage of sleep.

And I wanna know what sleep paralysis feels like as well...I've never had it.

Lucid dreams are another thing I've never had - my mate Josh used to have them all the time and I was right jealous :|

Apparently if during the day you say "What time is it?" and check the clock, then check again it'll obviously be the same time. Keep doing this and eventually you might do it in your sleep but the clock time will be different the second time you look at it and you'll realise you're dreaming and have control. When I learnt about that I had a dream that night and I realised I was dreaming so I tried controlling it...and it didn't work :( So I dreamt I knew I was dreaming...

you... wimper? ..THAT'S ADORABLE! :oDeihjan

Seconded :oops: :)
