Things Said While Half-Asleep

I, like 10,000 other people (literally), am obsessed with the blog Sleep Talkin' Man. If you haven't heard of it, it's basically a woman who records her husband as he sleep talks every night and then she blogs about what he says. It's almost always really obscene and ridiculous insults, which makes me think he actually hates his wife.

But ANYWAYS, I have decided to do my own little version and list a few weird things that either my boyfriend or I have said while half-asleep. Here goes:

Boyfriend: "But what about the baggage people?" This was said in the middle of a conversation we were having. The conversation had absolutely nothing to do with baggage, travel, airports, etc. After he said it, he immediately was like, "where the hell did that come from?"


Me: I dreamt last night that I was a police officer and Robin Williams was a killer and he was on the loose and he had a gun that emitted a sound that would make people's organs fail and I stole the gun but he got it back and I knew to cover my ears but nobody else did and he shot the gun and I survived but everyone else died. Yes, all one sentence. All said in a perfectly peaceful manner.

Me: Can you move your leg?
Boyfriend: (moves leg) Can you still see?
Me: What??
Boyfriend: I just wanted to make sure you could still see.
Um, we were sleeping. When you sleep, your eyes are closed. There was nothing to see.

Boyfriend: I love you, Amanda. (name has been changed to protect the innocent)
Now this one would be lovely...if my name was Amanda. But it's not. It's Kathryn. Amanda is his ex-girlfriend. As you would imagine, I flipped my shit.

Me: Isn't there an 80's song called "The Politics of Dancing?"
I don't remember saying this at all. I have no idea why this thought popped into my weird half-asleep head. And, yes, there is an 80's song called "The Politics of Dancing." And it's INCREDIBLE.

On a completely unrelated note, I have a few things that are coming up soon that I'm totally looking forward to. Here they are:

1. My 24th birthday on Tuesday!
2. My awesome, geeked-out bowling birthday party tomorrow night.
3. Getting presents :)
4. Getting my first facial next week.
5. Seeing HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS on April 16th! The tickets just came in the mail!
6. Getting lots of fun government money in the mail sometime soon.
That's all for this assortment of randomness. See y'all soon!

It is always interesting to hear what people say when they are asleep. One time I told my boyfriend it was okay if he changed the channel on the tv. I was completely asleep.

I once told my husband that I was "going to kill someone", and of course he prodded and asked "who"....and I guess (I don't remember...) But I answered right away "My husband"....he's a little freaked out now...

THIS is such a good idea to blog about! I've never seen the other blog but I shall be visiting now!!! And of course starting my own blog post about this! I have tons more!!

Some very funny sleep lines there chum, from both you and your other half (though I can totally relate to the blurting out the wrong name in your sleep thing. I'm terrified I will do that one day and get killed)

Have a great day on Tuesday matey, hope you get spoilt rotten as you deserve it.

I talk in my sleep all the time. When I first say Sleep Talking Man, I was like "shit! why didn't I think of that?!". Hope your bowling party is super fun and your Tuesday birthday as well!

Sleep Talking' Man is absolutely hilarious! The human brain is so deranged. By the way, he also hates vegetarians (did you read that one).

So did you record yourselves to get your conversations/remarks?

Happy (early) Birthday!

I love listening to my Sexy Nerd talk in his sleep and making fun of him the next day. It's especially fun when he responds to my comments while talking in his sleep.

Sleep talking is one of the joys of marriage! Thanks for the link :)

First off, Happy birthday!

Second, the worst thing about talking in your sleep is that moment after you've said it that you begin to wake up and you realize you are talking gibberish and that your significant other now has something else to tease you about. My sleep talking is accompanied by hallucinations so thats always entertaining.

I could do a post called "Things I Say When I'm Drunk" and it would go very much like this. Ha.

The only "sleeptalking" I ever did was one evening a girlfriend and I went camping. Mosquitoes were biting at us something terrible and she said something about them and I was sleepily itching at my bitten knuckles and replied "365 on my knuckles," and passed out. It was so random and weird.

Oh and then during my labor. But that's a WHOLE different matter.

He said an ex's name? I would have killed him.

I still sort of want to kill him.

Anyway....
