So last night I was having trouble going to sleep when this conversation took place
Husband : "What is our order?"
Me: Our order?
Husband : Yeah
Me: What order? What the hell are you talking about?
Husband: You know our order
Me; No I really don't
Husband: As in sequence...
Me: Silent....Are you awake?
Husband: Yes
Well he was lying, he was still asleep. It was so weird because he was looking at me! But he was not awake. Then...
Husband: I'm Half and Half
Me: Like the milk?
Husband: No half asleep and half awake.
Me: Well go back to sleep
Husband: OK
and he does!!! Maybe I should have added some hypnotic suggestions.(In my best hypno voice) Like, you will suddenly discover you love cleaning toilets and tubs or your wife is so awesome she deserves weekly presents. It was really REALLY weird. He left this morning before I could ask if he remembered any of it. Does any of your husbands talk in their sleep? Can you carry on an actual conversation with them?
Sara, yeah at first I thought maybe he was still asleep, but then he rolled over and LOOKED at me! That's what really threw me off!
HOW FUNNY!!!! That's never happened to me with my husband...it happened with my best friend years ago...had a complete conversation with her.
Hope it happens again!!! :)
in our house, it's me that has sleep conversations. I get really mad when my husband wakes me up by responding, too. He thinks he's not in the wrong, since I was talking to him first, but usually it's about weird things (like your conversation!) so he should know I'm not really talking to him. :)
Over the past 15 years of togetherness, my husband & I have both done this to each other on occassion & it always sounds almost identical to what you said. Catching him on that cusp right between sleep & awake does always kind of make me think the same thing you did about the hynotic suggestions, ha!
I have with my kids. Just recently my 6yo fell asleep in my arms and started mumbling and i told him: Smile for me. And he did! Then he woke up and looked at me weird before snuggling up and going back to sleep. LOL.. its funny stuff.
Yep... but it's not always that clear. My husband talks in his sleep EVERY night.
Go to http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/, hilarious!
The kids will do something like that occasionally. The just laugh and giggle then mumble on and on about some thing. It is just so funny.
Tehehe, thanks for the giggle! Great story.
:)
Great conversation! I'm actually the one who sleep talks... My husband says he carries on conversations with me just to see what I come up with. :) He also says he tells me everything I talk about, but who knows! Hopefully I'm not giving away any deep dark secrets ;)
Too funny! My husband does not talk in his sleep but he will burst out laughing sometimes. It's hilarious and he doesn't believe me when I tell him he does it. I told him I was going to tape him some night ;)
My husband does not talk in his sleep. But I ABSOLUTELY love you hypnotic suggestions. You gave me a laugh today I truly needed! Thanks.
Hahaha!! I do this all the time. My husband tells me about our conversation in the morning. He says I definitely entertain him when I do this and he just plays along and eventually I peter out and go back to sleep :)
