    My husband is so cooperative, if he talks in his sleep, he always starts out speaking his native language, so I say “honey, I can’t understand you” and he always switches to English even though he’s asleep.

    How considerate of him ejcapulet! Elly should be glad Jon wasn’t listening, maybe she was talking about one of her old boyfriends. You’re not really in control of what you’re saying in your sleep.

    Uh, Elly snored? I never knew she snored. If John could not stand Elly snoring, he would be cramped on the same couch that he slept on while Elly and the kids were sick with the flu.

    Eons ago, when I still had kids in high school, they would come home late from the games, and I would be asleep and still tell them who had phoned them. I never remember doing it.

    One time my brother came home late and while fast asleep,I said what amounted to be an opening chess move. He got out the board, and called his first move, and I followed with logical moves 3 times without waking up.

    My sister and I shared a room next to our parents while growing up, and they would hear us talking in our sleep to each other.

    I had a college roommate that once narrated his entire dream while fast asleep. We woke him up when he began to shout. He wouldn’t believe us when we told him even though I wrote down what he had said.
