People Share The Weirdest Things Sleep-Talkers Have Said To Them

Everyone makes noises in their sleep sometimes. A grunt here, a groan there, the shuffling sound that comes from moving around—no one can escape it. Those innocent and normal sounds are just the beginning for some people, who are blessed and cursed with talking in their sleep.

Sadly for these people, they don't really remember what they say, but luckily, there are other people around sometimes to catch what they're saying.

No, Not The Tinfoil!

That started out creepy, but when he got into the bit about tinfoil it became pretty clear there wasn't much to worry about...unless they came down later and there was no tinfoil left in the house at all.

This is one of those things that make you wonder what was going on in their dream that caused this conversation, but also, do you really want to know? It could go either way.

What are these rocks and where are they hiding? Oh wait, they're nowhere, she just wanted her man to talk with her. I guess she wasn't getting enough attention in her sleep.

In a roundabout way, I think that this is weirdly really wholesome. In his mind, she was a beautiful baby deer frolicking in the grass, just wanting to have snacks.

It's so weird the way that your brain still sort of works when you're sleeping. Like, he knew there was something delicious and lemony around, he just didn't realize it was his wife's fingers.

The postal code thing is kind of weird. It almost seems as though he secretly resents his job? However, this is nothing wrong with calling the dog to come up for snuggles.

He should start recording all the things he sings in his sleep and see if there is some kind of coherent storyline there that he could potentially turn into a show or an album.

Would you be offended or flattered if your spouse was petting your leg thinking that it was a baby penguin? How hairy are this person's legs that they feel like a fluffy penguin?

Sometimes you have really fun dreams where you get to guest star in some of your favorite stories, but then that does mean that the stress of the harrowing scenes becomes that much more intense.

I'm not sure what is more concerning. The fact that your wife is seeing alligators in your room, or that she's seeing the same alligator in your room. I guess it's pretty much the same problem.

I'm not an expert, but I have a feeling that the "studying while she's sleeping" that she's talking about is just "being stressed out about the upcoming test" and it never leaving her mind.

I'm not sure what anyone would want to do in a land of punch buggies, even if it was a dreamland. Maybe she just wanted a reason to punch her husband.

Maybe the person he is while he's sleeping really does like pecan pie, even if he doesn't realize it. Either way, he put the pie away and cleaned up after himself.

He's calling for the salt! Get the man some salt! Maybe he's fighting off some kind of giant snail, or maybe he is afraid that he's going to have some bad luck if he doesn't throw some over his shoulder.

Maybe he went into his father's room to pee in his shoes because he was bitter that his dad spent so much time at work. There had to be something deeply psychological at play there.
