Have you or has anyone you know sleepwalked, sleep talked, or presented other strange behaviours of various kinds?
I am convinced that I'm sleep talking, but not in the typical sense. They say that sleep talking occurs in the NREM phase, but you dream during REM sleep, right? Well what I remember is waking up extremely briefly (like twenty seconds maybe) and replying to somebody in a dream quite coherently, then immediately falling back to sleep again and continuing my dream seamlessly. I am sure this happens because I recall briefly seeing my room when I speak these words. During dreams my room always looks different in some way, but when I see my room during these talking phases, everything is as it should be, I see my cat sleeping, etc.
I bet he's bloody weirded out by my "sleep talking" though. Last night one of my several dreams was about meeting some old classmates, which isn't something I've ever been particularly interested in. They started asking me various questions, some odd. Then I started sleep talking (also strongly hearing my own voice) to reply to the question, followed by presumably falling back to sleep again and I'm back at that meeting as if nothing happened.
It's very surreal, I'll tell ya that much.
