For the last few nights Jacob has been waking up in the middle of the night and wandering the house. I wake up to him crying downstairs. The other night I put him back to bed and couldn't find his binky. I woke up Kevin to ask if he had it and he said "Ya it's right here," he held out his hand and dropped nothing into mine. I just laughed because he did a similar thing the next night, he was completely out of it! Do you sleepwalk? Do you talk in your sleep? I have a twin sister and they say we used to talk back and forth to each other in our sleep. Kevin told me he was dreaming once that he was on a plane bumping into people and woke up bumping into the back wall of his closet.

Oh! That is funny. Clint has accused me of talking in my sleep, but I don't believe him! :)
Karin sold me pineapples once in her sleep. She talks in her sleep all the time! Must run in the family huh?
Yes, I used to walk AND talk in my sleep.
It took me a while to figure out that it would happen when I was overly tired. So, I did it quite a bit at college and my roommates got quite a kick out of it.
One time I was teaching a preschool lesson to my curtains.
Another time I walked into the hallway and asked my roommate over and over again what color her toothbrush was.
In high school I was babysitting my cousins really late. My aunt took me home and I went straight to bed, but I woke up later, and didn't remember her bringing me home. I could see the time on my alarm clock, but I thought it was the alarm clock in my aunt and uncle's room, and that I had fallen asleep on their bed. So I was feeling along my walls for where the door should have been in THEIR bedroom and it wasn't there. I started pouding on the wall and finally woke up.
I could keep on going, but I think that's enough embarrassment for today.
Oh, and I should add that it runs in the family. When my dad was in high school, he played the sousaphone in band. One night he woke up and he was trying to "play" his lamp.
Scott talks in his sleep, but so do I. One morning he told me that he knew everything there is to know about my job cuz I described it to him in the middle of the night. I think it's better than snoring though.
I love your story and the comments! I'm pretty sure I talk in my sleep, but it's not that exciting. My dad however, does some pretty strange things in his sleep! Once my mom woke up to find books flying over her head and across the room. My dad was "holding up" the wall because he thought there was an earthquake. It turns out he was shaking their headboard so hard that everything was falling off it.
Andrew has night terrors and I think that's worse than sleepwalking. It's almost the same thing, except that he screams and sobs uncontrollably in his sleep. He never wakes up - no matter how much we try to talk to him and calm him down. We just have to wait for it to pass and hope he doesn't wake up Simon :)
How funny!! I woke up to myself yelling at the porcline dolls that (were) on a shelf really high in my room. I was dreaming that someone was breaking in (a BIG fear of mine)I was pointing at them and yelling through gritted teath "get out of here or I am going to get my gun!!!" This woke both Rob and I up and all we could do was laugh and laugh our heads off. I don't think we fell back to sleep after that we laughed so hard.
I did a few times when I was a kid. My sister caught me walking backwards toward the stairs one night--she steered me back to bed. Another time I woke up next to my sister. I was asking her why she was in my bed, until she pointed out that I was in hers. So yes, I did sleepwalk, but only temporarily.
