I don’t sleep walk anymore, but I used to do it a lot. I still talk in my sleep some.
My experience is a little different. I know that I’m doing it, but I’m doing it as a continuation of my dream. Hard to explain, but here’s the most common one I used to have:
I’m a lawyer, and I had dreams that I had a hearing and court would be held in my bedroom or living room in about 10 minutes. I’d get up, put on my suit and get ready for court. By time I got my shirt on, I’d wake up, realize WTF is going on, and go back to sleep.
Now, I don’t walk anymore, but I’ll talk some. Sort of same thing, I’ll be in a dream about whatever. I’ll turn to my wife and continue the conversation I was having in my dream. Makes sense to me, but she has no clue. She says I’m pretty coherent too.
It’s really weird to do/say something that makes sense when you’re doing it, only to come too and realize your a dumb-@ss sleep waking/talking
