Thread: Helping a partner attain lucidity

Here's something I've come across a number of time with my girlfriend. She can drift in and out of sleep quicker than anyone I've ever known, and as a result she sleep-talks a lot.

I can interact with her while she's sleep-talking. If I go along with what she's saying, she'll talk to me in the context of her dream for awhile and then fade off to silence. But if I talk to her and tell her she's sleep-talking, she'll initially get annoyed and deny she's sleep-talking, and if I press her on it, she accept that she's sleep-talking to me and thus attain lucidity. She'll soon drift off from me and no longer talk, but she reports that the ludidity continues in her dream.

Anybody have anything similar?

I apparently talk in my sleep, but nothing intelligible unfortunately. Thats a pretty cool trick to have though. Your GF is lucky

Very interesting. I've heard of this before and seen a thread on it too! I believe Tornado Joe had the same experience on here. It'll be interesting to see what she remembers in the morning from the dream too.

haha next time my mom sleep talks i'll talk to her and tell her to remember your dream and tell her that she is in a dream.

my friend says i have talked to him before while i was sleeping, but I dont actually remember doing it...and i didnt gain lucidity or anything.

oh yeah, I just now remembered my friend telling me I talked to him. I can't remember exactly what I said but I know it was something that actually made sense.
