Thread: Dreams Affecting Waking Life

Well, as boring as it may sound, it may have something to do with going to sleep without brushing your teeth. I know that whenever I go to sleep without brushing my teeth, in the morning I wake up with a yuk taste in my mouth. So... maybe these dreams are just your particular way of showing that... ???

Don't fall asleep on the couch.

There once was a man from Peru
who dreamed he was eating his shoe
He woke up in the night
with a terrible fright
to find that it was perfectly true!

Physically, you're probably just not going into full SP during these naps. I'm not sure what you can do about preventing yourself from sucking on any small object within your sleepy reach, though, except not take naps in the afternoon. I'm not sure how common acting out dreams is, but you're not alone. When I was kid, I used to sleepwalk and would occasionally act out my dreams. One night, I even locked myself in the bathroom, turned on the shower, and was about to climb inside fully clothed in my PJs before my parents managed to talk my sleepwalking self out. The next morning, all I remembered was a fairly vivid dream of taking a shower and having my annoyingly insistent parents interrupting my efforts by shouting and banging on the door. (And no, there's no video of that, either - thankfully.) So, at least you don't get soaked during your episodes

Good answers, guys... ha, ha!
No, I never thought of videotaping myself doing that. I think it would be disgusting though. I have been more careful not to fall asleep on the couch these days, and I think that has helped to stop this behavior.
I can't say I've ever gotten into the shower, but I have walked around the house, and I talk to people! I'm a terrible sleep talker, always have been. Mostly I don't make sense, so I've been told. Whew!
