Have you ever yelled in your sleep?

[Bertha Venation]

I yelled in my sleep the other night. Mrs. V. had to wake me up. I remember the dream: two men were on our deck, talking, right outside our bedroom window, in the middle of the night. In the dream, I yelled at the top of my lungs, "GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY GO AWAY . . . " I guess that's what I yelled out in my sleep.

You?

2. Not myself, but hubby does when stress is running high at work.

He's had conversations about work in his sleep. My favorite quote from a sleep talking bout is "The pink elephant on the mailbox does not do it alone." Don't know what it means, but I can make our family laugh at any moment just by uttering that phrase now.

I've also had the experience of awakening to him:

1) hanging a plywood panel over a doorway (decked out in jammies and tool belt, said there was too much light coming in)
2) putting his hand through a glass window (you wake up really quick when you hear breaking glass at the foot of your bed)
3) pulling the covers up over my head and sprawling on top of me to "hide me" (THAT was scary - he whispered "Shhh, they're walking past. Stay down." - our bedroom was on the 2nd floor)

Needless to say, over the years I have become a VERY light sleeper. After those incidents, if a fly so much as farts on the far side of the bedroom, I'm awake!

It's the reason once we had kids, that I do not go away overnight and leave him take care of them. Both kids have had bouts with sleepwalking.

3. Almost

I don't yell in my sleep, but when unreasonable demands are made on me, I DO tend to yell, "IN YOUR DREAMS!!"

Close, right?

5. Many times...

And Paul was there to hold and comfort me each time. I'm prone to some pretty bad nightmares from time to time.

6. Once. Dreamt lightning struck our house and electrocuted me as I grabbed the doorknob to escape

I was 12 or 13. I yelled out Aaaaaagggggghhhhhhh!!! to hear everybody I woke up in the house tell it.

Never had a nightmare like that before, or since but to this day I'm still terrified of lightning or fire in the home.

8. I scream ...

Occasional nightmare that someone is chasing me, or trying to harm to me, and I will wake up screaming (or trying to scream).
My mom used to do the same thing.

I'm sure the neighbors love it.

9. Only when touched in a certain spot.
