Sleep talking / shouting

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Sleeptalking : One Thread

Hi,

I often go through these periods of 2 or 3 days where I sleeptalk / shout alot but it may not happen for a few weeks after that. It is as if I am having a dream and I am acting out the dream in real life and this is causing problems between my partner and I as I tend to shout and wake her up to tell me her to move out of the way or something !!!! please help

Dear Derek, Iam also currently experiencing the same kind of sleep disorder as well. Its been happening to me more often lately, to the point that my spouse has even suggested I seek help . Whats really freightenig is when I act out a dream and either carry a conversation or let out a scream at the same time. there are times when I recall the dream but Id say 95% of the time ,I have no recollection. the last time this occured I also began to act out what i was dreaming and felt as though my heart was beating at an accelerated rate way beyond the norm.
