My husband is a prophet when he talks in his sleep!

When my husband and I were first married, we got to learn some very interesting things about the sleeping habits of one another. First of all, there was the elbow in the face incident. My husband who was obviously used to sleeping alone before we were married, smacked me in the face with his elbow while he was asleep one night! I woke him up! Me (indignantly): "You hit me in the head!" Him (mumbling incoherently): "Huh?" Me (extremely indignantly): " You HIT ME IN THE HEAD!" Him: " Oh." Me: "WEEEEELLLLLLL?" Him: "Oh, .........I'm sorry." To which he rolled over and began to snore!
I also discovered that he is quite a "sleep talker". My first clue to this intriguing ability was when I was just about to doze off one night and he says "Most of those movies are based on TV shows you know!" Me: " Huh? What? Were we talking about movies or something?" Him: "mumble...mumble.....snort, snort" To which he rolled over (see a pattern here?) and began to snore.
He had no recollection of this the next day! I laughed and laughed at what he said. If I saw a movie trailer on TV, I'd lean over and say "Hey, honey, did you know that most of those movies are based on TV shows?" We both got a kick out of it! It had become one of those ongoing inside jokes.
Now we have been married 18 years and my husband loves to say that movies now REALLY ARE BASED ON TV SHOWS! He considers himself to be a prophet!

Oh wow you just have a very funny and loving relationship. I guess you're being patient with him just works for you both to survive being able to tolerate each others habit. Most of marriages can make this issue about sleeping habits a major problem in their problems. But I guess this habits come along and usually is not discussed until one is sharing the bed already. Seldom it is discussed real during the courtship period even on engagement period too. So I guess this is just one of those that you will realized when you're already into it. I guess with your patience and love for you husband is the one that really is working and goodluck on you there.

Thank you! We have worked things out quite well over the years (a king-sized bed doesn't hurt matters either!) He rarely talks in his sleep anymore and BLAST IT! it is really never that interesting anymore (it tends to be about work at the office etc. - nothing prophetic!). We know our territory on the mattress now therefore I am no longer in fear of "the elbow"!

My husband yaps in his sleep to, along with works in his sleep! He makes arm motions as they he is at work, like pulling wood or working the levers on the loader or the other machines he works in! It is funny as long as I dont get hit! Luckily that only happened once!
When he talks you can normally make out what he is saying and it is normally as thou as he is at work talking, guess it goes with all the motions!

I find this really interesting and funny. My husband also talks in his sleep sometimes especially when he is stressed out. Sometimes he wakes me up with his mumblings and that's when the fun part begins. When he starts talking, I would respond to him as if he was awake. LOL The following day, he can't even recall what he said to me.

You can say that again. One time he started mumbling in his sleep and i asked him if he would buy me some diamonds the next day. He "okay honey will go first thing tomorrow." The next day I asked him to get dressed because we are going to the jewelry shop because he promised to buy me some diamonds. You can just imagine the look on his face! LOL

I don't know about prophecies or anything but...when I was with this youth group to TN this one girl was a sleep and she said " monkeys don't eat bananas, monkeys do to eat ROCKS!" And then she started counting monkeys eating rocks...it was disturbing, funny, and hilarious at the same time.

it is almost as bad as when people say " snakes aren't harmless, they wont bite you/strangle you, you just have to give them their privacy. "

Hahaha funny! My husband is not a sleep talker but I do! I haven't done this recently but when I was in grade school or elementary I always talk in my sleep and even hit my mom sometimes with my leg. I even woke up some time when my Mom throwed my leg away from her.
It's nice to joke about silly things we do during our sleep. Hehe. Thanks for sharing!

That is hilarious! How fun! See proved him right! I have two brothers who both talked in their sleep. Their rooms were adjacent to each other and sometimes they would have entire conversations in their sleep and neither remembered it if woken up or asked about it the next morning. My younger brother, if you spoke quietly and asked simple questions, would talk to you in his sleep, too. I have always found this fascinating... and thank God I don't do it!! Yikes!

My husband talks in his sleep, too. But it's only one or two words, and only if he is really stressed. But he never believes me as he of course has no recollection of it. That was until we caught our oldest talking in her sleep. She is having entire conversations at times. Of course she doesn't remember a thing. But it also occurs when she has some sort of problem, something she worries about. Now my husband at least halfway believes that he might sleeptalk, too, lol.

Our daughter sleep walks and talks a lot. In fact you could set your watch by it every night for about 5 years! She is 10 now and it is only occasionally that she will do it now. It will happen now if she gets to bed at an odd time or if she is like your daughter and under stress.
Thanks:) This has been an interesting and humorous discussion for me!

Since his prophesy, there has been Beverly hillbillies movie, brady movie, starsky and hutch, mission impossible, dukes of hazzard, get smart, addams family, Simpsons movie, dragnet, popeye, scooby doo, Mr. Bean, the jetsons, batman, charlies angels, star trek , transformers, the untouchables, the fugitive, miami vice etc. I think he did pretty well!

Wow this discussion made me laugh so hard that I cried. My hubby talks alot in his sleep also. In fact one night I went to climb in bed and he was sweaty from using a blanket and it was a hot summer night. So I tugged his arm and said Hun you are sweating well he was still asleep and said Yep It's a hot one today. Well I could not help it but I just had to . I think that is where our 2 year old son gets it from. My son on the other hand, well if you want a laugh just wait till he starts up, one night he must have had a good dream or something because all of a sudden we heard him say Cool in his dream boy that was just funny. Another one I heard him say in his sleep was NoNoNo my daddy.
Sometimes it is intresting to see what people will say in their sleep.
Happy Mylotting.

I could say something here but it would get me in trouble big time! hehe Yes my wife talks in her sleep and she says that I do too but I have never heard it!
As for the elbow in the face, can't say I have ever had that. I did wake up one winter morning ~ 3am though, teeth chattering (it was winter, OK) freezing cold. I look over at my lovely wife who is all smiles, warm and comfy. She should have been warm and comfy hermetically sealed up with ALL the covers tucked neatly under her like a mummy. DO'H!

When we were first married, my husband told my two nephews that he had to kick me out of the bed every morning! The boys were five and seven years of age. After about six months of marriage they came to spend the weekend with us. I awoke the next morning to see the two boys by the side of our bed. When my husband asked them what they wanted, they said that they had come to see him kick me out of the bed. MY husband said 'so sorry darling, but I have to do it". He then proceeded to kick me out of the bed - much to the boys' delight.
My husband never spoke in his sleep. He would sometimes snore and I would pinch his nose to get him to stop!

hahahah my husband is a prophet too in that case
only he farts instead of elbowing
so I would fart back or hit him with a pillow
he speaks foreign language in his sleep too, probably some alien communicating method :)

When my hubby and I first got together her was working in the paint department of Home Depot. We used to stay up all night talking until we fell asleep. Well one night he was falling asleep while we were talking, and out of nowhere says "Can I tint you a primer?" We're still laughing over that.
Then another night around the same time I began falling asleep first, and vaguely remember having a dream about stealing popcorn from a grocery store. I said outloud due to my dream "Just take it and run".
So now every so often we'll tease each other about it. "Yeah, how bout you tint me a primer?" He'll say "No, you'll take it and run"

Haha, how funny you guys even in sleep, lol. You have so much patience for your hubby. Well, like your hubby, I am used to sleep alone but I did have roommate. My Mom once told me that I recited some passage in my English book in my sleep but I remembered nothing after I woke up. And then my roommate also told me that I said,"hello hello, it's me." in my dream. Seems I tend to speak in English rather my mothertongue in sleep, lol.
I can't bear sleeping with a guy who snores because my breath is not so noisy. I can't fall asleep very easily when I spend the night with my bf at weekends. We often talk and watch movie until very late and then we are tired and sleep natually:D

That is a really cool story. I wish that my husband would say something, anything useful in his sleep!
