Weird Waking Moments

What is the weirdest thing you have ever heard yourself say or think as you were waking up sometime in the night or in the morning? For me today it was.”didactyl kaleidoscope.” Could that be a metaphor for “limited interaction with a world of endless variation“?

I can't think of anything at the moment but I do have weird dreams sometimes.

I only remember the words I said because I immediately picked up my phone and recorded it.

Yeah, it was wild—"didactyl kaleidoscope." How, on God's green earth, did my subconscious mind come up with that?

I woke up one night with a song I knew filling my head and I was singing some of the words,l Be as it might it did happen my first love and boyfriend in high school who has since passed had been playing with a ghost band. Kid you not. He used to love playing the guitar and singing Teach Your Children. When I fuilly sat up in bed I still faintly saw him and some of the band and he simply said Goodbye and disappeared.

@RasmaSandra I wish she wold visit you, too. It was wild. At about that some day, my friend's new laptop started showing her a slideshow of picture of her deceased mother. We figured they must have been trying to tell us something.

That was interesting. Nothing stays in my mind as I wake up.

@Chellezhere I do realize I've been dreaming, but it just fizzles away by the time I'm awake.

I've been told I talk in my sleep. I can tell when that is because in my dream I have trouble getting the words out. That's usually when I'm talking in my sleep.

Now, that is interesting! Usually when I talk in my sleep, I am doing something overwhelmingly stressful in my dream.

@LindaOHio Is that lifelong, or more recently?

@Chellezhere Yes! My dreams are vivid and stressful 90% of the time. I wake up in a sweat.

My mother once claimed I talked in my sleep, but I don't think I did. But I know my mother does sometimes.

I think we all do at some point, but unless someone hears us or we catch ourselves while waking, it's hard to know.
