This Troper, last math class: "I love triangles." *falls asleep on desk*

This troper just posted the following on the GameFAQs Random Insanity social board, possibly confusing everyone there: "There are seven girls that I made in one of Doll Divine's latest game, the Fairy Tale Chick maker. Yasmina, Ebony, Vermillia, Ivory, Chloe and Marylinn xollext the tetet of others, which their mistress, Jezebelle, then mixes into a pofoio which, when rajeb, will allow them and anyone else who does to vtu until tht. Pictures are unable to be provided because uisephf ipWFB EWFBUPI, Bier bQWUI IBrqbipqwr." She then promptly fell asleep at the computer desk.

Previously, on Troper Tales: Stepford Smiler, this troper posted: #QUOTE# One of this troper's [=OCs=] is a type A, even to the point where she. I made her on this game here. Light blue eyes, light blue hair, ponytail out the side. Wears almost all blue clothes, even accessories. Grey or black where no blue is found. Light blue lipstick for no reason other than. Name is Skye. Has no fandom, just came from my mind. Picturs undable ot be porviddded... *sleep*

This troper, when exceptionally overtired, once uttered the phrase "Words...have stopped making sense...in context...anymore...Rutabaga!" causing her mother to nearly asphyxiate laughing.

This troper found that, when denied sleep, his best friend tends to spout nonsense. The best has to be while playing Gears of War 2 online. "Get the grapefruit on the hairy bridge!" indeed.

This troper's best friend has been known to do this. Some of the highlights have been: "Matthew, you ate them ALL", "Leave the duck alone!", and "No, not the vampires!" Additionally, this troper's mother consistently chants, "Thirty-two and nineteen!" in her sleep.

When this troper was little, according to her mum, she yelled "There's mushrooms in my hair!" upon being woken up. Also, one night while camping in a trailer, I apparently walked into my dad's room, turned on the light and stood there holding my hand out saying "I've got.. I've got a..." then gave up and went back to my room without turning the light off. My stepsister has also told me of a few times she's heard me. Apparently I once sang in Japanese in my sleep, and I also said "I sleeeepy" in a kiddish voice. She also apparently saw me yell "No more mushrooms!" and flail my arms. Apparently there's a recurring mushroom theme, there...

ThisTroper was delirious with swine flew and got up and told her to deliver the box to the math people. When she didn't understand what I was going on a a bout I yelled "THE MATH PEOPLE". I the went back to sleep.

That story is a NonSequitur in itself...

This troper enjots asking people's permission to lick them or bite off their noses. Normally they refuse. Then I poke them. Also, Banana Lobotomy. I enjoy saying strange things, usually to humorous result. If it doesn't work, I try again in an hour or so.

On the first morning of this troper's stay in Bangkok last summer, something odd happened, probably due to being jet-lagged out the arse from the LONG flight over. I remember very clearly being awakened by the cupboy of the guy I was staying with, and drawling bemusedly, "Waaaagh?"

This Troper apparently sings German and Japanese showtunes in her sleep.

This troper once, while staying with her sister and sister's ex boyfriend in New York during the holidays experienced on of these. Because they lived in a one bedroom apartment I usually slept on a blow up mattress in the TV room. One night while I was typing on my computer I hear the light go on, and since it's past midnight I switch it off and pretend to be asleep. Anyway, I hear someone rambling towards me, so I squint my eyes open, only to be unceremoniously shoved off the bed by my sister's boyfriend while he mumbled 'Zoe, get the sheets'. I sat rather perturbed on the floor before I got my sister to wake up and fetch him. On a separate occasion, again while staying with my sister, I heard her mutter several times in her sleep 'T, do you really want that hairdo? It's so ugly.' When I woke up and asked 'What?' she just grumbled 'it so is' at me and rolled over. Evidently, she was addressing me at the time and its well known that my sister and my mom think I could do more with my hair. The subconcious confounds.

This troper (hereafter referred to as "I") stays up at night while his girlfriend usually goes to bed at around 10 o'clock to get up early for class. One night my girlfriend shot up, looked me dead in the eyes and said "Four beats" while holding up four fingers with her thumb pointing inward before falling back down. Another night, she shot up again and asked if I wanted to trade the ladybugs for the shoes. Both times I replied with "what?" and she repeated the questions in irritated tones. These were very creepy as she had a zombified blank stare.

This troper's father did this once. He was sleeping in his bed at night and suddenly sits bolt upright and yells "no! Not the slippers!" and falls down in the bed again, snoring, leaving this troper wide awake and very confused.

While in the army this troper experienced an epic non sequitur. One of his roommates had gone to bed early and was lying in his bed giggling to himself and muttering to himself "I can see you move down there..." while wiggling his toes. When we called to him to stop, since we were laughing so hard it was getting difficult to breathe, he sat bolt upright, pointed at us and shouted "You have extremely small penises!!" before falling back down to sleep. I almost died laughing.

This troper, according to her mother, had several of these whilst sleeping as a child. On one occasion, I apparently sat bolt upright and yelled "The kerry bombs! The kerry bombs are here!" before falling back down to the bed again, and, on another occasion, muttered something along the lines of "No... give me back the mushroom!". What the heck a "kerry bomb" is, I have no idea.

A cherry bomb with XtremeKoolLetterz.

This troper's mother, who works in a store, was half-asleep and asked if our cat had counted the cigarrettes yet.

This troper's brother was at a Boy Scout camp when one of his sleeping tentmates said, quite loudly, "Don't touch the kitchen porridge!"

The above troper would also like to mention that another member of the aforementioned brother's Boy Scout troop once sat up in the middle of the night and yelled, "Dude! Stop telling me how to spell Wednesday! It's W-E-D-N-E-S--" He stopped there. To this day, we are unsure as to whether he really does know how to spell Wednesday.

In an example similar to the ''JimmyNeutron'' example cited on the main article, this troper recalls hearing on ''SportsCenter'' how a hockey player gets decked in the middle of a game. He's dragged back to the bench and asked how many fingers by the trainer, and after a moment responds "Thursday."

I don't remember if it was a real story or something on a TV show (think it was the latter), but I heard an example of "Orange" as the answer to the fingers question.

There wasn't a hit on the head, but this troper's brother woke up, looked right at me, and asked me to fetch the blue condoms. Then he went right back to sleep. He was fourteen, and neither of us owned any condoms at the time.

This troper recalls a time when he went to wake up a friend who was late for work. He simply rolled over and muttered "Don't worry, the people will take care of it."

When this troper was 12 years old, he went on a scout camp and tented with a kid notorious for his dramatic homesickness. I woke at some time very early in the morning to hear him snoring. As a trivia buff, I knew that he was in the deepest part of sleep. It was rather surprising, then, when he suddenly belted "mommy! waaah!" before proceeding to snore again.

This troper is you.

Shortly after this troper turned 13, he woke up early in the morning adamantly convinced that Count Olaf was trying to break into the house, and came very close to waking his parents and telling them to book it before coming back to his senses. The difference between this example and most others is that i was fully conscious at the time.

This troper was sleeping once when his roommate walked in. He said something that made perfect sense at the time, within the context of the dream he was having, and woke up immediately afterwards. The troper cannot remember what it was that he really said, but the roommate later described it as "speaking in tongues".

This troper had a similar thing occur. A friend was trying to wake her up when she stated simply, "I thought dinosaurs were extinct." It made perfect sense within the context of the dream. This troper was then awoken by her friend's laughter.

And in the same vein, this troper (reportedly) once shouted "Chaos Control!" in his sleep shortly before waking to stifled laughter.

Y'know, this dude really wants to know what that dream was about.

With this troper, it was "Can I have that line again, please?"

For this troper, it was "I need to get a boogie-board on the way down." And on another occasion, "Save me some macaroni."

For This Troper it was "Don't put the ferret in the smokehouse". We have neither a ferret, nor a smoke house.

This troper's sister tells him that he does this quite often. "Queen purple bee won't fit in the boat!"

This troper wins the ominous prize with the line "excellent. The body is mine". Again, it made sense in context of the dream, whatever that was...

This troper knows: you're possessed. Time for the sacred flame of the Emperor!

This troper's wife came up with "Don't eat that, it's metal" once. But according to her, he beats this by regularly reciting Java code while asleep.

This troper's mother has informed him that he once walked out to the living room (sleepwalking, obviously) and shouted "No! I'll never do it! Where's the screen door?!"

This troper's girlfriend was taking a nap, and suddenly said "dear, the basket...". After a brief awkward silence, she said, half awake, "did I say that out loud?"

One time when this troper was a kid, his mother came to check on him to make sure he was asleep and received the line, "No, no, no, it has to go ''around'' the solar system''. Furthermore, this troper apparently raised an arm and made a circular motion with his arm, index finger raised, in an approximation of an umpire signaling a home run.

On Christmas 2007, this troper had a flu and was delirious with fever (nice Christmas, huh?). His mother came to check on him to see if he was asleep and received the line: "Transform and roll out!".

This troper was also kinda delirious with pneumonia at age seven, and apparently said something along the lines of, "There's a dinosaur behind you and a talking black cat on your shoulder. It likes apples."

This troper was staying at a friend's house for the night, a few years ago. My friend had fallen asleep, so I was playing some game on the computer in his room. He mumbled something and I turned around and asked, "What?" a bit surprised, as I thought he was asleep. There was a several second pause, and he said, "I'll kill them!". Cue the uneasiness.

This troper once responded to the question of "What do you want for breakfast?" with "BillClinton". Huh.

This troper's mother asked "What time were you supposed to get up today?" What appears to have happened was that the troper was awake for the first half of the sentence, but passed out midway through, so the response came out "Between six and nine degrees Celsius."

This troper's friend likes to tell her about the time his parents came into his room while he was asleep, and he was evidently sitting straight up, still asleep, and started saying "When I'm king..." Considering the nature of said friend, this troper is not sure whether she should be amused or alarmed.

One time, this troper was staying at a friend's house. The friend had been awake, while I was still asleep. I distinctly remember him saying that, while I was sleeping, he had downloaded an N64 emulator and every game for the N64. I said, "Even Superman 64?" while still half-asleep. Of course, he hadn't actually said that, and looked completely baffled as I woke up and realized I had said it out loud (or, moreso, realized that he hadn't said that).

My friend is infamous for having said "Doctor decompress my scales" in her sleep. I once said "But I don't have any marbles!" in mine.

I've been told by my sister that I once said, "no, I don't know the muffin man" while I was asleep.

This troper has suffered a concussion brought about by a patch of ice and gravity working. Apparently, while at the hospital, he would frequently demand the head of Billy Talent.

This troper had a friend who got kicked in the head accidentally at school (don't ask how). While we were waiting for his parents to arrive to take him to the hospital, he would ask the time every two minutes exactly with no recollection of having done so previously.

This editor had a recently unconscious friend complain to him that he hates it when the online billing knocks his hand up and out of the cage.

Non Sequitur Thuds apparently run in this troper's family. Her father once infamously shouted after being woken from a nap, "Is that a salad?" He then fell back asleep.

In a similar situation, she once asked, "Where's the thing you eat squirrels with?"

This troper's family, too. The same troper who provided the "solar system" story above had a grandfather who once, upon being asked if he was awake (he wasn't), responded with "We're coming into the forties now."

This editor's roommate on his gap year in china related a story of a friend of his muttering in his sleep one night and then, totally unprompted (subverting this trope somewhat in that no blows to the head were required to prompt the outburst) sitting upright in bed, while asleep, and shouting "That's an '''outrageous''' challenge!" and then lying down and sleeping again. Weird...

This editor apparently used the phrase "Needs more firepower!" in half-consciousness.

If the line had been "Needs MoreDakka!", you would officially be my hero.

BOW BEFORE YOUR NEW GOD.

This troper's dorm mate once yelled in Spanish "I hold you that pandas make horrible shoes" - this troper would ''love'' to know what that dream was about.

It wasn't in Spanish, but this troper once came up with "The pandas are the power source!" It made slightly more sense in context.

This troper's brother denies talking in his sleep, but he really does. The only line I remember was something with toilets and cheese. My mother insists she heard him once recite a 15-digit number in full clarity and said she was worried he was talking on the phone giving away social security numbers or something.

This troper is very dopey when he wakes up in the morning. One time he was eating breakfast at the table in this dopey manner when his father asked him to let the dog out. His response of "I love you too, Dad" was not the response his father expected.

This editor was told to have once jumped out of bed in the middle of the night and yelled at his family to run away. He also makes it a point to ask about the truck's licence number after falling or being hit, but it's a conscious choice.

This troper had a friend who awoke screaming that he hated his mother. Concerned friends asked him if he was having trouble at home, and he had no idea what they were talking about.

FreudianSlip?

This troper occasionally has his faculties together enough when clobbered to suspect that it's a conscious urge implanted in the human subconscious by cartoons. Of course he has also, on occasion, woken up with no idea who, where, when, or why he is (never after drinking, unfortunately), so, you know...maybe I'm not the most reliable testimony.

In this troper's sophomore year of college she had a suite mate who would occasionally hold entire conversations with other people while asleep. My personal favorite was when she randomly sat up and started shouting "I'm ''so'' tired!"

This troper has been told she tends to do that too. Apparently, I even once discussed the content of a movie with my sister. According to her, I gave fairly bizarre reasons to why I did not like the film. I have actually yet to see that movie, which my sister found out after I woke up, apparently a few minutes after this conversation took place.

This troper apparently once spoke for ten minutes straight in a made-up, Germanic-sounding language in her sleep.

This Troper admits to not actually waking up for almost an hour after leaving the bed. This has resulted in some rather odd half-awake statements, as many of them are in reference to the nights dreams. "You'd never think that Severus could get so ticked at the mention of sour patch kids..." is a favorite.

As the user keeper of the flame said on gamefaqs, "Chili peppers?! do the chilis throw WISDOM?!", "And all the walgreenses there will be magical. WOAH! A crossdressing lich!". She posted them as "half-asleep ramblings"

ThisTroper has been known to do this on occasion; most amusingly when he was in third grade and had chicken pox, resulting in him waking up in the middle of the night while muttering, "Mommy, do you still live in the zoo?"

Drunken Posts on this website. I cannot guarantee any level of worksafeness.

This gem from this troper's sleeping roommate: "If there's one thing that I've learned... '''''(DRAMATIC PAUSE)''''' ...that would be it."

This troper once awoke with the phrase "And I couldn't close the freaking window!" His mother was also responsible for yelling out "CRITTERS!" before falling back asleep.

Variation on the trope: this troper has a habit of mumbling, and then (when asked what he said) immediately dismiss it as unimportant. On one occasion, the troper's roommate refused to let the matter drop and simply repeated what she ''thought'' she had heard - thus, 'Thank the gods for small mercies' somehow transformed into 'Thanks for shopping at Small Murphy's' and instantly became a RunningGag for any misheard or unintelligible speech.

This troper used to have a tendency to talk in her sleep, according to her friends, and on the odd occasion her mother. One time, her mother asked what Troper wanted for breakfast. The (embarrassing) answer was "Chimpanzee Party Pack." Another time, her father woke her up to ask the same thing, but this time the answer was "Cinderella." This troper could have sworn she had answered "oatmeal." One gem from her friends was the mutter of the name Kyle...when none of them (or this troper) ''knew'' a Kyle at the time.

Same troper's mother has a similar story from when she was in high school. She walked in the door of their house late at night, and no one was awake. She walks by her younger brother's room, where he sits up in bed and says sternly "What are you doing?" Mother paused at the doorway, unsure of what to do before he sat back down in bed and went to sleep, leaving said mother bewildered.

Again, same troper was playing soccer in a semi-competitive league, when one game, she got smacked in the face with the soccer ball twice. Once on both sides of her face. The first time, she was disoriented and giggling a little at the fact, but the second time, she was outright cackling like a madman. Seems to be a pattern for when she gets hit in the head, as she recently got hit in the face by a rubber (luckily mostly flat) dodge ball by someone with a good arm. She simply laughed it off, as it was quite hilarious. Oddly enough, she seems to be the one who gets the most injured in gym class...

This troper talks in her sleep, as well. Some of it is relatively mundane -- such as managing to hold surprisingly coherent conversations without waking up. However, according to reports, she once interrupted a nonsequitur discussion about a "Six-Pack of Cheerleaders" with "A six pack of naked cheerleaders? I want one." It became a running gag for a while.

A friend of this troper one yelled out, "Warren got laundry duty!" Another one propped himself up on his elbows, faced the guy next to him (who was awake at the time), remarked, "Cha-ching!" and promptly collapsed again.

This troper is, well, infamous for this within her own family. Examples include "mittens", "I suggest...", and "No, Mommy, no, I don't want to play that!", all while asleep, as well as "sleepy babble", which is usually affected.

This troper's roommate mumbles in his sleep on occasion. He has yet to say anything notable. On the other hand, the troper in question was apparently ''very'' entertaining when the anesthesia was applied for his wisdom teeth removal. All I can remember is "There's that taste in my mouth! (this was actually a side-effect from the anesthesia), "I'm going to see how long I can stay awake!" and "can I have a hug?" Note that the last one is something this troper often says while conscious.

This troper once woke up feeling very puzzled in the middle of a conversation about Hamlet she and her friend were having while both asleep (it was what they had been talking about before they went to bed). The friend talks regularly in her sleep, though not usually about Shakespeare: being a very cheerful, sweet-natured girl she has been heard to say things like "Oh, that's nice! That's ''lovely''!" in blissful tones on several occasions.

This same troper's brother and a friend had apparently both fallen asleep among friends in the last stages of a party. My brother moaned in his sleep "How much are the sausages?" to general laughter which faded into bewildered consternation, when the friend moaned in reply "20p!" (cheap sausages...!)

My wife says I'm renowned for doing this to her. It ranges from me muttering "No telling the crotch story" to actually waking her up and talking at her about "spheres" and "short swords +5," all while I'm asleep.

This troper's little sister once half woke to say "Mom... they're everywhere...". We never knew what "They" were.

This troper's aunt reportedly drowsily responded to a question asked by her husband (in regard to the location of...something) with "In the backyard where the grass is growing." Now it's a RunningGag between me and my mother.

This troper (perhaps understandably) has no memory of the event, but, apparently, when she was five or six, she said "You know, I really don't like purple" in her sleep while her mother was in the room. This troper doesn't recall if she was in bed or sleepwalking when this happened. (Incidentally, I actually do like purple.)

This troper had a friend sleeping on the couch who thrashed around, sat bolt upright and fled across the room yelling about "the second spider!"

My mother, while reading a bedtime story to my younger sister, once said; "And Moomin-Mama woke up, and the blood-sample showed 0.64 promille." On another occasion, my grandmother suddenly sat straight up in bed. My grandfather asked her what it was, and she replied: "Oh, that hag, there she goes! Up the wall, across the ceiling, out the window and away."

My mom used to insert random phrases into my books when she was tired too...

This troper has been informed by her mother that during a night as a child, she randomly sat up in bed while her mother was passing by, announced "I'm a very good climber." and thunk, lying down again, still asleep. ...Also, she swears in her sleep if she's having bad dreams.

This troper is a teacher who was once assigned as the room monitor during a school trip. The six students he was looking after told him that he fell off the couch he was sleeping in, stood up half-asleep shouting "What the hell are you laughing at?!", before shambling right into a wall and mumbling something incoherent.

Once while this troper was completely sloshed at a party he apparently leapt up from the chair he was sitting in, declaimed some Shakespeare and collapsed face forward into the sand. Incidentally the Shakespeare wasn't one of the big speeches, but when looked up was a pair of utterly forgettable lines in act 3 of Hamlet. To this day this troper doesn't know why he did that.

This troper was known to make some strange comments while under the influence of anesthetic after getting his wisdom teeth removed, but his father takes the cake. After he had some dental work done, he was given some antibiotic/pain medication. Mildly delirious, he stumbled into my room and sprawled diagonally across the bed. And he demanded ice cream! I reluctantly brought it to him, but after taking one bite, he declared it "too hot" and passed out. For hours.

I always hope that when I go wake up my sister for school, she'll do one of these. Recently, she mumbled something along the lines of "...I don't know who ACT Black is..." so I asked her, "Who's ACT Black?" and she replied, in a sleepily annoyed way, "I don't know! That's why I don't know who my boyfriend is!" What makes it more hilarious is that my sister is known to be a very avid boy-hater.

Tropers/KrazehPenguin is told he mumbles songs in his sleep.

This troper was working an ambulance for a medivac when the flight nurse slipped on ice and received a concussion. When another nurse was evaluating her to see if she would have to flown out as well, she successfully answered the standard questions "Do you know where you are?" and "Do you know what happened?" And then came the third question: "Do you know what day it is?" The nurse looked up brightly, said, in her perfectly normal voice, "Sure, it's purple," smiled, and passed out on the bed.

Once, when in the Navy and on underway deployment, one friend of mine went down to wake another guy up for his watch rotation. The mumbled response he got? "Tell Barry about the panzers". After being jabbed again and told that it's time to get ready for watch, he came back with, "Naw, I got the weekend off." It was only after being told that no, he did ''not'' have the weekend off because we were in the middle of the south Pacific that he finally came to some level of coherency. It still didn't stop him from being late for watch, though.

If this troper is very, very tired (or somewhat tipsy), he will often say a nonsensical noun, frequently "oranges". Followed by "Oranges are good."

Are you quite certain that you aren't secretly a Captain Jack Sparrow impersonator? I can so totally see him just mumbling that out of nowhere.

A friend of this troper once shouted "Where's the giant waffle?" after being awakened.

this troper once recalls having a friend of his mumble on and on about "the Adventures at the coffee cake shop". he would talk on and on about how he met his mother, senior citiczens, and "stupid cashiers that asked if I wanted coffee".

This troper's brother occasionally talks in his sleep-always incoherent gibberish, but here's the real fun: if you respond to him, he will carry on a conversation with you. On one occasion this went on long enough that it finally culminated in, "Shut up." To this day, I don't know if "Shut up" was part of the dream, or if he'd woken up enough to work out that I was messing with him.

Incidentally, variations on the theme run in the family. I tend to make not a lot of sense even when I'm having what passes for a coherent thought, so what would be a NonSequiturThud is par for the course over here.

Same for this troper. It all makes perfect sense in my head, but what comes out is a fragment or two which makes my family go "What are you talking about ''this'' time?"

During a sleepover some years ago, this troper apparently woke her friend up by screaming a big "NOOOO!" and other dramatic lines while in her sleep. According to the friend, I did calm down after a while (while still fast asleep, of course), only to deliver a rather puzzling line: " You're missing the point. That's not your bra, it's a hippopotamus."

"Don't crush that dwarf; hand me the pliers!"

According to some of the men who fought in the Irish 1916 Easter Rising, Eamonn DeValera (who was in charge of the garrison at Boland's Mills) was catching some rest during a lull in the fighting, when he woke up and started screaming "Set fire to the rails!" over and over until his men calmed him down. Surprisingly (in light of this fact), Boland's Mills was one of the more successful points of the rising.

This troper plays what is essentially a {{Sherlock Holmes}} Expy - just younger and a bit more inexperienced, and loved to give him such remarks whenever he's hit with something, the following phrase has been used, generally as {{Shout Outs}} or {{Take That}} for the detective genre:

"An Oranatang? What an idiotic twist!"

"Told you the Belgium's a twit!"

"And another thing..." *thud*

this troper once tried to wake her mother up from a nap. Mom responded "Did you forget to walk the Elephants? Good."

This editor can't remember if he was actually trying to wake his boyfriend up, or if he was reading in bed when his boyfriend randomly started talking in his sleep. Either way, said boyfriend spouted the immortal line: "That fish looks really funny swimming around on the sign like that." When I asked him what he was talking about, he pointed up at the ceiling, said, "That one. Right there," and passed out again. It has since become a RunningGag.

This troper's sister was holding a conversation with her half-asleep mother. About halfway through the conversation, his mother said very clearly, "It will be Cocoa Puffs for them." She still has no memory of saying this.

"Corn Flakes. It's always Corn Flakes."

This troper's little sister went through a phase of sleepwalking during her teens. Two events stand out in the family's memory - the time she walked into our parents' bedroom, shouted "IT'S IN THE MIDDLE!" and left, and the time she called for Dad, complaining that there was something flying around in her room. He helpfully offered to go get the fly spray. This earned him a look of utter contempt, and the immortal phrase: "It's not ''alive!'' It's a ''basket!''"

I once heard my alarm go off at 6 in the morning and started sobbing, because he was so tired and he didn't want to get up. But I do. I get into the shower, and try to get out, but then my sister walks into the bathroom. She asks, "Are you okay?" I yell back at here, "Get out! MY EYES HURT!" I was really tired, you see, and the water made my eyes hurt worse. She leaves. I try to get dressed, then say, "Screw this, I'm missing school today." I go back to sleep, I wake up in the morning when my alarm goes off. Apparently what had happened was, I dreamed that my alarm went off, then woke up at midnight- just as my sister gets home from school. She thought I had gone crazy. Subverted in that I wasn't actually awake and know prescisely what I said and why.

This troper's roommate is an astoundingly lucid sleep-talker. My favorite so far is "Where's the alien?" followed shortly by "BOOM!"

This troper once napped while using AIM on a laptop, which he was still holding while asleep. After (or possibly before) waking up, he typed "hmm...not sure if we can go any farther", "no, that wasn't true", and a few other incoherent statements, much to the confusion of the person receiving the messages. After being slightly more awake, it was explained with the following: "but it had something to do with me finishing the letter M in my dream, and not being able to move on to others because we couldn't access them. I don't know who "we" is in that context, btw. or what we were doing. just that something was going on. it involves penguins I think"

This troper had gotten some new rubber bands for her braces, and had ended up drooling on her pillow. She leapt out of her bed in the middle of the night, and recalls freaking out about "worms in the bed". My mother came in to ask what was wrong, and was confused since I couldn't complete a sentence. She asked if I was awake, to which I reportedly replied "I'm not sure."

This troper was exhausted and ill, but went to her class anyway to take a Music Theory test. The test ended up being a take-home one, and it wasn't until she got around to finishing it later when she'd had a couple cups of coffee that she realized she had somehow written that one of the cadences was "dancing" rather than "deceptive". (There is no such thing as a dancing cadence.)

She also fell asleep in the middle of a biology test--''and continued taking the test''. When the teacher handed it back, one of the answers was illegible but seemed to contain something about pandas. (The course, while biology, was in fact ''marine'' biology, and this troper is fairly certain pandas are not by any stretch of the imagination marine.)

This troper's grandmother, while sick with shingles and delirious, muttered something about "Manwell's brain" at one point when we were taking care of her. She naturally doesn't remember this at all.

"I'm looking for my little stick", was the answer I got when I asked my sleepwalking sister what she was doing out of bed.

This troper once woke up his parents jumping out of his bed and shrieking about "the slugs with pointy teeth". The next day he didn't remember any of it until his dad asked him if the slugs left on him bite marks. We still have quite some laughs about it!

This troper was on a car ride home from the dentist where I was put under anaesthesia to have some teeth filled, which left me slightly giggly and nonsensical. My mother, at the time, had a GPS system that would let her know, in a female voice, "You are exceeding the speed limit". It keeps saying it if you don't slow down, and apparently it bothered me, because I turned to my mom and yelled "Mom, will you slow down so she'll SHUT UP?!" Another notable quote involved the twoof us at Burger King and I had noticed that the regular lemonade fountain had recently been replaced with pink lemonade, which apparently excited me to the point where I walked my cup of pink lemonade over to my mother and shouted "Dude, look, it's PINK." while giggling.

This troper wound up passing out on stage due to a combination of hot stage lights, an improperly laced corset, and the too-small dress the corset had been required for stuffing her into. Upon coming to with paramedics, other cast members, and her mother hovering over her, the first words out of her mouth were "Oh, that's nice... but why do they have blue beaks?"

Incidentally, at the exact same moment, a preschool teacher responded to a picture of birds colored by a colorblind child with "I passed out on stage, didn't I?"

This troper once concussed herself while putting lights on a Christmas tree by accidently standing up into a cabinet. According to her mother, the troper backed out from under the cabinet, stood up, carefully made her way out from behind the tree, walked over to a table, pulled out a chair, and carefully sat down before passing out cold.

This troper remembers being at a school retreat, in a cabin with several other girls. In the middle of the night, all of them were woken by a half-moan, half-scream of, "Too much food! Too... much... FOOD!" The babbling was traced to a cabinmate who was then shaken awake; the cabinmate proceeded to insist that she had been totally awake, and had heard no such thing. The same troper also remembers a friend who passed out from severe sunburn and was confined to her bed for a day. The friend woke up once to say again and again, "I have to get up. I have to get ready. I have to shower. We're going to church."

This troper has a few in her family.

Her cousin, after getting ridiculously drunk, once suddenly proclaimed that "Jesus is here in this room" before falling to his knees, saying "I bow to Jesus" and then promptly passing out. On another occasion, when asking how many beers he had, he would repeatedly answer, "I don't drink."

And then there's her brother, who frequently talks in his sleep, mostly incoherently, once quite coherently shouting "MARIO, MARIO!" before going back to sleep. He also had to have anesthesia once before an endoscopy and, when our mother asked about the foreign sounding name of the doctor, promptly responded, "He's a Greek." Later, he told our mom that he "saw her talking to that ''man'' over there, I'm telling dad". She was actually talking to the doctor.

Her older brother, while sleepwalking as a child, once woke our parents up and shouted "Mom, don't you ''see'' them?"

One of her other cousins, who fell asleep some time after he and this troper were playing Mario Party, repeatedly kept insisting in his sleep that it was this troper's turn and "I've been sitting here waiting," and then shouted "Hexagon Heat!" (the name of one of the mini-games).

I, in a more serious version, stood up and said "I have to figure this out", and then had an epileptic seizure. Or so they tell me, since I don't remember anything that happened for about an hour before it. I wish I knew what I had to figure out...

This Troper is a perpetual sleeptalker, much to the amusement of family and roommates alike. Some high points:

At age 9, during a camping trip, I woke up the whole tent when I announced "I'll get the hot sheets, Captain!" and sang the opening bars of the ''Smurfs'' theme.

During college, one roommate took to quizzing me while I was asleep. Evidently I told him I lived "about 100 miles inland" from where we were in school.

More recently, when sharing a room with my brothers, my older brother was nearly asleep when I shouted "ONLY THOSE IN THE WEST ARE RIGHTEOUS!" in a tone reminiscent of the Hammerites in the ''Thief'' series of games. He understandably had trouble going back to sleep after that...

In a similar situation, just a few weeks ago my younger bro informed me that I had spent the night planning an assault on an enemy position of some sort: "Now, if we go around the back way we might catch them off guard, but if we cut across the low area we shall fall under their long guns."

When this troper is woken up in the middle of an especially vivid (and bizarre) dream, she normally wakes up muttering the last line spoken in the dream, even if it was supposed to be said by someone other than her. The most memorable lines she's said while still half-asleep: "Yes, but I have only one ticket so we're stuck," "Yes, it's due TOMORROW," (with a "stern, you're-not-getting-out-of-this-one teacher" emphasis on the last word), and "I don't want a diamond; I want to dance on a pedestal!"

This troper got into a very odd situation. He sleep-DROVE (NOT KIDDING!) to work after falling half-asleep while watching SportsCenter. After logging on to TVTropes, (I have an amazing mental map, I guess) I awoke saying the statement "The Mets have a new Coach!"

This troper had an inversion. He was in that place where you're not quite awake, but not quite sleeping at the time. Capable of coherent thought, but no memories, this troper asked himself "Who am I, where am I, and why am I covered in feathers?" Then it occurred to this troper that one of the three questions didn't sound quite right, and bolted straight up in bed. No feathers in sight. Cue the phrase "What the hell?"

Many years ago, this troper shared a bedroom with her sisters, and had a problem with rolling out of the bed. One day she rolled out of bed, and her sister noticed. Said troper immediately began yelling at her sister for letting the bunnies get away, and went back to bed. She was still angry about the bunnies the next day, but now wonders what was running through her head...

This troper can't even remember what was said, but he knows that, for whatever reason (maybe not enough sleep?), he delivered one of these in a high school choir some number of years ago. He regained enough consciousness a minute or so later to wonder why he had said... whatever it was. Fortunately, whatever he said couldn't have been that bad, as no one ever made a big deal about it, and we are talking about ''high school'' here.

ThisTroper has a friend who related a story to him once. Friend and his brother were sharing a room for some reason. Friend was awake (reading or playing a video game, don't quite remember), when Friend's brother sits bolt upright, makes eye contact and asks "How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?". Friend, scared shitless, replies "Three?". Brother: "OK" ''thud''. Dead asleep, did not remember the conversation the next morning.

Wasn't that in ''AGoofyMovie''? It's on the main article page.

Story predated the movie.

This troper was delirious a flu-induced fever. She complained, "My eyeballs are too hot!" then passed out and half-sang, half-mumbled parts of ''Through the Fire and Flames''.

This troper has very vivid dreams, and frequently when being awoken from them will see things when first waking up. For example, once when her mother tried to get her out of bed, she saw her mother piling her stuff on her bed to try and get her out of it. Though when she woke up for real, nothing was on her bed and it was probably just part of her dream carried over upon being only half-awake. Also, sometimes if she is having a bad dream, she can get enough control in it that pinching herself or yelling in the dream will wake her up. Once she woke up saying something like "No, ''you can't make me do that!''" startling her college roomate, and another time she was having a truly bad dream and woke up yelling. It scared her Dad, and her Mom came down to check on her. She was fine once she woke up, though.

When I was playing through Ocarina of Time for the first time at a friend's house, he sat up in a daze, grabbed the controller from my hand (which was black, btw) and said "You can't... the black legos." I looked at him, he frowned, dropped the controller and went back to sleep.

When I had a serious fever, I had been watching a SailorMoon marathon (fansub tapes, not the dub, which makes it even stranger.) I got up, panicked, and went into the front room where my Dad was. I said "Where did Josh and Amy go?" My dad said "Who's Amy?." I was convinced both Josh (my friend) and Amy (meaning Sailor Mercury) were visiting and I fell asleep entertaining them both.

This troper has a college roommate who stays up late playing WorldOfWarcraft. One night, at 3 in the morning, I was sleeping and Roomie was leveling up. Then, as he told me the next day, I said something along the lines of "Aaiieeee! Mmmh...hrrm...Snorkel...mmm...." while asleep before going silent again.

This troper was once smoking pot in a shed with a couple of people when she apparently said, "Hey look, tweed!", then fainted onto the work bench. She does not remember this.

This troper remembers her dad talking about a hunting trip he went on with his friend and, while half-asleep, troper's dad's friend said something like, "I feel like I snorted up a whole box of Triscuits," and was silent the whole rest of the night.

This troper's younger sister talks in her sleep from time to time. He went to wake her up one morning. Her response? "Orange monkeys." Dumbfounded does not describe his reaction well enough.

This troper nearly fell asleep while writing something (I can't remember what it was though) and every word ended up being replaced with a word that sounded kind of like that word (E.G "Onomatapeia" became "orangutan" and "Metaphor" became "Metallord"). In a non-vocal version, I once woke up, turned on my Xbox, grabbed the controller (backwards) and tried to play (I think I headbutted the controller at one point) before throwing the controller to the ground and going back to sleep. I guess I threw the controller because I thought it was broken (I hadn't turned the TV on). I remember this happening, but not very clearly.

This troper once bolted up to sitting position in his bed, fast asleep, and yelled "Give me back my blanket!" at the top of his lungs. Cue his somewhat perplexed mother coming in to ask what the racket was all about... My answer? *pointing towards my little sister's bed* "But she hid my mattress... " and then falling properly asleep again.

In an extremely strange example: Just a few minutes ago, this troper was reading this page and chuckling. Her dad's alarm went off, so she minimized the page and went to wake him up, waving his alarm and telling him, "Time to get up, it's seven o'clock." He opened his eyes, still half-asleep, and muttered, "I thought you weren't going to work today." Mind you she is fifteen and has yet to have a 'real' job in her life. Naturally, being a true geek, she had to come back here and edit this page immediately. Of course, her dad does these sorts of things all the time, along with her sister.

This troper apparently did this...one morning her brother asked her what she meant by something she'd said the night before. When this troper got confused, he told her that "You said said, out loud 'I'm coming with you, Chocolate Dirt.' And I asked what that meant and you said you'd tell me in the morning. So, what did you mean?" Needless to say, the troper has ''no'' idea.

This same troper's grandfather was woken up when Troper's uncle suddenly shouted in his sleep "There's a couger at the door!"

This tropers sister once, completely out of the blue, for no reason, said "The bed is mistook for a seven year old"....I dare you to make less sense!!

The same troper as above once woke up from a dream and said:"And that's why zombies and children dont mix!", all I can remember about the dream was that it involved: a video store, a see-saw, and a statue of the hulk.

This troper apparently sat up in bed once and sang "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" twice through before laying back down. Also, she once asked her mom what a soft pencil was (ItMakesSenseInContext), to which said sleepy mother replied, "The way a cucumber is cut..."

In addition, she was once responded to her mother waking her up to school with "But what about... what about..." (and with a real sense of urgency) before realizing that she had no idea what the problem was.

She's also managed to freak her atheist father (who doesn't even scare when you jump out of nowhere and attack him) with the line, "Grim Reaper}} The white spotted snake is coming to visit Papa, and it's the same white spotted snake that visited Grandpa." 'Grandpa' had died recently, and 'Papa' was on his death bed. Around that time, she also woke her mother up late at night and pointed to the window, asking "Who's that?"

This troper's best friend apparently was once caught mumbling in her sleep by her mother, who tried to wake her up and was met with a very coherent "''I don't like the horses.'' Put. AWAY. The '''''HORSES'''''", after which she just passed completely back out.

Apparently This Troper screamed something about "moldy macaroni" hen he was younger.

This troper, while having contributed to this page before, has yet to realize his true potential for this, as he occasionally dreams entirely in non sequiturs, just a random string of words appearing before his eyes, and he's trying to read them, but they keep changing, and often one word gets repeated two or three times in a row in the string, and it's really bizarre.

This troper's father once told him of one of his father's cousins, who, when on a camping trip, was talking in his sleep and, when asked what he was doing, vehemently replied "I'm climbing this tree! What's it look like I'm doing?" Hilariously, the cousin in question vehemently denied having had a dream about climbing a tree when asked about it in the morning. In a similar vein, this troper's cousin once told him of his rather involved battle plan while sleeping, apparently dreaming that he was a general. He, however, remembered the dream when asked about it the next morning.

This troper was reported by a friend during a sleepover to have said, very clearly, "I LOVE YOU MEIN SCHATZ, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ALLES GUTE ZUM GEBURTSTAG!". This troper isn't German....

This troper once underwent general anesthesia for some minor surgery, and the next thing he knew, he was incoherently mumbling around 70 digits of pi as he was waking up.

While waiting for the anesthetic to knock me out for similarly minor surgery, I began discussing Jules Verne's ''20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'' with the anesthesiologist. Upon waking, I asked the nurse to fetch him. When he arrived, I assured him how much I liked the book. I promptly fell asleep. He told the story to my mother, and apparently found it very amusing.

While drifting between wakefulness and sleep this troper once sat bolt upright And shouted "Of course. It's the ''regular'' gun mount, Rupert!" This troper has no idea who rupert is or how he came up with that name.

I thought my little brother was asking me what the pokemon move Pursuit did, so I described it's effect of dealing double damage to pokemon who switch out on the turn it's used. The next day, I asked him if he needed any more help with pokemon. Then he told me that I was fast asleep at 11 AM before blurting that out randomly, he hadn't said a damn thing and I was dreaming apparently. Making it a NST from his perspective.

This troper's mother apparently once had an entire conversation with this troper's father in his sleep about building scaffolding (father is a construction worker), which apparently culminated in him shouting "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!" and falling back asleep.

This troper has an odd tendency to do "dream maths" whenever tired, confused and/or disoriented. Appearantly, he mumbles about calculations involving 'numbers' mashed together from different languages - like twelveandthirzig or the elusive quatro-twentuno. His friends and family enjoy asking him math questions when he wakes up, because the answer is ''never'' correct, and his explanations for how he calculated them are appearantly hilarious ("Derive the int, cover the twelve, then add...iply the results.")

This troper has only been known to talk in her sleep on a few rare occasions, the most notable of which was when she said "God, I wish all of you would just leave me alone!" while sleeping in a camper with her family. She woke herself up, immediately realizing the absurdity of what she had just said, so when her brother, who also woke up, said "what?," she rather meanly replied "Nothing! Just go back to sleep!" Which he did.

This troper is prone to this when he eats before sleeping. Examples:

Shouting " KNECKEHBRUHT!" at somebody while sleeping. Apparently, said person was trying to pull the old "hand in a glass of water" trick on him. And "kneckehbruht" (probably spelled incorrectly) is... some language for "crackers". He first heard the word when he was five. This occured when he was fourteen. Yay for the subconcious!

I think you mean KNÄCKEBROT, which is German for crispbread.

Mumbling the lyrics to SystemOfADown's "Arto" in his sleep. The song doesn't have lyrics, it's just a lot of screaming and moaning. He was even whistling for the parts with that weird flute... thing.

Mumbling " The rabbits want to go sledding, pudding pie poprocks" while napping on a friend's couch after a particularly hefty lunch at [=McDonald's=]. Weirdly, this was in English, while this troper is natively Dutch. Then again, he speaks more English than Dutch in his average life, so...

" I want to borrow ten thousand. So. You wanna borrow ten thousand? You can't." during a stay at a friend's house. This is actually a quote from something I won't link to as it's in Dutch.

Bolting up, grabbing somebody by the shoulders and SCREAMING for about eight seconds, or so he's told. When they asked this him wether or not he was having a nightmare, he said he remembered something about " Cartilage...". Yes, the first Cartilage Head creeped him out immensely.

" I ride the train to humrlnumbledergrrrrrble." The last part was substituted by his sister, who heard him saying it when she snuck into his room to steal money at night. Apparently, hearing me talking while she was in the middle of sneaking my wallet from my pants startled her immensely.

This trope dude does that. Often. Like "Garbledina", "Find all your TP and flap away, Prespberterian", "Not quite what I was expecting" and, most famously "All your cake are belong to lies". I know this as I have a baby moniter in my room (?) and I watch it to see what funny stuff I say sometimes.

Not an injury or sleeptalking, but related: This Troper has a friend who, while going under anaesthesia for surgery, sang all the way through ''YellowSubmarine''. The fun part is that under normal conditions, all she can sing is the chorus.

The other night, this troper and her sister were sleeping over at a friend's. I was awoken in the middle of the night by my sister sitting up and speaking. Unfortunately, what she said was not in English, or indeed any language I have ever heard. I asked what she'd said, and she told me I had to go punch out the tuna because her stomach hurt to much. I told her to go to sleep. She said "OK" and flopped back down asleep. I was considerably creeped out.

This troper has only been reported to talk in her sleep onnce( when she was little, her mother asked her if she was asleep, and she replied "sleep with a sheep"), but she has said strange things in the following occurences:

When she was hit very hard by a dodge-ball and knocked over, a friend asked if she was ok, and was answered with "m y sled is powered by chocolate milk".

When she was on heavy mediacation for an asthma attack and in the hospital, keep singing (mostly awake) "Don' Stop Me Now".

And sometimes when leaving the dentist, my brain hasen't really woken up from being so mellowed by the laughing gas. So she will say strange things that actually kinda make sense, but are still weird. Such as " Team Rocket doesn't want Pikachu, cuz he's rare, it's, it's... because they can't have him. It's like he's forbidden or...somethin'. even though she hasn't watched Pokemon for at least five years!

And lastly, she hardly ever shows signs of being drunk after alchohol consumption. So after drinking four small bottles of Korbel champagne, she had no trouble walking, talking normally, or logical reasoning. Until a friend asked why she only listened to Slow Jams by Jaimee Foxx after she drinks. The reply: "Cuz it makes meh feel goooood!!!. Indeed.

And did I mention I was really wasted when posting these examples. Seriously, I'm usually pretty OK at spelling and grammar. But then, I'm drunk now...Maybe I should stop drunk-typing...

This troper had a friend whose friend (yeah, I know) whose family owns a convenience store and live above it. One night they went down to get something snacky out, but they had to wake the kid up. While he was fumbling with the keys a police officer stopped by (the others were just around the corner watching IIRC) and the kid turned to him and said "Don't worry. I'm the owner of the son" (though it could be misheard as "sun") without realizing what he was saying. After finding the right key, the officer left with a bemused smile on his face.

This Troper woke up at 1:00 A.M. one day (fully conscious and without any medicine, illness, or injuries) convinced that she had to get up for school. I got up, made toast with strawberry jam, and munched it while staring at the clock. I 'realized' that it was 1:00 and, thinking it was the afternoon, vaguely comforted herself with thinking that she would just 'time travel to the beginning of school' Just as ThisTroper finished her toast, she realized that it was the middle of the night, and went to sleep in the basement, later waking up on the top floor.

This troper once had surgery to figure out if he had the same form of heart disease that afflicts his brother and dad (Brugada). Apparently, after the anesthesia was applied, my parents told me I was a cat. I was wheeled into the operating room, meowing as I went. The same thing happened to my sister, who said "Wheeeeeee!" as she went in.

This troper's family often compete for the right to wake her up, in hope of gems like these:

"No, mom! You don't ''actually'' have to put Atem in the Rubik's Cube!"

"WHERE ARE MY GODDAMN TRUFFLES?!"

"Ugh. I can't see my legs."

"That's not Aang! That's a bookshelf!"

This troper's sister once came up (while sleeping on holiday) with the rather perplexing, "No! I need the crystal back immediately!".

This troper's younger sister once said while half asleep, in a very creepy monotone, "Come here, little girl. What's the matter? Do you think I'm going to HURT YOU?" Needless to say, I was quite disturbed.

This troper has quite a few.

This troper was found trying to sit in a trashcan. When asked what I was doing, I replied with "I'm looking for polka dots!" as if the person who asked was an idiot. I then curled up on the floor & went to sleep.

This troper reportedly, at age four, rolled off her bed, down a stepstool & into her closet without waking up.

I to a boarding school. In my Freshman year of high school, I was woken up in the middle of the night when my roommate climbed down from her bunkbed, took of her pants & started hitting me with them, saying that we had to go get her car. She then got back into her bed, carrying her pants with her. Not only was she fourteen at the time, but I have never known her to sleepwalk or sleeptalk since.

This troper has also been known to sit up, spout incoherent nonsense, then fall over, usually off the bed. Such statements include, "Your colour is HORSES," "I'm running. I'M RUNNING- IT'S IN. THE HAT. DEPARTMENT," "That looks GREAT on you, Dad!" & "Mew Airlines, flight 308."

This troper had a friend years ago at a sleep over for some class, who, when most of us were already awake but he was still asleep, yelled "No! Not the golden baba!"

This troper once fell asleep at a friends house, and apparently began speaking Japanese. I DO NOT SPEAK JAPANESE. Then again, we had just finished MGS2...

While this troper has no memory of the incident, his Anesthesiologist claims that, before going under for an appendectomy, said "There's a lizard crawling behind my eyes but not on the optic nerve."

During a road trip, this troper's brother fell asleep only to suddenly jump up and sing the opening lines to the DoctorSnuggles theme song before subsequently falling back asleep. He subsequently denied any memory of such an event.

This troper had to wake her little brother up after he had fallen asleep on the couch. When she was taking him the room they previously shared, he just stopped in the middle of the hallway. When she asked him what he was doing, he replied with, "I dropped my papadi," and bent down to pick up the invisible object. Then, he asked, "I can't find my glasses." He wasn't wearing any glasses to begin with.

During a vacation, this troper's family was woken by this troper singing "Rum Tum Tugger" in his sleep.

This Troper has done the same, except with Growltiger's Last Stand.

This Troper's brother's name is Milo, and her father swears he once heard her yell in her sleep, "No Milo! Not the hippopotamus!"

This troper's choir teacher once told her about how when she was in college she was mocked endlessly by her room-mate for having once, in her sleep, started singing the alto part to a song they were studying very very loudly, and kicking the bed sheets rhythmically along.

Since sleep-talking apparently counts, I have an amusing story a friend once told me about her old boyfriend: He once got up while sleeping and announced "I have to eat those crisps ''now''!". She informed him that he could eat the crisps (potato chips) later on if he wanted, and this apparently assuaged him, as he laid back down and was quiet the rest of the night.

At approximately age seven, this troper apparently walked into her parents' bedroom in the middle of the night and asked her mom a question about Materia. On another occasion, her older brother once started shouting "AAAAAAGGGH! ANTS!" in his sleep. And one of her friends is very prone to this at sleepovers:

Once she sat up, looked directly at me, and asked, "Where's Abby?" Abby is my name, and neither of us was especially familiar with another one at the time.

Another time, she got very upset and repeatedly insisted that "Abby told me to push the big red button." I hadn't said anything like that, ever.

The most recent incident was when we all fell asleep watching a movie, and then I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to turn off the DVD player. My friend sat up and demanded "What are you doing?" in a very frustrated voice. I replied that I was turning off the DVD player, and then she rolled her eyes, gave a very audible exasperated sigh, and passed out again.

I was asleep on the couch. My parents had just finished watching the episode of ''Series/DoctorWho'' with the weeping angels. I proceeded to ''freak my parents out big time'', by saying in my sleep "The angels have the phone box." I had been dreaming about that episode, playing the part of the doctor.

Mira-chan fell asleep on the couch once, and her friend tried to wake her up a number of times. Unsuccessfully. 'Cause each time her friend tried, she'd ''laugh''--not just chuckle or giggle, mind you, but ''laugh''.

Thanks to non-stop listening, and a over 9000 level of Catchyness, this troper reportedly had to be woken up because he wouldn't stop singing the remix of "PUT DAT COOKIE DAAAUUNGH!!!" in his sleep.

This troper's friend took a shower in the middle of the night, apparently fully asleep. In the morning his parents found him asleep on a very wet sofa.

This troper and his sister once went into surgery to see if they had a kind of heart disease that my brother and dad have. Apparently, after being put on anesthetic, my family told me I was a cat and I was wheeled into the OR meowing. My sister went "Weeeeeeee!"

One of this troper's old history teachers once told us a story about how he got knocked out by a baseball to the head. When he woke up, they asked him who he was, and delivered the Batman line. He pretty much ''had to'' explain why his old jersey said "Batman" on it.

This troper was once woken by her mother after an hour's sleep. Her mother was asking what she wanted for breakfast. My response? "It doesn't matter, because I have REGENERATION!" Cue me waking up to my mother laughing and wondering what was going on.

Case in point, upon prodding awake a friend of mine one day when he fell asleep in the delivery van we were driving, he announced, in a "whiny three year old" like voice "I don't wanna be a chicken mcnugget!"... he never could figure out what he was dreaming of to generate that particular response.

This troper, while a kid, shared a bedroom with his brother and once heard him speaking quite clearly, apparently to a friend: "What's that, Jamie? ...French cats? ...French cats eating ice cream?" - this troper then wailed "WAKE UP!!!"

This troper's mother scared the You-Know-What out of her when, upon waking from a doze she - the mother - asked me to call Longwood Elementary and tell them she wouldn't be in monday. Only problem, she didn't work for Longwood Elementary but for a certain state university that shall remain nameless. Turned out she'd not only forgotten that but the last four or so months of her life. But I wasn't to worry...

This troper was sleeping at a friend's house when she awoke in the middle of the night, quite alarmed, because aforementioned friend was almost sobbing 'I'm sorry I forgot the grapes, dad!' The next time she slept at my house, she yelled 'FUCK MY LIFE,' waking up this troper's sister in the process.

This troper's father has done some brilliant sleep-talking in his time; 'I'm bouncing around, give me a sandwich', 'Leave it alone, it's only a hat' and 'He's stealing my cellotape!'

This troper's roommate talks in his sleep from time to time. Usually it's just incoherent muttering, and sometimes it's in Thai, but from time to time he says something really funny in English. Most memorably, I walked into the room late one night to be greeted with 'Stay clean, stay dry...la li le li lo...'

This troper, after putting on a show involving a fireball on a chain (ItMakesSenseInContext, I swear) was left very dizzy. After a friend offered to help this troper back on his feet, pulled a Jayne Cobb, and started randomly grabbing at the air, and said something to the effect of "Oh, thank God! The Paladin is here!" Considering that the friend in question is very devoutly Christian, he was amused, confused, and bemused, all at once.

From Tropers/EverShadowGenesis:

Parallaxus: are there unicorns flying around my head...

Matthew: No one expects the Spanish Inquisi...

Johnson: I am a brave and gallant knight...

Ein Woe

I frequently have this happen when a) sleep deprived or b) whacked out on some sort of painkilling/sleep inducing prescription drug. Also there was the time with the Tylenol, but we won't talk about that...

This troper apparently holds resemblance to the queen, as her sleeping cousin sat straight up, looked at her, and bowed deeply while murmuring "Your Majesty" before falling flat on his back, out cold again.

This Troper once woke up her friend by shouting about fairies. Then another time, her friend woke this Troper up by asking what time it was. A lot.

At some point during this troper's drama club a few years ago, my teacher (a somewhat heavy man) slipped while demonstrating a skit and fell, toppling on top of me (a somewhat small 10 year old). I wasn't hurt, just knocked my head a little bit. Apparently when a friend rushed over and asked if I was okay, I replied: "Mah head's a tomato." I snapped out of it the second afterward, but it still gained some concerned looks (and a giggle or two) from the people around me. More recently, my little sister swears she heard me saying in my sleep, "Aslan! Not Haruhiiiiiii....!"

I have bad luck when it comes to sports injuries. If a sport requires a ball to play, said ball has hit me in the head at least once. The usual response is wither a dazed silence (or so I assume), or a 'Oww, my head', alongside my hearing disappearing and then fading back in. However, I had a decent one. Grade 11 gym class, we were practicing volleyball. I did a serve, watched my serve, and as I turn to the left, I get hit by a smash serve from across the gym, on a diagonal. The end result was me in the air, about 5-10 ft backwards before I hit a wall and slumped to the ground. Oddly enough, not a single person (including the person who was not a foot away from me when it happened) noticed the occurenc, and as such missed my one and only uttering of something of value: the classic "Did anybody get the license plate".

Though, in fashion with the rest of the posts above, I have been known to do the odd random sleep talk, including many I don't recall (doesn't help I say odd things anyways, the Cloudcuckoolander that I am), but the one I do involved myself having left my room, walked down a flight of stairs, and before entering the kitchen being questioned what I was doing. I responded "Making myself a SANDWICH!" before angrily stomping back to my room and continuing to sleep. Don't recall it at all.

Once, this troper was in the ER, and puked very unsettling colors all over the nurse. (I was VERY sick) At which point, I keeled over and said something to the effect of "help me I'm dying!" They finally had to knock me out with a shot of Demorol. In the butt. This troper doesn't remember this, but his father told him that after this, he rolled over, looked at the nurse, delirious with pain and drugs, and said, "...and you seemed so nice..." and passed out.

This troper once had a bad fever that left her near delirious for a while. Her mother woke her up that morning and this troper (who had been dreaming about HarryPotter for some reason) started muttering "he's here...Sirius Black...".

When this troper and her sister were woken up by an earthquake, we ran into our father's bedroom and tried to wake him up. First thing he says: "Channel 99, ding, ding, ding."

Before I was born, my mother and aunt picked up four hitchhikers while driving through Colorado. One of them stayed asleep for the whole drive, except when he once opened his eyes, sat bolt upright and screamed "SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" at the top of his lungs, then immediately went back to sleep. Another time, this troper had a dream that it was Christmas morning, and when she woke up she ran downstair and was very disappointed to not find a tree in the living room – it was the middle of May.

This troper was approached one day in the morning by his cousin about what "Hourai Doll" and "Imperishable Shooting" are. Apparently he was reciting a list of spell cards in IN extra stage while asleep.

This Troper has a brother with a horrible habit of babbling in his sleep. One memorable time, he said, in a very clear voice. "No thanks...I got enough to do...without taking you to the dance, Doc..." To this day, I have no idea what he could have been dreaming about.

This troper's sister recorded this troper sleep-talking. The most memorable one was babbling about brains, a tree, and ''don't poke it''.

A few years ago, after This Troper's family had to move across the country, her little sister started sleepwalking. It was impossible to ignore, due to the fact that they shared a room. Usually, she could be corralled back into her bed fairly quickly, but once made it all the way downstairs where their mother was still awake, and quite clearly said to both of them: "The vampires almost got me, but the angel led me away." She firmly denies any memory of such an event to this day.

This troper used to talk in her sleep, and a particularly famous (around her house, anyway) incident is when she started yelling about "the bugs on the wall".

This troper has one, she and her friend had gotten back from going to see Half Blood Prince, and had gone to sleep around one. Two or three hours later, I sit up and poke at my friend until she wakes up. The following conversation (That I have NO recollection of, thoughI wish I did...) takes place:

Me: Mandy! MANDY! - Mandy: Woah, what? - Me: I can't find my pants, I lost them! - Mandy: ...You're wearing a dress. - Me: They're goooooone! - Mandy: ...B-but you're wearing a DRESS. - Me: OH MY GOD. *dramatic pause* Harry Potter stole my pants. - Mandy: ...You're asleep. *rolls over*

I was once studying for a History test while beyond exhausted. The book mentioned something about the Mongols being from... Mongolia! Cue me saying "Well of course the Mongols were from Mongolia! It's in their freakin' name! What did you think they're from, Wisconsin?!" It would have been hilarious if I'd fallen asleep right then but I didn't. Though my mom urged me to after that.

One night a fan fell over in this troper's bedroom and apparently he told his mom not to mess with it because it always sounds that way when it's downloading. (Helps to know that said troper is a systems admin).

This troper once yelled at a friend for something said friend did in a dream the troper had. Of course, heavy medication was involved due to a bad cold...

This troper dreams in all three languages he speaks and sometimes in Sindarin, which he only halfway-speaks.

This troper learned how to play the Chapman Stick by watching a kid play one in the troper's dream. A friend of the troper's learned violin the same way.

This troper once woke up to her alarm clock, said, "Hello, Mr. Beep." and then fell back asleep.

This Troper posted this on her Facebook after six hours of doing finals papers:

walrus walrus my brain is fried oh walrus walrus tell me why Finals suck and so next spring I'll do it again; haven't learned a thing I dreamt of being so many things Now I write walrus poetry Please, God, bring the lightning.

I managed to take a bass amp to the face after losing balance when helping carry it down some stairs (just as painful as it sounds) and apparently spent the trip to hospital demanding to know whether my martini was in the trumpet case. I don't habitually drink martinis, nor do I own a trumpet, so... yeah.

I have apparently said some weird things in my sleep. Some of which include:

When I was younger, I said "No! My turn!"

Years later, I swung my feet out of bed and said "Can I give the dog a BJS?"

Sometime around then, I slightly sat up and said "East Carolina!"

I've once heard my sister talk in her sleep. She said "You can have the (inaudible) socks." I said "What?" She replied with "The (inaudible) socks."

Once, recently, I woke up, swung my feet out of bed and said "The platypus is..." and I don't know the rest.

A year ago, this troper woke up from a long nap, waddled over to a clock, muttered 'White Sausages', then promptly went back to bed, much to the confusion of my family members who were in the room that time...

This troper's friend does this all the time. The most notable example is, at age five, she sat up in bed (she was sleeping in her mother's bed at the time), pawed at the air, and slurred, "I gotta get those down... cuz they're... on fire."

While on many, ''many'' pain pills, this troper said in the most upbeat, giggly tone, "Doctor! How nice of you to… heh, that’s… toast. Mm, socky. Don’t try to—" then fell unconscious. They have it on video. It's hilarious.

While asleep my brother's friend's girlfriend said "Where's my four pennies?".

Apparently, one time, This Troper suddenly started laughing uncontrollably in my sleep, before calming down and becoming silent. My friend also told me once that he had a friend sleep over at his place once and shout out "LIGHTNING BLADE!" and thrust his arm upwards in his sleep. Then he muttered "Why didn't you die?" and became silent again. He told me about another time when his same friend shouted something else before waking up and asking if he just said that, but I don't remember what it was.

This troper's mother has been known to cuss in her sleep. One night she woke me up from the next room with a shouted F bomb and a few S grenades followed by chainsaw snoring. I asked her the next morning, "So, what were you dreaming about that you cussed for?". She claims she was having nice, happy dreams.

This troper once said "Butter is insoluable" in her sleep once. I was half awake, half asleep.

She has also said "I don't know" out loud in her sleep. (ItMakesSenseInContext of the dream)

This troper, possibly due to his chronic sleeping problems and strange dreams, talks in his sleep. One gem in particular elicited a question about it the next morning from another attendant at a week-long youth group retreat: "Unleash the quail."

This troper was once woken (in the afternoon) by his mother, who announced that she was leaving (don't remember where to). The following conversation went a bit like this: "Hmm...'kay...good luck with yer lesbian...escapades..." "...what?" "...nurrmind. *snore*"

This Troper and some friends were at a sleepover, when one of the others said "Thank you" in, and I quote "a tone as if she had just made a deal with the devil...like, she wasn't happy or sad, just...pleased."(quoting a friend)

This Troper is an insomniac, and has to take a rather large dose of Trazadone in order to get him to go to sleep. However, after years on being on the medication, he has built up an immunity with....strange results when he resists or gets woken up during a deep sleep. One evening, he was going to bathe and had taken the knockout drug an hour beforehand. After the shower, he blacked out due to the humidity and the meds swinging in full force. About 2 hours after the knockout, his parents came home and tried to open the door, which was locked. The mother yelled at him, but no answer came from the Troper. It took the father's ramming of the door to awaken the snoozing sod, only because the door whacked him across the head. His first words upon waking up and explaining what happened? "I was running!". Its been about 4 years and is STILL a family running-gag.
