Snoring being a given....
I have a vague memory of having a weird dream last night, shouting "Who are you?" in the dream, sleepily wondering if I'd said it out loud, then going back to sleep.
Apparently I had shouted in my sleep - a first I think - woken up MrsMC who slapped me, then I rolled over and started snoring, causing her to give up and get up and go downstairs just before 5am, while I slept in till 7.
I'm not saying the atmosphere is frosty, but I nearly posted this on the menopause thread....
What have you done?
Ive done nothing but did once stopp my ex wife from sleepwalking out of the front door with the car keys in her hand 😳
Farting so loudly in bed that MrsNobbingsford could here it from downstairs. Whilst I took that as a compliment, she apparently hadn't meant it in that way...
Not in my sleep but my ex wife once stopped speaking to me for 3 weeks because of something I'd done in her dream!
She still won't tell me what it was 25 years later. 😂
It didn’t affect anyone else but I took a big chunk out of my tongue last night. Woke up in pain with a mouthful of blood. It’s really sore this morning.
Laughing too loud when Mrs FH farted so loud,she woke herself up.
😆 🤣
In my dreams, I'm able to wheelie brilliantly. Wish I could do that now I'm awake.
Playing football in my dreams and played a cracking crossfield pass only to be woken up by my wife as its her I've kicked her. She had the bruise to show for it.
roughly 20 years ago I jumped out of bed punched my girlfriend in the mouth and stood at the end of the bed in fighting stance wondering wtf had just happened.
thankfully I'd pulled it as soon as it made contact so she just had a bit of a fat lip. in my defence I was fighting in a lot of tournaments at the time so was a bit wired....
caused massive paranoia it might happen again but never did. we've been married 13 years now!
Two incidents at quite different ends of the spectrum...
On the last night of our honeymoon, my wife had to shepherd me back into our room when I'd been apparently walking the corridors of the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong completely starkers. She brings this up frequently at dinner parties.
When I was 15 my mum was in the last stages of terminal cancer, trying to keep living my life (it had been a long journey) I went on a summer trip to visit my cousins in the states. When the plane landed, the woman sitting next to me asked if everything was ok. I said "yeah fine". She told me that I'd woken her up in the middle of the flight to tell her that my mum had just died. When I got through security, my cousins were waiting to pick me up and tell me that she had indeed died during the night.
Not me, but my ex-forces submariner brother nearly suffocated his wife trying to put 'her breathing apparatus' on her due to whatever incident was happening in his dream. Apparently he was pushing down on her face really hard onto the pillow and shouting that she needed to get it on. That must have been scary.
I've woken up a few times in a mood with my wife due to something horrible she's done to me in a dream 🤣 To be clear she's not at all nasty and I love her to bits!

Snap! Grumpy with me for days because apparently I'd cheated on her in her dream.
I'm often in trouble for cheating on my other half in her dream.
I think being in trouble for stuff she's dreamed is fairly routine now. If she knew what I did in MY dreams, then I'd really be in trouble.
Sleep twitches - I seem to go through phases of this, however I also am old so regularly have 40 winks in my chair of an evening or weekend. And while a sleep twitch in bed causes great annoyance for waking her up, one that i do in the chair particularly with a sleep shout (they often seem to involve falling or tripping over) seems to be the funniest thing alive, as I startle myself awake too and then wonder what happened.
Saying an ex girlfriends name. That’s it, no context, I just said ‘Sue’ apparently. Of course, in my GFs mind, I still have feelings for her now.
Then, a few weeks ago, I said ‘have you got the dog in?’ . We havent got a dog. But Sue has. That didnt go down well either.
Oh, and Sue was 13 years ago. Ive seen her maybe 4 times since shopping etc. But my GF is now convinced I’m seeing her.
Dreamt I was fighting with a bouncer in a night club, my punches were just softly glancing off his face, so I grabbed both his ears and gave him the old Glasgow Kiss.
It was the contact with the head that woke me from the dream, a really sickening crack. Well, that and the screams
Took about 2 days to convince my GF (now wife) about the dream
My wife was mad with me one morning, I'd apparently done something, then she realised it was a dream.

definitely kicked a wall in a similar situation
Recently dreamt that the GF decided to adopt a couple of kids. Was fun for a bit before I had this feeling my life was over and I was no longer able to do what I wanted.
Odd feeling of resentment towards her before I realised it was just a dream.
I’ve done quite a bit of the pissed/naked/sleepwalking thing in hotels, usually urinating in some odd places - wardrobes are a favourite. 😳
Dreams are odd because they can feel real. Not really what the OP asked but a few days ago I dreamt that there was a burglar with a huge knife in our bedroom, I jumped out of bed and tackled him and was trying not to get stabbed when I woke up IRL from a massive adrenaline dump. Logically I know it's just my brain plain silly buggers but it left me shook up for most of the morning.
Got back into the wrong bed in a twin room I was sharing (not coincidentally for the last time) with a ski buddy.
Pissed in the bin (that was in the exact same relative location to my bed as the toilet had been the previous week) in a shared room on a skiing holiday, where I didn't know any of my room mates.
After that, when I dreamt at an ex-girlfriend's house that I'd pissed all over her sideboard, I was very relieved to find that it was completely dry the next morning.
Those were all over a decade ago, so fingers crossed.
Current sleep science thinking is that dreams are our way of processing memories and emotions, moving them from our immediate to our long term memory and giving us some distance from them.
Therefore if we're woken in our dreams, although we may know that they're not real, the emotions generated very much are.
It also explains why, if you've had alcohol the night before it can be quite hard to let go of things, and if you've had a skinful, you can feel the fear.
Pissed in the bin
An ex's dad's party trick after a few beers was to sleepwalk and piss into his slippers. His wife would tell us the next day "for god's sake, Keith was in the wardrobe again last night."
Glad I'm not the only one getting grief for my extra-martial excursions, which only happen in her dreams/nitemares. She woke up told me about it then punched me...
She woke up told me about it then punched me…
Just imagine if the roles were reversed in that situation?
My mrs was angry with me one morning because i'd been talking in my sleep about a girl called Elaine. If she'd not misheard and had known I was dreaming about a girl called Helen she'd have been ****ing livid 🙂
Never subjected my OH to GBH thankfully (beyond the usual twitch kicks) but I have been given an earful for groping her in my sleep. Not so much for the groping part as opposed to waking her up.

I think you should correct her and film the reaction.
About 30 years ago, living with gf who would become wife, I'd had a boozy night out with the boys, then came home and smoked (my last ever) jazz fag.
The dream I had was of wallpapering the bedroom then peeling it all off again to find the door so I could go to the loo.
In reality I had only peeled off one whole strip then stepped out and pee'd down from the top stair. She still married me though.

Surely you could have just said Sue is boy
In about 2003 I had a flat of my own in the centre of a quaint market town. Much boozing happened, but I’d normally try to constrain things on a Friday night to keep things even for rugby on Saturday.
One Friday I must have let my guard down. I woke up stupidly late on Saturday morning with wet sheets. Assuming I had sweated a lot I stripped the bed, but then I opened the blanket chest which held most of my clothes… how on earth had I sweated in there as well?
Pissed up the gas fire in my mum's caravan.

Did you have to burn it?
One morning many years ago after I woke Julie said " are you going to clean up that mess?" I was very confused until she told me I had got up in the middle of the night and pissed in the wastepaper basket
According to mrs b the "Incessant breathing in and out."
I don't have to be asleep for my wife to find my continued existence beyond exasperating at times. On days like that not only is breathing contentious, the way I didn't breathe would also be.
Fortunately those days are rare and most of the time I score somewhere beyond tolerable, sometimes verging on likeable, always with a side of too late to do anything about now anyway 😉

Oh, that's apparently the other thing I do in my sleep, just stop breathing for a bit. Which is better than her, she just doesn't breathe at all.
One night MrsP was dreaming she was driving a car and went for a big gear change. What she was holding was NOT a gearstick.
I assume you tried to convince her she was on a long, winding country road with lots of changes needed rather than try to wake her up?

I'd been playing tennis, did an ace serve & consequently belted my gf in the stomach
That was clearly your fault.
Under-rated comment.
There’s a great clip on the Daily Mash about a woman who couldn’t forgive her husband for something he did in her dream. Wish I was clever enough to post it up.
Not sure if I did it wrong, but I did sleepwalk off the roof of a first floor flat, landing on a concrete path, whilst on holiday. Suffered a lot of broken bones/injuries, still have no recollection of the incident but still suffer from the injuries 30 years later. Something that makes me both smile and wince at the same time.
