Speaking in Tongues
I have a recurring dream. Well actually it's the theme that recurs, the dream differs. At some point in the dream (usually it's what wakes me up) I try to talk or even scream and I cannot make a sound. My mouth opens and my throat does all the things it would normally do but nothing emerges except a faint croak like a victim of severe laryngitis.
As I say, this usually wakes me and I know as I wake that I have actually been trying to speak or scream in my sleep but (and I imagine the neighbours are glad of this) I haven't been able to.
This has always fascinated me and I would dearly love to be able to watch myself have one of these dreams.
My kids both talk in their sleep. I was watching TV one night a few years ago, when I heard them talking and off I went to tell them to get back into bed. Only they were, they were both in their respective beds but both bedroom doors were open and they were having a conversation in their sleep. Neither was making any sense nor were the things they were saying connected but they were responding to each other. In their sleep, they knew someone was talking and they were answering but in two different conversations. Amazing!
