After finally getting K to sleep, I climb into bed next to her.
"Mmm""Hi there""Are you an ice cream?"For a second I think she's hinting at something... Nope, she's asleep and thinks I'm a walking, talking ice cream.

I slept over on a sofa at a friend's house and when they came in the room, apparently I blurted out "OF MICE AND MEN!"

Took me ages to find this thread. I keep thinking about it now I've discovered I have a rampantly florid sleeptalker for a partner. This morning I sat up and sneezed and muttered that it might be hayfever. He informed me "no, its catbus." Five minutes later he sat up, looked confused and said "aw - catbus just left the bed!". Then he told me he was having sausages.
He frequently hums tunes, and once blurted out "BABY COME BACK" (as in, the Player song). He often goes on about numbers, or levels, and if I ever ask him what he said he retorts "I dont KNOWWW!" in this grumpy voice. It is hilarious.

He has bad sleep apnoea so i think that adds to it, as it semi-wakes him constantly. I've been recording him, its gold.
xpost hahah yes he was so sad!

My boyfriend woke up and started talking to me in Polish last week. Also this, from months ago:
C, asleep in a chair: "What did you do with the sticks?"Me: "The sticks?"C: "The sticks I gave you."M: "What sticks?" C: "The sticks I made you, for the fence."M: "What fence?"
We never figured out what fence.

My bf seems obsessed with cats in his sleep haha.
I accidentally semi woke him the other day to be greeted with this frightening grin, and then he said "did you see it? The cat? How cool is the cat!?"
When he woke properly he was all "it was a big ginger tabby!"

I haven't had new material for this in a while - I guess she's mellowing. However, I realized I never posted one of my favorites, which I think may actually have been the first instance of this in our relationship, back when she was about to finish her degree:
H (very agitated): I'm worried about my boobipoo!Me: Your what?!H: My diploma!Me: Why are you worried about your diploma?H: I'm worried it doesn't say my name! I think it says something else!Me: What do you think it says?H: Boobipoo!

A Catholic friend today is to undergo an exorcism at 3:30 Eastern. She has been through all the psychiatric diagnostics the Church requires. This is real. This is a horrifying situation, like something out of the movies. Her husband asked me to beg your prayers.— Rod Dreher (@roddreher) November 15, 2018

The book Hostage to the Devil is crammed with useful info. How can you tell if you have a demon? "Violent physical transformations seem sometimes to make the lives of the possessed akind of hell on earth. Their normal processes of secretion and elimination are saturated with inexplicable wrackings and exaggeration."

Actually thinking about how fucked this exorcism shit is. This is most likely a woman with schizophrenia or some other mental condition that leads to her not sharing consensus reality, shall we say, and they're telling her "it's because you're possessed by a malevolent supernatural force", should be criminalized tbh.

Mind you, Nathan is one of the least woo-woo friends I have. Again, he works as what you might call a “symbolic analyst” in a very worldly occupation, and lives in one of the biggest and most secular cities in America. He’s been a faithful Catholic for as long as I’ve known him, but not especially interested in that mystical side of the faith.“Once you’ve seen reality through the eyes of spiritual warfare,” he told me yesterday, “you can’t go back. It’s everywhere.”He told me other detailed stories, including accounts of bizarre, poltergeisty things happening in their apartment, and his wife being unable to stand the presence of blessed objects (a classic sign of possession). Again, readers: if you knew these people, Nathan and his wife, you would be even more shocked by all this than you are now. This is the kind of family that takes European vacations, and lives a sophisticated cosmopolitan life. And yet this horror has overtaken them. The wife goes through periods in which she hears foul blasphemies, and feels compelled to commit suicide. In the exorcism sessions, Nathan says the demons, under compulsion from the exorcist, speak of these things — in particular, how they intend to destroy Nathan’s wife, and her family life.
