No, seriously. That bit between being awake and falling asleep.

What weird things happen to you?

I say weird stuff.

My then partner, awake:

"One day I'll die of something horrible".

Me, in a profoundly hypnagogic state:

"No you won't. I'm fitting a draught excluder to the kitchen door"*.

🤷🤷🤷

*There is nothing in this universe that links my reply sensibly to her statement. Nor was I fitting any draught excluders anywhere, then or now.

It certainly lifted her from her hormonal and slightly dark mood - she was crying and shaking with laughter for the next 20 minutes 💁‍♂️.

So I suppose I did a good thing xx

I do whole sentences though. They make perfect sense in terms of nouns, verbs etc.

They just...make no sense sense 🫤.

Do you "come back into the room" and act on the horniness?

Or do a strange horny disappearance into sleep?

I feel paralysed, trying to move or jostle myself out of that intermediate state, but unable to. I either fall back into my slumber or awaken. Usually the latter. It's not pleasant.

That genuinely sounds unpleasant. I wouldn't enjoy it. Sorry you go through that Nero.

My husband does this and it absolutely cracks me up.

I've had ;

"Stop looking at me like that I'm not touching you" (I had shook him because he was snoring)

"I need to park the tractor in the shed it's raining " (we don't own a tractor)

"I can't hear you I'm in France"

(He has never been in France)

"Noooo! This is not my bed!!"

(It was his bed)

This is a regular occurrence in this house🤣

She would do the same to me. Gathered about 4 or 5 classic "wtf!"s and another dozen that were quite funny.

I can't remember any now apart from "I'm dying/draught excluder will save you" though .

So if, for example, I had said your "put down my pineapple" one - there would have been ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT in my mind, as I said it, that I had a real pineapple. It was mine, and I was proud of that. And someone had taken it! How dare they! Did they ask? No they didn't!

So put down my pineapple!

And often, I'd realise I said something bonkers, and catch myself with a "wtf did I just say" and look at her...and we'd both die in tears of laughter.

It's so.....real.

And so mad xx

I’ve never personally experienced the pre-slumber paralysis Nero mentioned thankfully, rather the unpleasantness for me is mainly derived from being pulled out from this beautiful, dreamlike state by jolting myself awake ☹️

Are you about to fall out of bed?

Or is it the transition between "heavy consciousness" and "weightless unconsciousness" and your consciousness catches a moment of confusion/mismatch before it could let go fully?

Also - Willy mentioned something.

Not only can the person say something bonkers, but if you catch them right, you can then get 3 or 4 sentences out of them explaining that bonkers, with even more bonkers sentences that don't relate to each other (but make perfect sense to the person saying them...somehow)

My late wife used to do this sort of thing a lot. But the episode that sticks in my mind was actually perpetrated by me. We hadn't been living together long and one half asleep evening, falling asleep in bed, she mischievously asked me what I was getting her for her birthday. I told her it was a gold necklace with diamonds. She asked how I was going to pay from it , and I told her I'd sell my car. 😳

She thought it was hilarious and used to bring it up regularly. 🤣

I think being ill was responsible for the weirdness in that particular case, Nicky. Normally it's trauma-free things like "the kittens have climbed the curtains again!" when I don't have any kittens.

When my kids were very young and both fast asleep they would talk to each other in a non-existant language across the landing.

This sort of thing fascinates me.

Twins in particular are famous for it. Are they twins too?

I bet you and their Mum couldn't stop smiling to yourselves - it's impossibly cute 🤗🤗🤗.

No, seriously. That bit between being awake and falling asleep.

What weird things happen to you?

I say weird stuff.

My then partner, awake:

"One day I'll die of something horrible".

Me, in a profoundly hypnagogic state:

"No you won't. I'm fitting a draught excluder to the kitchen door"*.

🤷🤷🤷

*There is nothing in this universe that links my reply sensibly to her statement. Nor was I fitting any draught excluders anywhere, then or now.

The only time I’ve acted anything out was once I tried to hug and kiss a surgeon as he woke me up from surgery. It was nearly 30 years ago and the semi memory still cripples me with embarrassment "

You may have been embarrassed, but he wanked out on the memory of it for years!! xxxx

I'm going to evaluate your sub conscious, you were dreaming about your drafty old house that needs so many improvements including the drafts and were mid flow of fitting it (in your dream you're a professional) she somehow woke you up saying " I'm going to die of something horrible " you however replied with " the draft excluder repair thingy"So my evaluation ,you were not concerned about your wife's horrible death but more concerned about your cold feet .

My cure wear thick socks around the house .

Nice theory...but my flat is too warm if anything (windows open most of the time).

Plus I prefer to have cold feet.

Aaaand....I was clearly concerned about her welfare - my draught excluder was going to save her 🙃🙃🙃

I feel like I’m missing out. I’ve never experienced this, either myself or with a partner. I have always been fascinated by the concept of sleep paralysis though. Have you heard about the old lady sitting on your chest and suffocating you, while a little boy cries in corner? Unconnected people all over the world have experienced the same thing in that state. Weird!!

I have heard of them now you’ve mentioned it.

And, if it's that shared, that fits very nicely in with Carl Jung's theories of archetypes and the collective unconscious.

Which is a large part of my thinking/work over the last 15 years (Jung, Pauli, Bohm...I'll bore you more if you want...but run away now. It's safer )
