We are a family of sleep-talkers.

It's so bad that you can actually hold a conversation with us when we're sleeping. This happened way back, I was taking a nap, my mom & some cousins were in the room and were talking when I asked "What's the limit of the sky?" My mom taken aback, "Huh!" I repeated the question, "What's the limit of the sky!" getting annoyed now. My mom realized then that I was talking in my sleep and simply replied, "Nothing! The sky has no limits." Somehow, I was irritated with this answer, "Never mind! Where's the bathroom." Mom said something like, "Open the door, it's the second door to your right." And I got up and went to the bathroom and did my business, all in my sleep.

G says that I sometimes speak in Tagalog or Bisaya in my sleep and that he would go, "What? In English?" and I would reply, "I said, blah blah blah blah blah."

G, on the other hand, when he talks in his sleep his usually dreaming about work or working in a car, so sometimes I'd ask him to clarify, and as he is explaining it to me, he'd wake up, look around and see me laughing silently and he'd get really upset and say, "Leave me alone!" and then he goes back to sleep.

For M, she could be laughing, giggling, crying, whining, or fighting with somebody. I think she dreams about recess, all the time.

But, last night, I woke up to me and M having a conversation. I can't remember how it went or what it was about, it was something like, I asked her to do something, and then she asked what that something was, and I explained it to her and then I woke up and she was saying, "Oh! Ok." She was sound asleep.
