So what in the world is Somniloquy? It literally means “sleep talking”. Since I am quite the light sleeper I am often awakened by some voices (not in my head) making nonsense conversation. Last night I was awakened by tiny footsteps headed through my door, I usually can tell which child it is coming. Well, Jacob was quite annoyed that Caleb had eaten all of his ice. ?? Well of course he must have been dreaming. Then Chris blurts out that "the building is going down". I replied "what building"? "The temple". Now before falling asleep I was engaged in my current novel about the gathering of the saints in the last days (very hard to put down). So I was a little paranoid by his statement. I then said "By who"? "The attackers" was the reply. Yes, I can sometimes have a conversation in this state. I then said "are you playing a game? Yes. was the reply. I then thought maybe I could use this to my advantage and told him to lay off the games for awhile - Hehehe. I am sure there are some fun instances to talk about but most are forgotten by morning. Although, the best senario I will never forget, because I couldn't stop laughing, was when Chris woke me up by saying "can you do this?". I said "what" trying to figure out if this was a real conversation. Then he said it again "can you do this?" "Do what?" I asked. He said "Jump". I said "can I jump?" Still trying to figure this out in my sleepy state. Then he said "like this" and literally jumped, kicking his feet, pushing up, and shaking the whole bed. I thought I can't forget to tell him about this in the morning!
Caleb once blurted out in his sleep "I don't want Jacob". Well, I giggled knowing that Jacob was always the instigator constantly bugging Caleb by putting his feet on him etc. just to get a reaction. Yes, it started at 9 months. He would grab Caleb's feet pulling him off the couch and sitting on his head.

Here is an interesting fact by sleepdex.org:
Sleep talking can occur at any point in the sleep cycle. The lighter the sleep, the more intelligible the speech. In stages 1 and 2, people may have entire conversations while asleep. In stages 3 and 4, somniloquy may be restricted to moans and gibberish.
Popular myth associates sleep talking with dreams. While it is possible to talk in REM sleep, it isn't as likely as at other stages. During REM, our body undergoes temporary paralysis: a safety mechanism designed to prevent us from acting out our dreams and hurting ourselves. This paralysis usually includes the jaw and speech mechanisms.
