Gray Fox, definitely scary and potentially not safe, but I'm hoping you're right about the rate of occurence.

Dubai Jazz, thanks! I could do with a laugh, so what about a few stories from your side? :))

Omar, I've read tens of articles on the subject since, and there are differing views on waking up sleep walkers. I think, based on what I've read, not waking sleep walkers is more for the sake of the person waking them. Sleep walkers MAY react aggressively or put up resistance to being restrained while being awoken and so its better to avoid a potential difficult situation. Plus its also hard to wake them up, because they're in a deep sleep stage. So the recommendation is to take them back to bed as gently as possible, and let them wake up on their own in the morning.

you know, it's interesting but i was having a discussion with my friend about the same thing a few days ago.. we were talking about sleep walking and how it's the ultimate expression of instinct vs. consciously-made decisions.. now you proved my point with your story. that our instinct-induced reactions are not entirely primitive and is not exactly a slightly higher level of an animal suvival instinct..

now if you don't mind me asking, I know that waking up a sleep walker can be potentially dangerous, i just never found out why.. cos obviously from your story, you were aware of your environment and surrounding (of its sensory input at least), so what's dangeorus about bringing someone out of that state?

Hi Lujayn;
Sorry to hear about that, my guess it is because of stress ..
You would get a laugh at what I usually do (voluntarily or not) when I am stressful!
But the difference is that you had the courage to tell them...
Anyway, milk is good, messages are good... anything that can bring the stress and the blood pressure down ...
Give me a buzz if you need to talk it out :)
And enjoy your vacation....

that was scary, and surely not safe, if it went beyond the limit :)
sleep walking was explained in lots of spiritual , social , psychological methodologists
but since it happened only twice in a long period of time, and since it crossed your conscience and subconscience then probably it's just a stressful era of time for ya :)

I've starting making fun myself, so its ok :))

I think it was more fatigue and stress than anything I ate. I have been juggling a zillion things lately (ahead of our bike trip in 10 days) and getting very little sleep. I read up on sleep-walking (somnambulism) and it seems fatigue and stress are major triggers.

But I recognize those dreams that happen after a late, heavy meal :)) Very colorful, very eventful, very easily forgotten.

Lujayn
It must be scary you're right, so I'll refrain from saying anything funny.
But, what did you have for dinner? it could be something you ate or drank that triggered this occult episode.
When I eat late, I don't get as far as sleepwalking but it's the only time I get to dream. Usually my dreams are senseless and I forget them immediately upon waking up.
Have some milk, I suggest. Milk is good for you.
