last night I almost sleep puked...

bleegh...
I've done that hundreds of times... it's annoying... Waking up, thinking you're about to drown in your own vomit...

I hate acid reflux...
that's exactly what it was.

Apparently I shouldn't eat Frito's anymore before bed, lol

**** Builder.. scary.. glad it turned out ok..

Ya know.. it's weird.. I don't think I've ever heard a "man/women dies or is badly hurt in sleepwalking incident".. but maybe they just don't know that's what happened.. I wonder.

Some of your sisters practiced kissing on you and while you were asleep? Well that's a little disturbing:p

I am glad you are okay and alive to tell your latest adventure of sleepwalking though, Builder.
The seventies were what we called "liberated" for women, but we were just young kids.

It did **** me off when they told me, and that's probably why they did it. They said they were trying to figure out if was acting like I was sleep-walking, so they kissed me. Weirdos. <_<

Actually wez, there are not a few cases of spousal murder blamed on somnambulism. How hard would that be for a judge to make sense of?

Somnambulism....now that word is stuck in my brain.
Reminds me of a thread I started on GF called Vocabulary Improvements. Before your time emkay, but it wasn't what you'd think. Kinda fun, as I remember.

Snafu and RaE might remember it. :lol:

Whoops, triple post. Bump.

I remember getting flack from a few of the old crew about it. Truth was, it was in the top three popular threads, and headed the google search for the same name for six months. :lol:

After I posted that I googled and saw some of that.. no doubt about the judge making sense of it.. is it true or a dandy excuse? I don't really see how a judge could say.. yeah.. ok.. you're free to go.. even it was true.

But it does happen, meaning the judge is convinced. But imagine waking up after committing murder? :unsure: Kinda makes nearly killing yourself a tad lame.

No but I've had some pretty vivid dreams before. A few weeks ago I actually cried in my sleep and started doing the serenity prayer. That was pretty bizarre! I'll leave out the rest of the dream..
Snafu, I had a dream that you and I were in heaven just hanging out and drinking beers and watching over people we cared about. That was about a week ago. Tell us yours - please.

I knew what the word meant right away because the word commonly used for this in Spanish is sonambulismo.

Okay, second episode of somnambulating in the dark. Happened about seven years ago on my return from Australia's wild and wooly Northern Territory, back to Queensland.

My then gf convinced me to head back east, and against my wishes, I packed up and left. Did my usual, and exited in the wee small hours, for an all day haul. Had driven for eleven hours, and was trying to make it to Mt. Isa, but about fifty miles out, a large barn owl flew across the windscreen, and collected my driver's side rearview mirror, sending shards of glass across my face and into the car.

Decided the time to stop was now, so I found a short track off the road, and set up the gas cooker to make a feed. All I had was a rack of lamb, so while it was cooking, had a few lagers, rolled out the swag, and prepared for sleep.

The moon was setting, and the night was warm, being mid-summer, and about a week before christmas. I ate the lamb, along with some steamed potato and broccoli.

Fell asleep without any probs at all after a mammoth drive and a good feed.

Woke up neck deep in water, not knowing where the flock I was, nor what the flock I was doing there. Noticed I had one thong(rubber sandal) on, and was fully dressed, which I was not when I went to bed. I usually sleep in my reg grundies only in summer.

Took a look around, and could make out a treeline behind me. The water was warmer than the air, so I wasn't in the least bit cold. Made it back to the bank of the creek, and tried to scramble up the bank. It was that yellow clay that is about as slippery as a used car salesman. Had to find some grass and low shrubs to drag myself out on.

Next question was, "where the flock is my truck?" Had to bash through the scrub, scratchiing the sh t out of my arms, to bounce out onto the road. Next question? Which way is my truck?

Tossed a mental coin in my head, and went left. I figured I'd walked about half a mile before I stopped to make a decision to turn back the other way. It was then I saw a dim white shape off in the distance. I kept going, hoping it was my canoe on top of the trailer. Goddammit. Found it.

Celebrated with a drink of water, and a ciggie. Promptly tied myself to the trailer with rope, and settled onto my swag again.

Yeah, not as life-threatening as the first episode I related, but pretty bizzare, considering Mt Isa is in the middle of desert country, and I'd found the only water course for a hundred miles. When I checked the map, I had walked in a direct line back the way I'd come, like as the crow flies.

Funny thing, the subconscious. :(
