Merry Meet Folks,

This is my first post on this forum. I stumbled across the post about the Hiroshima shadows and have been hooked ever since. There are lots of great stories here and it would seem quite alot of rather intelligent people discussing them which i like.

Anyways before i babble on anymore.

I was wondering if anyone on the forum has ever had an experience like the one I am about to explain and what are your thoughts on this?

So it started (and ended) about three years ago. I used to look after my sisters son JT who at the time was about 6 years old and on one occasion I had put him to bed earlier in the night but a few hours later as I passed his room I could hear him speaking. I went into the room to check on him but he was sound asleep. As I went to leave the room he started speaking again but to my surprise it sounded like he was speaking in some sort of arabic/oldy worldy (sorry cant put it into words) language.

I thought this was a bit odd and said to him what? what are you saying wee man? and again he started speaking back to me in this odd language. He was definitely sleeping so I guess he was just talking in his sleep but strangely the words he was saying didn't just sound like gibberish but actually sounded like someone speaking a foreign language. This really intrigued me and I continued to ask him question and he continued to reply to me whilst still sleeping.

Even stranger still is that when he was a baby I used to always joke with my sister that he spoke Arabic when he was first starting to speak, you know that way when they just babble but don't actually say real words but his babbling always sounded arabic to me. I never really thought anything of this at the time as it was after all just baby babbling but after hearing him speak like this in his sleep many years later it got me thinking.

Anyways he has never done it again since then and is just a normal everyday 9 year old boy now.

I have had different thoughts about what this may be but i'll let you guys have a natter over it first and see if anyone else comes up with the same suggestions that I have.

Apologies if this is in the wrong thread but this forum is pretty massive and this seemed like the most logical place to put it.

People talking in their sleep, I've got a couple friends who still do that... I can even talk to them while their asleep, and they will be off in their own little world, and I'll even tell them their suroundings and tell them whats about to happen, and they end up dreaming it!!!

As for kids and talking in their sleep IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES no, I'm sorry I have not experienced that...

Though a good theory (non scientific) would be that a ghost had visited him in his dream, where though to the boy he the ghost was speaking english, it was speaking arabic, then to reply the boy spoke back in english but not knowingly said arabic... To bad you did not google what he was saying to find out what he was saying

Here mate, are you sure he wasn't just doing a Rab C Nesbitt impression, would be easy to see how you could get them confused Only raking. Thats mad, that would of freaked the knikcers off me. My wee boy is nearly 3, his mummy died when he was only 8 months old but he still knows who she is and knows her voice even though i put her pictures away because it was too hard to move on.

Best of luck

No wonder humanity is in the dire straits it is. Y'all don't even know what happens when you sleep. There have been people to say that your body repairs itself when you sleep. No, it does that when you are conscious. When you sleep, your body is silent. For example, when you are typing on a keyboard, the thought of every word is transmitted down the nerves to the fingers to the certain letter and it types the word. Your body is doing the speaking.
When you sleep, that physical part is like on stand-by. You scare somebody awake and you may have to deal with some problems.
It's like when somebody gets knocked unconscious. They understand everything you say to them and when they become conscious it is like a battery; they will respond. Everything that is put into the brain is transmitted into energy and stored.
Ok, when a child is asleep, the energy that was in his body and in his brain is now in the brain; explosive energy. The brain does not know what the body can tell it when it is asleep. When a child is asleep, he has very little knowledge, no bank to create dreams; it's just open energy. And whatever you say to the child will be taken as the truth and incorporated into the mind energy. In anybody's brain without the discriminative part of the body; the sight, the smell, the sound, the feeling, etc. everything is equal to everything else and everything is true. That is why maternity wards in a hospital are silent, Shhhhh. You know, if they had large loud speaker in the maternity ward and over the speakers come, 'Doctor Kildare to the Emergency Room stat!' there would be so many people now flooding that Emergency Room. Wait! That's happening isn't it? That gets into something else though.

[Paranormalcy]

The body doesn't repair itself while asleep, and the reason there aren't loudspeakers in maternity wards is so the babies won't have negatively-influenced dreams?

I'm not sure I have the incentive to address this except to say: 1 - how did you arrive at this, and 2 - I thought it was so they wouldn't wake up and be all scared?

There was another thread on this onc,e and reference to the scientific name and explanation for this. It is a well known and documented phenomena. Ill check and see if i can find it

Yep its called somniloquy and you can check it out via google.
This is one site

Your body does not repair itself when it sleeps? Where would that come from? If it repairs itself when it sleeps why do you go into a coma in a brain injury, why don't your neurons accessively missfire and burn out your brain? Or why do you grow more when you sleep then awake?

Sorry but that just does not fit, your body being inactive makes the rest of your body able to function easier because there is less stress on your body, even less movement itself.

If you look at it biologicaly your heart rate reduces a lot while in a deep sleep, do you think that it is enough for your blood to stop pumping and deliver antibodies to wherever is needed? Or what about when you are sick, why do you heal and become better when you sleep more?

Though what you are describing with your body being silent it is accurate, but not entirely. Where yes you are using nerves and muscles to function daily, it does not mean when you are sleeping you no longer use them. If that would be the case why would you be cold while sleeping? How could you wake up by hearing something, feeling something?

Um... if it is any help people have told me I tend to speak a strange langua when I sleep.
Don't know much about it though, and no one has actually seen me do it, but my parents told me I tend to scream in that langua.

Not that I believe I would speak another langua in my sleep, but I now live alone, so no one is around to tell me anymore. If I was able to, I would try to tape the sounds at night to see if I really do talk.

I don't really know what it might be, but it is a strange thing.
And I don't know why people talk in sleep and why others don't... but maybe it is something that happens if your not really relaxed or that something is bothering one. Or maybe it's just that the brain is unable to make the lips stop moving as well as the body.

Maybe it was payback for joking with your sister?
