Recently my new partner said to me that i talk a lot in my sleep.  She explained to me that it was not in English.  I did not believe her, so she recorded me, at least three times per night i say sentences in different languages which i do not understand, which came as a massive shock.  I have recorded five evenings of my sleep, hours and hours of snoring (to my shame) and now feel safe in saying that what you read above is true.   Has anyone else experienced this or heard of anything similar???

Sounds middle eastern in origin.  I speak arabic, greek, latin, and some hebrew.  Doesn't sound like a romance language (greek/latin origin).  Some of the pronuciations sound like hebrew or arabic, but aren't either.  I'm guessing aramaic, but it's purely a guess as I speak very very little (like three phrases) of aramaic.

Eh...just sounds like your talking in your sleep. I know I scared a buddy of mine when I crashed at his house for the night. He said I kept a full conversation with myself in gibberish!!

Whatever it is, it is the same language my own husband has spoken in his sleep more than once. I never got it recorded though.
The first time he did it he yelled like a crazy person which woke me up and his excited babbling then caused me to quickly remove myself from the area to the next room.
Each time he seemed to be upset and speaking with someone he hated or feared.
His sons also heard him the last time he did it.

This is interesting to me that you do this also.

I have a strange ?, are you under alot of pressure lately?

[bLu3 de 3n3rgy]

It's like you don't have full control or movement of your mouth/tounge as you are asleep but not deeply enough to prevent you from actually talking out loud. So comes out in a babble.

I find talking in your sleep is better than grinding your teeth in your sleep. I had a friend that ground his teeth in his sleep when I crashed at his place, I could hear it clear across the room. It was one of those extreme cringe moments.

I have a very sweet, and "proper Englishman" stepfather, that my mom married when I was in my late 20's.  He has talked in Russian, and other languages in his sleep, according to my mom.  She found out that he has Russian family, as well as the English.  He looked into it, and found out that there is something about us retaining "Cell Memories" from our ancestors.  I am not completely sure what this means, but I guess we can have memories stored in our actual cells in our body, from the generations of family before us.  We can have dreams and things that happen in with our subconsiousness because of it?  Maybe someone else knows more about this?

I don't know a whole lot about this, but I have read that there is ongoing scientific research into this.....a so-called "memory gene" that is passed on from generation to generation.

I have friends who speak in many "strange languages" while sleeping. One is a strange mix of German and, I swear it, Japanese.

In my own dreams, I only speak in French, which makes me wonder that if I were to speak in my sleep, if it would come out, also, in French.
It seems very possible.

Perhaps everyone should record themselves sleeping.

phew! thanks carey, you really really must record yourself asap! i have been speaking like this for years and just ignored comments from past partners (i dont believe in this stuff, right?) but when i heard myself i got a real fright.. then different reactions from people listening to the recordings as well...i'm relieved to hear i'm not alone
