Periodically, Big Bore talks in his sleep and I try to engage him in conversation to delve deeper into his dream world. This morning's chit-chat went as follows:
Sleep Talking BB: How much do I owe you?---Nothing yet.
Me: Owe who?
BB: (garbled) Schlu dog.
Me: Snoop Dogg? Snoopy?
BB: No.
Me: Lassie?
BB: No.
Me: Rin-Tin-Tin?
BB: No. Computer Dog.
Me: Computer Dog?
BB: Yeah.
Me: Who's Computer Dog?
BB: I don't know.
End of conversation. When he awakened thirty minutes later, I asked him if he remembered his dream about Computer Dog.
BB: Sort of. He was an animated character driving a little car.
Me: Is there really such a cartoon?
BB: Well, yeah. (duh) In my dream.
This got me to thinking that Big Bore had come up with an idea for the next cartoon great. Computer Dog!!! A mild-mannered bloodhound by day who repairs computer glitches, but, by night, a caped super sleuth who sniffs out cyber crime and puts the megabyte on bad guys. Identity thieves, sexual predators, eBay scammers. He'll have a sidekick named Mouse and a girlfriend, Cookie. You just wait. It'll be a sensation. Remember where you heard the idea first.

My sister used to talk in her sleep all the time. We shared a room and I would hear the craziest stuff. Some times she would walk in her sleep too. I know she still talks, Brian makes fun of her. The only time I do that is when I am drugged up on nyquil.
Did you ever try to carry on a conversation with her?
Sometimes I would try to talk, but she did alot of mumbling. Brian says he talks to her and she doesn't remember. One time she got out of her bed and got up on the foot of my bed and started to scratch and bang at the window. I just layed there paralized. She didn't believe that either. But the messed up blinds were my evidence. ;)
I noticed you were up early this moring by the time on your post. Gosh, I was up at the same time!! Jason doesn't talk in his sleep and even if he did, I would never hear it for the chainsaw snoring he does all night long every night!! I have to get to sleep first or there is no sleep!!
Obviously, you were never privilidge to the night time roamings of a certain neighbor of yours who sed to be fast asleep when she wondered up and down South 9th Street!! My Dad tried to get me back into the house once and I told him he couldn't walk in the street like that or he'd get run over. I thought I was walking on the sidewalk but that was before they cut down our big tree and made a sidewalk on our side!! After he found me out on the roof of our screened in porch one night, they started locking the doors where I couldn't get out them and he nailed my windows shut. Guess I ahd a little sleep walking problem.
Well, Diva, it's a wonder that you didn't run into one of the neighbor girls during your sleep walking adventures--not me, but my younger sis. She walks AND talks in her sleep.
