It’s time again for the most awkward of my blog posts: The ones where I share sound clips of me talking–and now singing–in my sleep.
That’s right, I’m still using the Sleep Talk app on a nightly basis. It is one of my favorite things.
I went a few months saying very little (plenty of snoring, burping, sneezing, and farting, though. Yes, I’m single), but lately I’ve been saying quite a bit. Here are the clips, along with my best guess as to what I’m saying:
- Not…not yet. Maybe later, but not yet. It’s the next level.
- Still the same color? Why is it always the same color?! (long pause) Finger food?
- Become a white bear.
- Burgers first!
- Let go. Let go. (one of my cats, Walter, chortles) Okay, let go. (more chortling) This might make sense if I were awake, but it happened at 2:10 am when I was fast asleep.
Finally, I want to prepare you a little bit for the following, because it’s weird. It really sounds like I’m trying to harmonize to a song. It is NOT–I assure you–a sexual act that was accidentally recorded. Really.
Sleep Talk records in 8-second bursts, hence why the following is broken into shorter segments:
It’s not pretty, but it’s better than my singing voice when I’m awake. I’m taking requests for tonight’s song–maybe that dwarven song from The Hobbit?
Have you said anything in your sleep recently?

OH! You humming a tune in your sleep! Game designer by day, song writer/singer by night. Alright. You sing this one too along with The Misty Mountains Cold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEm0AjTbsac
Then you can become a white bear! The next level! But first burgers! Turkey burgers to be specific.
Ha ha…yes, that’s the song I want to sing in my sleep!
Some thoughts:
“Still the same color?” has to be related to a dream about a game night, right? Since people always tend to go for the same color and also finger foods work with game nights/days, it just makes sense….. Do you ever remember anything from the dreams when the app catches you talking in your sleep?
The singing portions are also great– maybe you secretly want to audition for The Voice? 🙂
I think there’s a pretty good chance it was about board games! Though I don’t remember any specific dreams. Most of the talking happens about an hour into my sleep, while typically the dreams I remember are those that happen close to when I wake up in the morning.
Ha ha…I think The Voice would reject me faster than anyone ever. 🙂
That’s hilarious and intriguing at the same time!
