The Funniest Things Couples Were Caught Saying In Their Sleep

The mind really is a funny thing. It plays enough tricks on you while you're awake, but when you're sleeping, the subconscious mind jumbles together all your feelings, thoughts, and random objects you've ever seen and makes for some really interesting results.

Some are funny, others are slightly concerning—you be the judge.

The poor guy sounds like he's under a lot of pressure at work and it's starting to get to him. All he wants is to provide good service. Even in his sleep, he's come to terms with the notion that the customer is always right.

This Might Be How You Die

This is not the kind of partner you'd want to watch a scary movie with on date night. You'll just convince yourself that the spirits have found their way out of the TV and straight unto her living body.

The fact that he went through the effort of poking her shoulder to wake her up, only to let her know how lame she is, makes me wonder if he really was sleeping at all. Maybe this was the only way he could tell her how he really felt.

You really have to wonder what kind of scenario requires you to need to go up and down the sky multiple times for you to think you might need more than one parachute. Either way, it doesn't matter, because he didn't have to bother all those parachutes anyway.

There are so many questions to be asked here. For one, what did he win the cricket trophy for? What does that have to do with crumpets? How can innocent crumpets cause you to be prosecuted?

Rest In Peace To The Vegetables

Perhaps he was simply trying to express his state of being. They say that when we sleep, our subconscious mind surfaces our feelings, thoughts, and images that we've encountered when awake. In this case, this man must have felt like a "dead vegetable."

A Buffet Sounds Like A Good Idea

I don't understand the problem here. Who doesn't like a good buffet? This is just an incentive to go to one. Although maybe shouting it wasn't the best delivery, he could've shouted much worse things.

You Can't Trust Those Sneaky Goblins

The real lesson here is that goblins just can't be trusted. They'll get you to scrub them clean in the bath because of how cute they are, then make you forget it so it'll be like it never happened when you wake up.

This guy is such a good partner that he's willing to save his other half even when he's sleeping. It doesn't matter what the threat is—being chased by vampires, or a dire need for red and green pens—he's there to help at any hour.

Think of how stiff you feel when you wake up in the morning from lying in the same position for hours. This partner is helping keep the blood flowing by exercising the joints in a circular motion. She just happened to grab the wrong limb, that's all.

How rude to be sleeping when there's a whole array of bread, from whole wheat to baguettes, waiting for you for a clearly very important meeting. There are many ways of making a sandwich waiting to be discussed.

What you have to keep in mind here is that it's the thought that counts. The intention was clearly noble: the man just wanted to stand up for his wife. How could he have known that it was all a dream?

This sounds like the start of the plot to every horror movie on Netflix right now. If I were her, I'd call the exorcist before objects randomly start flying off the wall and killing her, unlike in the movies where the characters wait until it's too late.

Clearly, the wife had some unaddressed or unresolved issues that even her sleeping body couldn't handle anymore. She is way past just being passive-aggressive behavior. It's time for marriage counseling.

This newborn would be quite advanced for their age if they could already climb curtains and slide down them. It would be a reason to celebrate, not to be concerned.

However, many would try to take advantage of such a talented baby, so I understand the concern over his kidnapping.

This would have become slightly problematic if she had actually listened to his cries and called 911. First off, ambulance fees aren't cheap. Second, they would have just arrived to find a giggling man.
