Anything you can do awake you can do whilst asleep.

I know from experience.

I'm a sleepwalker; I've sleptwalked all of my life. My mom has tons of stories about it, from where I woke her up claiming a man was chasing me in my room to trying to walk out the door. I wake up all the time to find that everything isn't always where I left it. Lights are on, doors are open/closed. The weirdest thing that happened to me during sleepwalking was when I woke up downstairs in one of our chairs with the tv on to cartoons. That's what I used to do on Saturday mornings--I got up early to watch cartoons. Except it was a Thursday and I had no recollection of going downstairs.

My mom used to sleepwalk apparantly, too. She'd always go find her mom and stand at the end of her bed and just stare at her. Apparantly it woke her up. (Ever tried to sleep while someone is staring at you? Seriously, it's creepy; you always wake up.)

I used to sleepwalk. I once woke up in the bathroom cabinet with no recollection of how I got there.

Also, my mom once found me downstairs, crouched down, peering under the sofa looking for a purple hippo. I apparently told her this in an amazingly grown up voice. It was amazing as I was 5 at the time.

Thankfully I grew out of it and now I only sleeptalk.

It's quite plausible that you got out of bed and climbed into the other in your sleep. Your room being possessed... not quite so plausible.

I sleep walk all the time, occasionally I wake up in my pantry looking at the pop-tarts in there :P

You HAVE pop-tarts? I ate all mine. Which do you prefer? Strawberry Sensation or Chocotastic?

Oh Poptarts! brown sugar and cinnamon here :)

I've never sleepwalked, but I have talked on the phone while asleep. I don't ever remember them, but the other person I talk to the next day will be really confused, telling me we had the strangest conversation.

I had a roommate who sleepwalked. Scared the skin off me the first couple of times until I figured out what was going on. After that, I'd just get up and gently steer her back to her own room. I also threatened to put a lock on the outside of her door.

XDD And I wonder how people manage to sleep with their boyfriends watching over them like in movies. :P It's as bad as the song that has the lyrics, "and I will hold you until the day I die."

Thanks, but no thanks.

Anyway, um, I made "hm..mmf" noises sometimes and I guess i was half awake so I could hear myself making noises. Maybe I woke myself up but who knows. I think I also tried flipping myself over and had my head at the foot of the bed.

And then there was sleep talking with my friend in Thailand:
I had a dream of my friend, Sarah, walking out the door, panicky...
unknown person in dream: is she always panicking?
me: yea, Sarah's always panicking
Then suddenly both of us was awake...
Sarah: whaaatt?
me: Sarah's always panicking. Apparently you're in my dream.
Sarah: oh.
And both of us went back to sleep.
(note: we shared the large bed 'cause my other two roommates took the seperate ones.)
the next morning:
me: sarah, did you ask me something last night?
-conversation goes on.-

So yea. I don't think your room is possessed :P Things like that happen from time to time.

Hrm...sleepwalking...

I was never aware that I sleepwalked, but one morning I woke up and found that my door, which I had locked before I went to sleep, was unlocked...it was weird.

I've probably sleepwalked once or twice. One time I woke up and I was sleeping with my head laying on the wrong end of the bed and half of my body was hanging over the side. :roll:

I don't think it's anything to worry about, though, unless this is happening every night, or something.

I've done that! And once, me and my two friends were in the same bed together and as it was a double bunkbed, I woke up with my head wedged under the ladder!

Oh man! Sleepwalking is so serious. You could be like Donnie Darko, flooding your school by breaking a water main! Or riding somewhere on your bike and falling asleep in the middle of the road, or on a golf course!

You could, but most people don't leave their homes while sleepwalking.

And for falling asleep in the middle of the road? Not likely. Usually I'm in the middle of a dream while sleepwalking (obviously I don't know it) and I'm not going to sleep in the road while dreaming; so why would I do it otherwise?

Have you seen the film 'Donnie Darko'?

Can't say I have, no.

Then ignore what I said, 'cause you won't get it unless you have.
