I can sympathize. I post on forums in my sleep. Am I awake now? You'll never know

I've had dreams of being engaged in Steam conversations, or of being on Facepunch and reading threads and stuff and posting. They really fuck with me when I get up because I can't remember what did and didn't actually happen. This would be even worse because then everything would have actually happened, oh god.

I have experienced this, when your phone goes off and you kind of text half asleep then sometimes you can't remember it when you wake up later.
I have never done this but I've received a lot of texts like that. Good cause for confusion when everybody's awake again.
I'll use my phone and not fall asleep; this also sucks

I once posted a status on facebook when I was asleep

[QUOTE=Orkel;39567090]i once had a dream that garry banned me[/QUOTE] It happens to some of us, buddy. I've sleep texted too, was just gibberish to a friend but still, frightning.
Christ, how coincidental the other night I was having a friggin' Inception moment. Dreamt I was in the hospital about to have surgery to have a kidney removed, blogging about it for some reason (on here, funnily enough.) Think I was gonna donate it or something, but at the last second I'm all "no wait, I don't wanna do this; can we wait 'till I'm dead or something" and got off the table just as they delivered the anesthetic. It only half-affected me, so as I was walking around afterwards, I kept nodding off into a similar dream. Some Silent Hill-type stuff there; same hospital, different lighting, and now I was an employee or something but [i]still[/i] blogging about it, but apparently sleep-blogging so each time I snapped out of it into the first dream everything I blogged in the second dream was there on my blog in the first dream. Friggin' bizarre. (And then I dreamt the MLB National and American Leagues were actually parallel universes and I was standing on an NL field and could switch between it and an AL field Quantum Conundrum-style by pressing R2. On what controller? I don't friggin' know.)
I have had dreams where I was playing InfernoMoo and I lost all my text items :saddowns:
Growing? Might be. Concerning? Not at all.
I don't have a phone. Why? I'm a loner. All these people just need to be loners.
Reminds me of this news story [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGXSPf9b-xI[/media]
The only time I've sleep-texted was like, an hour before waking up after drinking. I woke up to a text from my friend saying "What?". I can't remember what I asked him though, but I remember it not making much sense.

Any time I wake up too early I find myself reading my google reader feeds half-asleep on my phone, which sucks because it ends up having everything marked as read and I don't remember any of it
All the 'sleep-texting' crap is a bit humorous, yea, but there definitely is an issue with continually being deprived of proper, uninterrupted sleep, whatever the cause of it is. As I believe the article stated, there is definitely an importance in regards to being completely immersed in your sleep for the full, proper amount of hours necessary, depending on age.
[QUOTE]Ban smartphones. Especially high-capacity 4G smartphones. It's for the children![/QUOTE] This made my day. You don't need to send 10 texts to kill a deer.
I kinda did something like this once, except it was talking with a friend on the phone I mean I didn't actually call her, but I dreamt I did and I actually like held my phone up to my ear and talked into it. I could feel myself smiling and everything. It was pretty weird and I woke up right after the phone call ended. Texted her immediately afterwards asking if I had called or anything.
I would never type something when im aslllllda bvngnhj
I shut my phone off while I sleep, unless you use it as an alarm whats the point?

I don't understand how you would text and sleep. When they say sleep, do they mean when you wake up at first and say weird shit for a minute?
THis reminds me when my friend texted another "fuck you", and then called her and began roaring on the phone, and then cursed her out.
