he says i spoke another language in my sleep

hi everybody. im not very good at these so sorry and ill try and keep it simple. i wanted to share something that happened to me probably 10 or 15 years ago when i was around 12 or 13 years old. i dont remember exactly when it happened but i dont think thats really important. and i dont remember any of this happening either, the whole story is from my brother. anyhow heres what went down. it was early in the morning and my brother was up late watching tv in the living room. i was asleep in the next room over. i got up and walked out into the living room and stopped and stared at my brother. thats when he says i started speaking some other language and that i seemed completely lucid even though i have no memory of this happening at all. he said if he had to guess that it sounded middle eastern. the only language i actually know how to speak is english. my brother says it absolutely was not jibberish and i was speaking slow and clear. he said it scared him and he told me to stop but i wouldn't i just kept on babbling whatever i had to say. he said it freaked him out so much he was about to get up and punch me in the face to make me stop because it was like something was controlling me like some exorcist type stuff. just as he was giving me my last warning i stopped and turned around and went back to bed. and im glad because he was twice my size at the time. ive told people this story and some think ive been abducted by aliens like on the third kind when they spoke sumerian or what have you (yes i know that flick is balogna but it was still kinda cool), some think i was channeling something, some think something was controlling me, some think it was some sort of past life regression and that one intrigues me the most i think. anyways this website seems like a pretty good place to share this so what do you all think about this one? thanks.

have any of you heard of this sort of thing happening?

I used to have a girlfriend that would sit up in her sleep and start talking and she would never remember it. One night she sat up woke me up and asked me if there were zombies in the closet and monsters under the bed, she never remembered doing it, needless to say that relationship didn't work out.

In 1981, my dad went in for back surgery. He was 42 at the time. During his recovery, he started speaking Japanese to the nurses. He can't even understand British English, let alone speak Japanese. He was in a bit of a drug induced state at the time, and one of the nurses was Japanese. She said he was going on about WWII and how he hated the Japanese. He was born in 1939, and was just a kid during WWII. We saw him do it one time. It kind of freaked me out, but now we joke about it from time to time. He doesn't remember any of it.

hmm that does sound somewhat like my story. if only my bro had a video camera handy at the time so he could have recorded it and found out what i was saying. i wish i knew what this meant! thanks for your story!

A couple of months ago, my father heard a woman's voice coming from my room. It was just me in there, and I'm male. He was pretty freaked out, even showed me the goosebumps when he was telling me about it. Not another language, but I just can't pull off a convincing female voice while awake.

It was the Forth Kind. What is strange is that you got up and found your brother. My Girlfriend used to speak in her sleep and I would ask her questions. The weird thing was that her grammar was perfect and she could recall perfectly any dreams and memories. Cool story im sure there is more people that have experienced the same thing.

Maybe you fell asleep to a foreign show, and your brain sublimed the messages for later use. Our subliminal state of mind picks up everything we've ever heard or saw.

That's what I was thinking too. I remember being in a lucid state one morning, and doing some very scientific looking, complicated math, and it was making total sense to me. It was like I knew the universe!

As I started really waking up, I could feel it slipping away, along with the understanding of it

I think I retained info at a deep level from all the things I read and watch on tv and here, but at such a deep level that the conscious me doesn't understand any of it. I'm really not math literate.

Maybe the brain picked up that other language from books, tv, internet, strangers talking....

Well.... you never know about those past lives!!!

Actually, what happened to you is a lot more common than some people might think. I'm more concerned about how your brother was about to handle it! I'm glad he didn't end up getting violent with you, as he planned. That could have made things worse.

I understand how creeped out the movie "The Fourth Kind" made you. Dr. John Mack, who was a psychiatrist at Harvard University, wrote several good books about how he helped people who thought they were "abducted" & I recommend them to you. Put his name in the search bar on Amazon & you'll find them- if you read them they'll put your mind at ease!

I have spoken unknown languages in my sleep at night ever since I could talk. I speak English, French & Spanish, but the sleep language wasn't any of those! My parents didn't know what to do with me... they'd hear me talking in my sleep at night, & try to listen to see if they could figure out what it was, but hadn't a clue. I never remember anything about it when I wake up. A long time ago, a boyfriend heard me do it & was fascinated- he started to talk to me trying to find out what it was. I began to answer him in English- still asleep- I told him it was the difference between men & animals. Why? he asked. I said, because men have names. But what language is this? Where is it from? I answered as though he were a complete idiot, & said China! like anyone would know that. It did sound like Chinese, he said- but I've never learned to speak Chinese in this lifetime.

Bottom line, it's totally harmless. And, if you want to know about the Sumerian factor, the real author of the Sumerian stuff in "The Fourth Kind" was Zechariah Sitchin. He was one of the six people in the world who could speak, read & write ancient Sumerian, & he wrote a lot of amazing books. Start with "The 12th Planet".

hmm maybe, good theory. its something that makes sense at least. i like to think its something a bit more mystical in nature though. cause that would be way cooler

thats really weird and kinda funny

Whatever that you end up deciding happened, just know that you are not alone. For all you know, you were speaking ancient Egyptian that night! There are also hypnotists that specialise in past-life regression therapy.

Just because present-day science doesn't yet have a way of measuring what is going on in unusual or paranormal phenomena, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. One day science will catch up, & then all of us will finally find out what's been going on. Good luck to you- S & F.

I had a girlfriend that I could have a conversation with when she was asleep too.

It was very strange, I should have taken advantage of it and try to subconsciously plant ideas in her head.

i want to find a past life regression therapist so bad! man i think that would just be the bees knees. i shall continue my quest for answers!

I did that as a child. I woke up screaming every time I went to sleep starting at a year old. My Mother would sleep with me and I'd sit up and start speaking in another language. I often fought her like she was attacking me. I'm not sure what that was. I was young and don't recall what I was dreaming at the time. I was a violent sleeper whom couldn't be awoken at times but was prone to sleepwalking. A lovely child, I was.

Stange things like this happen, i once met a japanese girl in a bar (i admit i was quite drunk) and i talked to her for quite some time. A friend of mine who was with me at the bar got really angry and left because i was not talking to her. Next day she adresses me, really pissed that i spent hours talking in japanese, and she did not understand a word.

Needless to say i know about 3 words in japanese...

As well there are many stories of guys who had an operation or a stroke, and they woke up speaking different languages, different accent, and from one i heard he suddenly was able to play piano like a wunderkind.


Brain 'failures' ? Possesion? Archaic records ? Who knows ?

OP: could you ask your brother to record you, if you talk again in strange languages ?? Would be really interesting to hear, mybe we even find out which language it is, and what you are saying ?

Friends have claimed I've communed with aliens when I'm asleep.
I don't snore so weird these days.
