Anyone heard a loved one speaking full sentences in their sleep?

Screeming in your sleep in from night terrors and there are meds for that.

My Mom would close her eyes and talk normally. It was felt when they closed their eyes it shut out all the visual sensations that confuse them.

My mom had vivid dreams and would not only talk in her sleep but scream in her sleep. She had Parkinson’s disease and dementia.

My LO with dementia who could come out with complete ideas, words, sentences and paragraphs was a sleepwalker and -talker from childhood.

This is just mind blowing to me . Thank you everyone for responding ,the whole idea of it is amazing . Yes our minds are an amazing thing . It's kind of sad though ,that they can't tap into this otherwise. Is it because the synapse arent working ? Well nothing is working properly but why would they work while she's sleeping ? Because she's not trying ? I don't know , crazy .

Occasionally Mom would shut her eyes and talk normally. We thought then it was because she blocked out everything that was going on around her.

Sure. First of all, my brother all his life talked in his sleep a bit, but mumbles, most incoherent. And he would have a lot of acting out of dreams, kicking out his foot. A few times fell from bed. My Mom had also been like that. There is a word for this active dream life and I can't come up with it right now--senior moment.

So it is also possible with dementias, some more than others, for the conversations. Lewy's is quite notorious for it I think, and Lewy's wouldn't you know it, was what my bro had. He would hallucinate often when he would get up and go to the bathroom. So he would try to converse then, half asleep, but also in dreams occasionally.

Just looked up acting out in dreams and find they call it "dream-enacting" behavior. Many psychotropic meds can also contribute to this.

My mom who has aphasia as well as dementia has clear conversations/puts together clear sentences at night while asleep all the time. I think it’s similar to the natural response tool they taught us to use in speech therapy after her stroke. There were certain instances where she clearly came out with a response because her brain wasn’t trying to think about it, the response just came naturally.

Yes. I’ve heard full sentences, even paragraphs with no struggling to find words from dementia patient who has trouble with those things when awake.

I believe it is complelety possible for a full sentence to pop out during the different brain patterns of sleep.

I met a lady this week, very much mostly communicates with 'word salad'. I said something in a sing-song voice & received a full normal sentence!

The brain is amazing isn't it?
