I think my parents have found that the one way for me to be COMPLETELY, PAINSTAKINGLY honest with them is to wait until I'm asleep! They have no objections asking me anything, even boyfriend info, and now they think I'm a pornstar! (And I'm definitely not!!) Help, what can I do to stop talking in my sleep?

I think your parent are smarter than that. Dreams do not necessarily mean reality.

Well I read all the answers, and I was totally surprised that nobody mentioned your comment about your parents thinking you're a porn star. Why do they think that - I suspect it is because you've been doing things that they would totally disapprove of, and you know it! I'm sure it's uncomfortable and upsetting knowing that they can ask you anything while you're asleep and get honest answers, but I'm sure it would be a lot less upsetting if you had nothing to hide! Maybe this is what's meant by a "wake up call"!

If you are sleeping how do you know they are really asking you questions? I think they are just messing with you and telling you that you are telling them your secrets while you are sleeping. Have you thought that they might be trying to trick you into telling them something? Or maybe they are looking through your things that's how they know what is going on. I've got 3 little girls and the way things are today you can bet I'll be doing whatever I have to do to make sure they are steering straight and not misbehaving. Maybe you should talk to them and be honest with them, that's all they want, and then maybe they won't be "asking you questions in your sleep".

not all dreams are correct some are the products of the days activities, so to think of getting information while you sleep is not acceptable, since you can get only a bit of information and that most often they're not complete, they tend to produced more speculation, and will come out a wrong judgment. If i were you, I'll talk to my parents sincerely, and ask them to stop spying in my dreams, if they want or if they have any questions regarding my day to day affairs, they can ask me directly, and i will answer them with all honesty of heart. being open to your parents helps a lot. It will turn down suspicion and you can go on with your life worry free ( no more fear on your back ). you can seek medical help also ( psychiatrist or psychologist ) to give you some advised, and first of all PRAY to GOD for help. Surely he will help you because he loves you.

Just because you talk in your sleep does not mean that you are speaking the truth. My kids ask me questions all of the time while I am sleeping and I tell them things like, I am snowboarding, baking cooking and on some occasions I am taking trips to Disney Land.
If they are, in fact, getting correct answers from you about things that you have done that may be embarrassing, or could get you into trouble, then maybe you should just NOT do those things!

Whoa. I had the same problem. Sorry I can't think of anything you can do to stop it . But being more forthright with your parents may help. Try to be as honest as you can with them. I know you want to keep your privacy but apparently they have some trust issues with you.
I am a parent now and I got to tell you, I don't agree with what their doing unless they are afraid for you safety.
PLEASE......TALK TO THEM. Maybe if you let them know what an invasion of privacy this is it will finally click with them.
Most of all don't yell it makes parents think your hiding something and they will do it even more.
If you speak to them calmly and honestly they are more prone to actually listen to you and your feelings.
Good Luck and Love

I don't care if they are your parents, that is an invasion of privacy no matter how you look at it. they have to stop doing that and you need to let them know in a nice way that if they don't stop, you'll start sleeping at your boyfriend's house. That will make them think twice about eaves dropping on your sleep. That;s despicable. Sorry, I know they are your parents, but I would never have done that to my children.

that's bad, I really don't know what to tell you. It's hard to say because alot of people talk in their sleep. I do agree, you will say some things that were repressed or obviously on your mind when you are unconscious, it's normal. That's kind of funny, but sad that your parents are finding out what they want to know in your sleep. I don't know how you could stop, because I know that I talk in my sleep as well as my family members, especially my mom. My mom has talked in her sleep since we were small kids, and it's always been about crazy things. Like about food, someone getting her nerves who isn't around, stuff that's been on her mind, etc. I think that you should talk with them about invading your privacy, that's not cool. They should ask you when you are conscious about what they really want to know, instead of manipulating you and your emotions. You are vulnerable in your sleep because of your dreams and repressed thoughts, so they shouldn't try to use you like that for info. They should just ask you openly what they want to know, be upfront with you.

Too bad, honey. D reason you talk i your sleep is that u r too hyperactive during the day until the time u r about 2 sleep. Your subconscious brain is still active, that's why u r "awake" when u r asleep.

Wow that is a major invasion of privacy. It kind of sucks that your parent don't or can't trust you enough to tell them truth when they ask you. You should be completely and utterly honest with your parents. I hope my daughter can talk to me when she gets older. I would suggest sleeping either deeper or more shallow so you can wake up when they talk to you or lock your door. or set up a booby trap so you know when they enter your room and it wakes you up.

It's your parents who need help if they would do such a thing to you. Everyone deserves the right to privacy and if someone was invading my dreams they could take a hike to a psychologist. You are not doing anything wrong and you can't help what you dream. Best Wishes to You !!!
