Certainly, not intentionally perhaps but you could be walking by a railing where a knife is balanced (don't ask why, this is a really big "if" scenario) and you bump it off just as someone walks underneath it, you killed em in yer sleep.

Yeah, I think it's true. I was watching some other show about the crazy things people do in their sleep and some detective killed some guy in his sleep. Then the next day they found the guy on the beach and the same detective was called on to do the case study. The footprints that he found showed a missing toe on the right foot...which happened to match his exactly! He proved himself guilty, but had no recollection of actually committing the crime.
On another note, I have family members that have been known to do crazy things like light matches in their sleep, try to get out of the house in their sleep, and cook while sleeping. So, yeah, I totally believe it.
Oh, yeah, and the detective was guilty, but he didn't do time or anything.

If someone is full of stress they can sleepwalk, fight in their sleep, talk in their sleep, and yes even kill in their sleep.
To prevent that people should be more open to what is bothering them and sometimes to get therapy from a physcologist, some need to learn how to relax more before they go to bed by trying meditation, reading a nonviolent book, or watching a calming movie.

I think this kind of thing has probably happened to all of us. I'm always killing in my sleep, and I gotta tell ya, its annoying having to find new girlfriends all the time. But what can you do? Just deal with it, offer to buy people suits of armour, sleep with restraints on. Its not about a cure, its about suppression... kinda like herpes.

Yes I believe that you can kill in your sleep. people do some incredible things when they are sleep walking and have no memory of it.

Yes it's possible - you can read details by a doctor at the following site where a man battered his father to death in London, U.K. in October 2003 while sleepwalking. It was widely reported by BBC too :-

Yes, it is...the subconscious mind sometimes let out suppressed feelings of anger , etc. in our dreams and for sleepwalkers, it could intensify because of their abilityto carry out what they wanted to do...of course without being aware of it.

i dont believe in it. movements need skeletal muscles and they are controlled chiefly by the concious part of the brain. and to kill somebody you need to locate him, using your eyes, which i dont think while sleeping you can see?
