Okay...a question about conscious sleep-talking...?

Question

Here's how the conversation went:

Ash ["asleep"]
Me [sitting at the computer]

Ash *suddenly wakes: WHERE ARE THE PIECES?!
Me: What?
A: The pieces to that skeleton on the door.
M: Ashley, there is no skeleton on the door. You're half-asleep.
A: No, I'm not *NOW*. You know what I'm talking about...you've seen it before...
M: No, I haven't. Seriously you're half-asleep.
A: No, you know what I'm talking about.
M: ...No.
A: Well fine. If I remember what it is, I'll wake up and tell you.

Then she went back to sleep...about twenty minutes ago she finally woke up and said "I talked in my sleep didn't I?"

She remembered exactly what she had said but knew there was no actual logic behind it. She's never had a skeleton on her door...but for some reason while she was apparently "awake" she thought there was one.

How could she remember what she said?
Is that weird or something?

Nope, she's never seen it.

Answer 1

No it is normal. If I talk in my sleep and wake not long after I do, I can remember what I said. Now if I sleep all night I may not remember it the next morning.

Answer 2

I think it is the point between sleep and awake. When
I was about 19 I was going to school and working to support
myself and my girlfriend. I would be exhausted and after we had our fun for the night she'd talk to me until I fell asleep and then
she be shoving me awake asking about some girl I was with
that day. I guess I kept talking and answering her questions
until after I was asleep I suppose. Then she'd ask leading
questions and get weird crazy answers. Then I'd argue back
and forth a bit and go back to sleep even if she was yelling at
me because I just had to get up and do it all over again the
next day.
Now we're married and have four kids, just joking. I broke
contact with her not long after that.

Answer 3

It happens to me all the time, I just had one last night. Some are just me saying random things to my boyfriend which he has no idea of what I'm talking about, but others are like I'm awake and I see the thing that was in my dream in my room and i freak out and start screaming and running away. I always remember it clearly after I'm awake. I'm not sure what it is though some say its a form of night frights.

Answer 4

Maybe she watched the movie Skeleton Key.

Answer 5

My son used to do this and he even walk in his sleep. you could have a hole conversation with him in his sleep. One night he went downstairs looking for his shoes to go to the parade!!! It was a very stressful period for him 'cause of a family loss. Later this stoped and now he is more relaxed. Now sometimes you can here him say a word or two in his sleep.

Answer 6

Skeleton Key is a scary movie.

Answer 7

...my husband does that...its funny. I'll be talking to him in bed normally, then he slowly starts falling asleep and starts saying weird stuff like "the cat" and I will say "what cat"? he will say "the cat got out"...and I'm like "we don't have a cat honey....wake up"....and I just laugh. He normally does this when he is really really tired. He says it made sense in his head but he can't explain why....its like his brain is firing off in a jumbled up way...just before his slips into sleep...

Answer 8

The memory and deep sleep can combine for some fascinating - not strange - things.
