You have oral Thrush.
Talk to your dentist.

happens, beacause bacteria is attracred to the DARK. during the evening you might sleep with your mouth open so the bacteria begins to build up to cause that saliva.
not serious, just use mouthwash and brush before you sleep to prvent this

you are both right . if you are a mouth breather the saliva thickens as it dries with breathing and also traps bacteria

It is simply dried saliva. Nothing to worry about.

Sorry to be immature and slightly tacky, but I think this question's really funny. White goop. Hee hee hee.

It's normal. You may have allergies. My doctor recommended a humidifier at night since it will thin out any secretions and keep in moving.
