Your gibberish story reminds me of Chris and I. When we first started dating, I had only just started to learn Spanish. He would wake up in the middle of the night, speak to me in Spanish, and I, thinking he was awake would say, "No entiendo, en ingles, por favor." (I don't understand, in English, please.) He would get so mad and yell, "NO!" and continue whatever he had said...then I realized he was talking in his sleep and told him to go back to bed. His response was an annoyed "Fine!" and he flopped over and was quiet.
Then one time, at my grandparents house, he was sleeping on the couch while I shared the fold out bed with my sister. Very early in the morning I was woken up by him laughing VERY loudly...then he said, "Going on twenty-one!" It freaked me out that he sounded so happy so early in the morning (he is not a good waker-uper), and said "Chris?" But he was asleep...that is the only time I have ever heard someone laugh in their sleep.
My mom and I shared a similar experience. One night while my parents were still married, my mom sat up in bed, slapped my dad on the chest and said, "Who the hell are you talking to?" My dad was so surprised, but he managed to realize she was sleeping and said, "I'm talking to YOU, dear." My mom seemed to get very confused and said, "Ok..." and flopped back onto the pillow.
About a year ago, when I was sick, I was having trouble falling asleep. Chris fell asleep (or so I thought) before me. I whispered, "I love you." And he replied (or so I thought), "I love you, too, Mary." Thinking he was asleep and had given up some secret, I yelled, "Who the hell is Mary?!?!" He sat up and looked at me very scared and confused..."I said, 'I love you, too, baby.'" I felt so bad, but I couldn't stop laughing! [
