My mother once called 911 while sleeping. She reported that there was a man in the back yard. They asked her what he looked like. "Well. He's really big, and he's blue." In the middle of the conversation, she wakes up. She realizes what she's done, but instead of telling them, she freaks out, thinking she'll get in trouble. They come to the house and she pretends that the man is now gone.

Another time, my mother was staying in a hotel with my aunt Gere. My mother says she woke up hovering over my aunt, who was shivering in complete terror, as my mom had her arms out like a bear about to claw my aunt.

My other aunt, Lois, got a phone call one night while she was sleeping, from a friend. She answered the call, still asleep, and proceeded to tell him that she just had a baby. "But I didn't even know you were pregnant?" "Yes. I just had a baby!"

I have never had sleeping walking incidents, but, I had night terrors from about 19-28 years old. My memories of them are very sketchy. I do remember seeing translucent spiders one time, hanging down from the ceiling, but most of the time, I remember nothing. My ex-husband has reported that I've attacked him, karate style, in bed many times. It got to the point where he knew when one was going to happen, and just immediately pinned me down. One particular time, he said I "commando jumped" (that means somersaulted) out of bed, landed on my back, then crawled on my belly to the french doors of our bedroom, where I then clawed them, all while screaming bloody murder. Ever since then, I've had chronic sciatica.
