Thread: Dream Walking

ok this has been bugging me. and since i do sleep walk somenights. i want to know why its not safe to wake someone up that is sleep walking. everyone i talk to says not to walk the person up but to lead them to a safe place or to watch them.

I'm only guessing, but I think the main reason is fright (which leads to possible danger). Upon waking, the sleepwalker could fall onto a sharp object, think you're a dream character and do what they like to you, think you're a robber and punch you in the face or a number of other things.

I actually read that the idea of not waking up a sleep walker is a silly myth (almost like an urban legend or something) and that there is absolutely no harm in it...but don't quote me.

I dont see the harm

Umm...it seems obvious to me....wouldn't it freak you out if you woke up standing in some room with some guy shaking you.

It would me.

well my mom says that all she does when i'm sleep walking is tell me to go back to my room and go to sleep. and she says i do it most of the time. other times i just lay down where i am. and go back to "sleep" there.
