"Forks. Forks to the left. To the left! No, greasy mugs go there. You really have everything ass-fucked backwards, don't you."

"Why don't you make your mouth useful. Say goodbye."

"You've got to save the curtains! Save the curtains... They hold so many secrets."

"Please bounce on my bed with me. Bounce with me. Because there's nothing more romantic than bouncing..... Boing."

__________

Karen's note: I've never mentioned that Adam also has a funny way of waking up. Adam goes from dead asleep to fully cognizant in a single moment. He's what you might call a morning person. For example, this morning, he was lying there, breathing slowly and deeply, dead to the world. Suddenly, his eyes popped open and he announced, "Ear plugs. We have to get ear plugs for honeymoon. We don't know how loud it will be in the jungle." And this was not something out of a dream, or part of his sleep-talking. This was an entirely relevant, perfectly-formed thought. What a freak.

Oh, hey, we just enabled fan photos on the Facebook page.

    as far as mornings go (unless i've been up all night such as oh, right now) UGH!

    I'm more of a night owl which sucks cause everything seems to be all about the morning.

    Oh, and also am quite amused with the mouth...usefull!

    It was probably a pirate dinner he was supervising: pirates are known to be rather particular about their table settings...... and the mugs *have* to be properly greased; otherwise, the rum tends to eat through the pewter (especially when you've mixed it with gunpowder)...... 7@=Q

    Regarding the webcast..I wasn't saying EVERY night..just one night. It would maybe recruit some sceptics on board..and I'm sure by now, you have enough followers that we would actually hang out and listen! Make sure to watch some Animal planet before bed, and Karen, make sure to poke at his feet ;D

    p.s it would make my day if one of you responded to me :D :D

    Ambyr,

    thanks for your comments. the video thing does hold some interest for me, but really i do feel it does break that fianl intiamcy barrier that i am just not comfortable with. in terms of 'recruiting the sceptics', i don't believe there is anything we can do, should do or want to do to convince these people. Anything produced will surely be seen as faked by some and both Karen and I feel we simply do not have anything to prove.

    thanks for your support.

    Adam,

    Skeptics require evidence in order to believe something, so clearly there are MANY things you could do to convince them. A skeptics mind is NOT already made up, he/she simply refuses to believe based on faith alone.

    The whole idea that someone makes such neat quotes when asleep seems so unbelievable that I am surprised at the way people who don't believe it are treated on here. Wouldn't it be normal and rational to doubt to a bizarre and unsual claim?

    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Right?

    I think the forks and greasy mugs could also refer to placement of dishes in a dish washer. In any event it made me LOL for a good while, cause I can just imagine disgruntled sleepy Adam giving dish washer instructions.

    You are suprised by the way skeptics are treated on here? I'm suprised by how rude the skeptics are. Name calling Adam and Karen and even the visitors of the blog is childish and not worth anyone's time. If someone has a question, all they have to do is ask...politely. Adam and Karen (if you read other comments) always answer the questions that are asked. They won't do live video feed, and that is completely understandable. I'm sure skeptics would even question those, however. If skeptics want to be treated more kindly on this blog, they need to take a step back and be more kind themselves. Just because you disagree or don't believe doesn't mean you have to be cruel. And is there really any evidence they could provide (without crossing a personal line) that would make believers out of everyone?

    Is there anything they could really do?

    Yes, they could go to a sleep lab.

    Researchers can measure brain activity when someone is asleep. In fact, I believe they'd be very interested in case like this.

    Adam, why not put yourself forward for a night in a sleep research lab? It would silence the skeptics once and for all, and it prove valuable for scienctific understanding of sleep, speech and consciousness. I expect the clarity, consistency and content of Adam's sleeptalking is almost, if not entirely, unique, and should therefore be understood.

    Karen, I just wanted to post that I think the sleep talking and the style of waking up might have something in common. I also talk constantly in my sleep (I'll even open my eyes and sit up to have a conversation with my girlfriend, though having no recollection of it the next day), and I wake up the same way...From absolutely asleep to completely awake and ready to take on the day instantly...Strange isn't it?
