I used to think that my teddies would come to life if I wanted them to so i used to play my recorder in a sort of snake charmer tune (made up on the spot obviously) to try to intice them to come to life..once i swear i heard one of them talk...or maybe it was my cat meowing

When i was little me and my older sister had to share a room(and a bed). So of course if i was awake she was awake. In order to get me to go to sleep at night she told me that when i fell asleep at night all my stuffed animals and toys came to life and had a big party,and that if i fell asleep quickly at night for a whole month straight they would wake me up and i could attend their party. To this day i get a little creept out by the stuffed animals that lay all over my daughters room!

im 12 and have the BIGGEST collection of teddies(plushies/stuffed animals) in the world! i used to believe that once i went to sleep they talked about what they'd done in the day. so i used to pretend to be asleep and listen very carefully. trust me, i am so good at pretending to be asleep now, people shake me all the time just to check(im a deep sleeper, and a foghorn in my ear wouldn't wake me)

ummm, i am NOT obsessed with talking teddies

When I was young I used to believe that at the stroke of midnight all the dolls and stuffed animals in my room would come alive and play amongst themselves. I was impressed that they always went back to "exactly" how they were when I went to sleep.

When i was like 6 I thought that my lego's would come alive at night(or anytime no one was watching them)... and the only way you could catch them is with a hidden camera that they didn't know about... I didn't ever have a camera to prove my theory and to this day don't know if this is true or not... though it probebly is not...

fears the truth

When I went to sleep at night,as a 10 year old, I believed my dolls and stuffed animals would come alive at night and move around silently in my room as I slept. Because when I woke up, my dolly was in a different place than where I placed her the night before. (My mom probably moved her for some reason when she came to check on me before she went to bed.)

I used to have a HUMONGOUS collection of stuffed toys when i was younger. They were all lined up on rows and rows of shelves, perfectly placed sitting up so they could " see" what was going on. I used to believe that the toys would talk when i left the room or went to sleep. I remember one night i stayed up the whole night totally silent with one eye half open hoping they would begin talking and i would catch them and yell at them for not inviting me to there party. haha the only thing i ended up catching was a bad cold the next day from lack of sleep.

It isnt my belief anymore...but a sweet story about my youngest son...
H e was 5 yrs old and believed that his "action men" came to life after he went to bed..(my husband and myself used to move them around his room when he was asleep).. then oneday i borrowed some "barbie" clothes from a friend who had girls... needless to say when my son woke in the moring and all his "tough soldiers" were wearing wedding dresses and tutus..sitting in a circles with a teapot and tea cups.. say no more.. we laughed so much....

when i was around 6 i thought that all of my teddies and dolls and toys came alive when i was asleep. Every night I would li down in bed, pretending to be asleep and every 5 minutes or so I opened my eyes to see if they moved. (they didn't). My mum knew of my beliefs and in the middle of every night while I was sleeping she would move around the toys to make them seem as if they were doing somehing eg playing on the computer, climbing back into the toy box. i beleieved this for over 3 years

When i was about 6 yrs old i used to have a massive collection of Barbie dolls and my mum told me that every night that when i fell asleep they would come out and have a party. So i used to try and stay awake and be really quiet so they would come out and party. Sadly though they never did.

I used to believe that my Barbies would come alive when I went to sleep. For fear of them getting mad at me...each of them had to be dressed and put nicely in the box before I left the room. Otherwise, the Barbies would get jealous and become very angry.

When I was about 7 or 8 (I'm 18 now) I used to sleep with every single stuffed animal I owned. The reason for this was that I believed that when I was asleep they would come to life and protect me from any monsters lurking under my bed or in my closet. Then I saw the movie 'Chuckie', I stopped sleeping with my stuffed animals and instead would cover them up with a blanket while I slept.

when i was younger i used to think at night my stuffed animals would get up and move around at night.and when the sun came up they would get back in their places

Anon

I used to think that all my toys and even the posters on the wall would come alive at night. I used to ask them to be nice and look after me while I slept.

I used to think that those little troll dolls with the neon-colored hair were evil little monsters and that if you owned one that as soon as you put it away in your toybox,it would crawl out and come after you when you went to sleep. Needless to say, I threw away my troll doll.

Leigh

I used to believe that my toys on the end of my bed used to come to life at night - i used to pretend to be asleep and open one eye to try and catch them!

Louise

I used to believe at night, when I was in bed, the toys in my closet would come to life. I always dreamed of my Ken dolls killing me for torturing them so much and flushing one of their heads down the toilet... o.o;;;

Robyn

When I was really little I used to believe that my dolls and teddies would come to life when i would go to sleep because I would always take a teddy with me to bed with me but when I awoke the next morning the teddy would no longer be on my bed it would either be under or by the door!But know I think its just because I mover around alot when im sleeping :P

When I was younger, I used to believe that my stuffed animals would come alive at night. Instead of being excited or amused though, I was afraid that if I didn't treat my stuffed animals nicely they'd come after me at night. (I think this came from this sick Christmas movie where toys came alive and tried to remove eachother from the presents so they would not be recieved on Christmas Day...) I used to take turns sleeping with each and every one of my stuffed animals every night so they would not be upset with me.

Stuffed Animal-Phobia

i used to think that when everyone would be asleep, that would be the time when stuffed animals would start to move and be alive!
