body functions: sleeping

My parents had some carved wooden figures that my brother bought them in Korea - they were an old Korean man and woman, both with bizarrely carved faces and carrying big walking sticks. My sister convinced me that when I went to sleep at night, they came alive and beat me over the head with their little sticks.

I Used to belive that when I slept my goobers would crawl out of my nose and into my eyes but one night I was crying because I was afraid that they were going to eat my eyeballs that I found out that was a whole bunch of nonsense.

I used to lie awake in the night worrying whether to sleep with my mouth open or closed. I believed if I left my mouth open, a man would come in through the window and pour poison into it (and I would die). I also worried that if I left it closed I would suffocate. I would lie in my, until I got to sleep, opening and closing my mouth.

I used to think that when you went to sleep, your dreams were accualy real. One time I had one of those "falling" dreams, and I could of sworn my body fell onto my bed a second after I woke up...

My little brother once asked what snoring was. When we explained it was a breathing thing while you slept, he seemed very surprised. We asked him what's wrong, and he said, "Don't you stop breathing when you sleep?"

You know how sometimes you have a dream but you can't tell if it was a dream or ture? Well, when I was younger I dreamt that a Barbie Doll Convertable Car with and evil Barbie and Ken came driving by and tried to run over me when I had fallen on the floor. I was always scared to hang my hand down the side of my bed after that and I actually still am to this day. I know it's not real, but if I imagine it hard enough, I can think that the evil Barbie Car is actually under my bed waiting to attack me. And I'm 19!!!

I used to believe that when i was awake, someone else was dreaming what i was doing and when i was sleeping...the dreams i was having was someone else's daily life. (so they were sleeping while i was awake...and i was sleeping while they were awake!!)

When I was in either first, or second grade, I used to believe that anyone who appeared in my dream at night, must have actually been there too, and would remember it just as I did. The dreams in which a girl I liked appeared, made me believe that she would understand, when I saw her at school again, why I liked her.

i used to believe that after you rub the sleep out of your eye it will jump back in. so when i woke up in the mornings i would make sure i got the sleep on my fingers and open our front door and flick it outside, that way i figured it couldnt find me

I use to believe that while I was asleep a mini choo choo train went through one ear and out the other. I stayed up several nights trying to catch it happening, but I never did.lol

When I went to sleep, I usually slept on my side, so I could hear my pulse. I always thought that it was some army marching, but I never figured out where it was. I think that I also thought it someone saying "Thank You" over and over agian.

when I was nine I went to see my dad's uncle in Germany.I had to make his grandson ( he was 5 ) to go to sleep, but he wouldn't listen to me . The next day I put on my mom's high-heeled shoes and told him I had grown, because I slept and that he would remain small. He believed me and started crying! CONCLUSION: REVENGE IS SWEET!

I used to think you absolutely HAD to have your eyes CLOSED for a full three hours before you could fall asleep. So I'd lie in bed and since I thought I couldn't open my eyes, they naturally started itching and such, but I wouldn't let myself open them. It was really tormenting. Finally I'd give in and open my eyes, then I'd freak out because now I had to hold my eyes closed for 3 hours again, and I thought I'd never get to sleep, and I'd end up running to my parents crying because I would never fall asleep.

I used to believe that before each dream.... little people in my head would move plugs around and put them into different outlets so i had exactly the right dream. Why I thought little people were in my head, who knows.....

i always believed that when you went to sleep that your eyes rolled back and looked at your brain until one day my mom said "im tired. i think i'll go watch the back of my eyelids." then i realized your eyes dont roll back.

I used to believe in the sandman - if I woke up in the middle of the night and wiped the "sand" from my eyes I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep
