"the houses are haunted by white night-gowns"

[ghostdrive]

It seems I've taken to sleepwalking again. I did this often when I was a kid, usually waking up in various places around the house. The weirdest was when I ended up underneath my brother's bed; in the darkness I thought I was covered with my bedsheets so I knocked my head pretty hard on his bed frame trying to get up. Its a good thing he was a pretty heavy sleeper back then since he probably would have freaked out at the sight of me crawling out like some pale, wild-haired bed-monster.

Another time I woke up in the kitchen, but instead of going back to my room I ate a piece of bread and went right back to sleep on the cold tile floor. I . . .don't really know why. The kitchen thing happened several more times and each time I'd alternate between eating either a slice of bread or a slice of cheese. What a strange ritual it became.

This time my sleepwalking has yet to take me outside of my room; the only things I seem to do (the only ones I've noticed, anyway) are to turn my ceiling fan on/off and fling my socks into the far corners of my room. Fairly innocuous, but damn, do I hate waking up to freezing feet.

i never had that kind of problem, but my sister did when she was little. i remember me and my father we're staying up late watching tv and my sis walks out of her room and squats over the trashcan to use the bathroom. dad woke her up before she started. she wouldnt believe us for the longest time lawls. and perhaps the closest i came to sleepwalking was when i went to bed early around 7 pm and said good night to my grandma and sister. i woke up only 30 min. later. when i looked outside it looked like the sun was just rising (but was just the opposite) and i even looked at the analog clock to see the time my grandmother and sis hadnt moved since i last saw them. but i said, "good morning" anyway, and pointed out that they were in the same place i left them. grandma new what was going on and told me that they had already ate breakfast and to help myself. so i made a bowl of oatmeal and sat down to watch tv with them. my sister didnt understand what was going on but my grandma was cracking up.
