more sleep talking....
well, shouting really

my mate Tom is quite a loud person, as are the rest of his family, and they used to have loud shouting matches, often in front of his friends.

one night a couple of us were staying round his place (probably around the age of 13).

Tom was asleep and shouting and swearing loudly. This sounded exactly like the sort of shouting and swearing he would do whilst awake and arguing with his brother.

Naturally my other friend and I found this highly amusing and laughed out loud for an extended period.

The shouting and laughter became more and more intense until one of us noted that Tom was now sat up in bed and had been shouting at us for laughing for the previous couple of minutes.

We couldn't tell the difference between sleep shouting and awake shouting.

We were at a festival this weekend just gone and I swear I heard him shouting in his sleep in another tent. God knows what he was saying though
