HI,
You can't really tell. If they are awake enough to hear the question, then they might be actually "thinking" when they hear it, or might not be. It could be answer partly from the sub-conscious, like a dream.
I say lots of things in my sleep ... or so my wife tells me ... But no matter how exciting, dirty, or boring they are ... they're just brain droppings that really can't be placed in the context of a normal conversation.
Well I know that I slept talked a few years back and my partner at the time was asking me questions to which I replied. In the morning he told me all the things he asked me and all the things I replied with. Everything I had said was true, it was all inside my head and some of things I had told him in response to his questions I had not told anyone about. It was a little freaky but it was all true. I found it totally bazarre. I sleep talk all the time and it's usually a load of rubbish or in connection with something with a dream that I am having based on events of the day before, but that one occasion really freaked me out.
when i was a teen i woke up one morning with a phone in my hand and the voice saying "whats the phrase that pays?!"
my radio was set on one station all the time and was playing in the morning. i apparently heard their promo, called in, was the right number caller. i got the answer right and i won, no joke, a frozen turkey.
took care of thanksgiving that year. =)
other than occasional mumblings i dont do much else in my sleep that ive been told.
tho... about two weeks after i was married and moved in with my wife i had some freak episode of loud gas two nights in a row that woke us both out of dead sleep. sounded like a jack hammer. she'd say "what was that?" and i'd say "I DON"T KNOW!" =)
im sure my wife had second thoughts about whether this marriage was going to last, if i did that all night long all the time. six years later we're still married so i guess all well.
Do you always dream the truth? If so, then I suppose an answer given while sleeping could be assumed to be true... However, I have many dreams of flying in the air, something I have yet to achieve while awake. But if you were to ask me if I was flying while in one of these dreams, I would likely answer "yes." Would you be asking this question right now if this was the case??
