Talk:Sleep-talking

Dream stories

I remember a few years back I was reading on Wikipedia about a guy who narrated his dreams aloud while he slept. His stories were apparently very bizarre, and both audio recordings and transcripts were made available. Does anyone know who this is?? Psychlohexane (talk) 05:24, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Edgar Casey Might be who you are thinking of, he was a sleeping prophet.

Copy Edit

I think some of the sentences in the introduction are a little long and can be broken up into smaller, more concise sentences. There are also a couple run-on sentences that could be eliminated to vary sentence structure. To better illustrate important ideas it was nice to see a list of related topics such as night terrors and sleep walking. Overall the important ideas and noted and easy to find throughout the article. There are no grammar errors or punctuation errors that I noticed. Great article.

Somniloquy → Sleep-talking – per WP:COMMONNAME. "Sleep-talking" is a far more common term for this than "somniloquy" as demonstrated by this Google Ngrams and this one. Note that such naming has precedent, with the most prominent example being sleepwalking, instead of somnambulism. Keivan.f^Talk 20:47, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

• Support, significantly more accessible to readers. Also the common term in medical journals – Pubmed since 2000: "Somniloquy" 21 results, "sleep talking" 77 results. – Thjarkur (talk) 21:19, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
• Support per nom. While I love learning new words, "Sleep-talking" is the common term for this phenomenon, both in regular common language and in medical journals. Paintspot Infez (talk) 23:39, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
• Support a move, although it's unclear to me if "sleep-talking" or "sleep talking" should be preferred, whether we're going by Google Ngrams or other evidence. I'd be fine with either. Adumbrativus (talk) 04:49, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
