The Messenger

You might have heard people talking in their sleep. You might have seen people walking in their sleep. But have you heard of anyone sending text messages in their sleep. Not texting in their dreams but actually smsing while asleep. I guess, probably not. Well don't worry. You now know. Me.

This happened a couple of years ago. My grandmother had passed away about a week before that day. And some rituals were to be performed that day. A lot of relatives had assembled in my home, but noone amongst those people knew how to sms. In any case i go off to sleep. NIght passes off pleasantly,
But at around 6.15 a.m Naren calls me asking: where the hell are you? I am waiting by the bus stop. Come quickly so that we can go to college and play tennis.
Me: (blabbering) some rituals to be performed. Can't come.
Naren: Then why the fuck did you message me about an hour ago saying you have left home and on the way to the bus stop.
Me: I thought only I am blabbering. Go bacvk to sleep. I never sent such a message.
Naren: Arsehole. Tension yettadai. Its there in my inbox and it'll be there in your outbox.
Me: Anyway can't come today. will meet you tomo.

Well that woke me up alright. I still didn't couldn't believe I sent the message. I didn't have the faintest memory. So i actually go and check the outbox. And what do you know? The message was actually there. A longish message, sent at 5 a.m saying that I would be at the bus stop in ten minutes. The message had a smiley after every second word. Definitely not my style. So i start thinking who would have sent such a message. But definitely noone in my house. Completely perplexed me, and also slightly spooked me out. Couldn't believe i sent it, and also rejected the idea i messaged it in my sleep. As i felt it would be impossible to cross half the room to reach the mobile, unlock it, go to the create message option, type the message and send it.

But a couple of days ago read in the newspaper, in the science section, someone sent an e-mail in their sleep. That is even crazier. As here you have to even type in passwords. This incident completely surprised neuroscientists as they believed sleep walking involved only simple motor functions and not complex usage of cognitive ability. Well when i read it I remembered my message, and concluded reluctantly that I must have sent the message in my sleep.

If i do something even crazier I'll post here. Sexiest thing would be if I actually sign in and write a blog article while asleep. Wait a second I don't remeber writing this. No chance. Was this in my sleep. I don't know.
