This morning, as I was drying off from my shower, my darling wife stirred in the bed she didn’t have to leave for another hour and a half (bless her sleepy soul!). She mumbled something.
She usually doesn’t stir at that hour. Thinking it was probably something important, I stopped what I was doing, cocked my ear and asked “What, dear?”
This time she sat up. Eyes still closed against the light, she spoke slowly, clearly enunciating each word:
“Asset people feedback metal.”
Satisfied that she had communicated her message, she sank back into blissful repose.
I called her cell phone voicemail later this morning. “Call me back and tell me what this means to you: ‘Asset people feedback metal’.”
Baffled, she soon called me back. Of course she has no idea what might have been going on n her head when she intoned that message. She did get her day off to a good laugh, however.
A message from Beyond the Veil of Sleep? Does it hold meaning perilous or hopeful?
I woke one night to hear my college roommate talking in her sleep. She said, “and the porpoise laughed.” She finished with one of the earthiest, most knowing chuckles I’ve ever heard in my life.
I tried to get her to say more, but she’d reverted to mumbling. Damn it.
It’s been too long for me to remember the exact words she used, but when I was a kid, my mother would not only wake up and say weird things; she’d sometimes do it while sleepwalking. She’d walk out of the bedroom in her pajamas, loudly announce some apparently random selection of words, then calmly walk back to bed ( usually; sometimes we had to give her a little guidance in the right direction ).
Soon after we moved to Virginia, I was sound asleep when my wife let out a blood-curdling scream, pointed at the door of the closet and yelled, “They’re trying to get in!” She then laid right back down and went to sleep.
I, however, was up for the next 2 hours working off the adrenaline jag… :mad: :rolleyes:
It is a sign of the apocalypse… the rise of the machines.
How, you may ask? Let me elucidate:
Lets start with “Asset People”… Clearly she is referring to people being tagged with universal ID tags, like most corporations do with “asset tags”. So when she says, “Asset People” she is referring to people willingly being tagged… a sign of the end times.
“Feedback Metal” is clearly her warning of our impending approach of universal AI in our machinery. The machines, being fully sentient and knowing that the whole of humanity is tagged will then request that all that information be input (feedback) into its central database (metal) for tracking and information purposes, but its REAL motive will be to enslave the human race.
In a similar vein, as a 15 year old girl I was sleeping over at a friend’s house in a pitch black room with her and hearing her say quite clearly and non-chalantly “Hey, what’s that guy doing over there?”. My heart was pounding. I tried to whisper to her quietly so the man in the room wouldn’t hear but she didn’t say more. I was afraid to move and stayed awake for quite some time straining my eyes trying to see if someone else was indeed in the room. I planned my escape should the man attack us. Then she started talking some random nonsense and I realized she was talking in her sleep.
I have a friend that does this when she has just fallen asleep. Once she told me to look at the ballerina slippers on the ceiling and another time she proposed to me.
Alas, I don’t get hear any more of these wonderful comments because she is now married and we don’t hang out at absurd times of the night anymore.
My son, aged 4 or 5 at the time, once sat bolt upright in bed and announced indignantly, “Nikki won’t share that…that… MOSQUITO!” Then he flopped back down into a sound sleep.
He’ll be 18 in a month and I still tell that story.
An ex-girlfriend once told me a whole story about having to catch a plain so she could run for election with her party in Brazil… I don’t remember any more details, though.
