Default Talk in your Sleep?

I'm sitting here at my computer looking for an s2000 to purchase, basically minding my own business. Its almost 8am in the morning, i haven't been to sleep yet because i'm pumped about maybe getting a 2nd s2000...(sold my first one so I could go to school). Well my friend is staying over here and what you have to know is he works for DirecTV as a Technical Service Representative. For those who dont know, directv is a satallite Tv company like dish network, ect ect. Well hes worked there for like 6 months and I know for a fact that when you work at these type of places you have scripts on your computer that basically tell you or explain what you should say/ask the customer in any situation. My friend for the past couple months, as for some of my other friends told me and for which I just experienced tonight, talks in his sleep. But the weird thing is, is what hes talking about in his sleep. When hes talking its like hes on the phone with a customer either selling someone a plan, upgrading there plan or fixing an issue with the satallite/signal from their tv crap. Tonight he was like "well for 5 dollars more a month you can get this added to your plan and if you want to go ahead and upgrade to more channels you can switch to this plan which will cost you 20 dollars and 50cents a month more" and ect ect. Do you know anyone else that does this? If you worked somewhere for 6 months or more where you read sometimes the SAME script to someone 10 times a day over and over everyday....its a possibility thats what your going to dream about and then sometimes enforce you to talk in your sleep? It didnt freak me out I just found it...interesting. Tell all or comment if u wish...

i don't think he is merely regurgitating lines out of habbit. i think he is actually in the midst of a dream, and his dream most like revolves around some subconscious concern, fear, and/or obsession. it may or may not be relating to his job. nonetheless, he is having the dream for a reason, whatever that reason may be.

My friend sleeps with his eyes open. Sometimes it looks like he's dead. Now that's creepy.
