Sleep Talking, Sleep Terrors and Nightmares

Many children, and a few adults, talk in their sleep. Sleep talking is sometimes, but not always, associated with dreaming and the rapid eye movement-phase of sleep. It is not usually considered a disorder, and most children outgrow it. But if the sleep talking is vulgar or violent, it can be a sign of other problems.
