Reddit user syler345 asked: 'People who have partners that sleep talk, what all have you heard?'

As much as a person might overthink how their partner had a dream about someone else, people generally have very little control over what they dream about.

They have even less control over what they might say if they talk in their sleep, much to their loved ones' surprise and amusement.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.
