spitting during sleep?

[mela36]

Over the past few years, I noticed I started to literally spit in my sleep. I usually always drool, but this is not drooling. I literally will hawk back and spit in my sleep, sometimes more than once, and it isn't until afterwards that I know I did but by then I am half asleep and don't think or do anything of it instead I roll back over and go to bed. I never thought about it too much but I decided to ask because I googled it and couldn't find anything on the matter, aside from infants and children spitting up.

Does anyone else do this? Is it something I should be worried about?

Hello I am from Argentina.
This is my report about it: I am 31 years old, male.
Spit in half sleep happens to me some nights but only 1 or 2 spitts. Most of the time, I can't remember the spitting episodes but I can notice them because the next morning I see the rests of dry saliva in the floor. I always spit in the floor, next to my bed fortunely.
I barely remember that this happens when I dream about I am eating something with bad taste. this taste match with the real bad taste of my mouth, due bad breath caused of intestinal reflux in some cases. Also happens when I am dreaming about swallow a thing that can choking me. I consider this a sleep disorder, but it don't bother me much. I don't have girlfriend so, this don't affect me.

So, I know this is about 7 years late, but know that you are not alone. I myself have woken up numerous times spitting. Not only that, but finger combing my hair as well. I've woken up to a soaked pillow and cheek because I spat so much. Not a loogie, but just as if you were to spit out something you didn't like. My dreams are usually the same, I'm spitting out something for one reason or another and wake up as the spit is leaving my mouth. Or, I'll dream that I'm brushing or finger combing my hair and wake up to a bunch of hair in my fingers as I've literally been combing out knots for about an hour. Or there's a bunch of hair on my pillow or off the side of my bed. The spitting one is by far the worst. I don't like either one of them, especially waking up right in the middle of the act to the horror that I've obviously been doing this for a while before I've become conscious and that I had no control over my body's actions. I have never spoken to anyone about it because it's most definitely not normal. But, I too, have wondered, "What the ****?".

I bet none of the posters can prove  it wasn't a cough that woke them up. There is nothing unusual about doing that in your sleep, so it was a waste of time for everyone here to be worried about this non-issue.

I just did the same thing yesterday. I woke and spit over the side of my bed and I was angry. The funny thing is I remember what I was dreaming. I was dreaming that I was brushing my teeth over and over and that’s why I was spitting. Don’t know why I was angry though. Weird. First time ever doing this too. I remember I used to pretend I was holding a phone and talking in my sleep but I was basically just talking to my hand. That lasted for months. I hope the spitting problem doesn’t persist.

i do have the same dream, i think its some thing spiritual becos the period i do have these dreams is always wen am drifting in my spirit and am trying to find a way back to track, i sense it as deliverance from something, most tyms i wud be actually brushing my tongue and it wud be so dirty and slimmy and so thick it can hardly come out, so to me its either spiritual n or deliverance from something you ate in the dream, and usually after these dream i try to find my way back to God.. i had the dream yesterday night i was vomiting saliva so thick it could hardly come out on its own, i was spitiing everywhere and woke up spitting all over my dress and bed. everytime you have thee dreams always try to observe the events that happen to you prior to the time and after this time

I do it all the time. My boyfriend always gets mad at me because i do it a lot of the time while cuddling. I have no clue why but i wish i knew how to stop. I didnt realize so many people had the same problem. It happens when im falling asleep, almost as im about to actually fall asleep. It happens when im really relaxed so its not stressed related with me. My jaw also twitches a lot before i fall asleep. I would really like some answers like all of you.
