You're right, Moonbeam. It's just that movement is inhibited in most people during sleep.

I don't know about "hyper-vigilance"...I just thought it was called "paying attention". One of the banes of my daily life is slow people who don't pay attention, though. I refer to them as pieces of "human cholesterol clogging the societal arteries".
I'll post more on this later - the part WVZ said about mentally idling well struck me and is another reason why I struggle staying on contact with people, especially on-line - but I wanted to share my wife's input. I told her that apparently there seems to be a common trend with sleep walking - she immediately glared at me and told me when I do sleep walk, it's always around 3 in the morning and I usually wander around looking for something to pee on. She also said she finds it less "interesting" than "frustrating"...but then I swear she makes up half of the sleep walking stories she's told me about myself.

O.o
Should you really house-break a werewolf? After all, they're just marking their territory. That story ought to be easy enough to verify, thought, that is, if you actually pee on anything.
Luckily, if I do sleep walk, I no longer do it outside because I sleep nude and live in an apartment complex.
I don't think I actually sleepwalk anymore. I do wake up, do things and go back to sleep. I don't wake up enough to remember doing them, though. I figure I do that because things get done and when I have llived with other people, they've actually awakened me to do something, I did it and went back to sleep without remembering it.

My mom said that I sleep walked when little, but I have a hard time considering her a credible source. I have a tendency to not sleep through the night, so I'll often get up to get drinks or use the bathroom at odd times before wandering back to bed. I have done that for as long as I remember, so I think that's what she was interpreting as "sleep walking." I have also been accused of talking in my sleep at times when I know I wasn't.
For example, there was this one time I when I was sleeping on a mattress in the corner of my mom's room. I had a really high fever, and I woke up with my throat so swollen that I could barely breathe or swallow. My mom was on her computer on the other side of the room. I really felt too weak to even sit up, so I kept calling out to my mom. It took a while before she responded, and when she finally did, I kept trying to ask her to get me a glass of ice water. I kept asking over and over, but I couldn't make her understand me. Finally, she turned her back to me and ignored me. So I laid in bed drifting in and out of sleep until I felt strong enough to get it on my own.
The next day, my mom told this story to my brothers and me a out how hilarious I was because I'd been talking in my sleep about how the room was on fire, and we had to get water to out it out right away. I was like... I was not asleep, and I really needed help, you jerk. But she refused to believe me because I was apparently talking "nonsense." So if she can't tell when I'm asking for help, I don't trust her to discern sleep walking either. None of the roommates that I haveived with over the years ever reported sleep walking.

Your mom sounds like a bad person Actually I remember waking up during a sleep walk session peeing, or rather, I just had. It was the flusing of the toilet that woke me up. I guess I got good aim in my sleep because there was no mess. But I know I had went because I could smell it in the air.

My parents have said I've sleep walked and talked before.. not alot and they never really told me what I did/said other than one time, my dad was coming home from his night classes -- apparently I came into the kitchen, got the cat food, gave my dad a hug and started walking back up stairs to my cat waiting on the bed.. Didn't really believe dad when he told me, but cat food was on the counter. Haven't slept walked or talked to my knowledge or soma's knowledge since I moved out of my parents.. well maybe talked... but dunno.

I know there is a thing were you do wake up but the part of your brain responsible for memories records it in such a way you can;t recall it the next morning, Regarding sleepwalking I have noticed if I lock my door I don't leave my room.
I also talk in my sleep too apparently. I have had people tell me that I cures up a storm that would make sailors blush and sometimes cry in my sleep. I'm an agree sleeper apparently. My mother has also said I make "strange animal sounds" in my sleep but I don't know about that no one else has said this

Hmmmm......I don't really know what kinds of sounds I make in my sleep, but a lot of SEHowlers prefer to set up tent at some distance from me.
Maybe that's why I don't leave my apartment any more - I lock my door.

What is interesting to me... I have had roommates say that I talk in my sleep. When they report the things I have said, none of it is even remotely related to whatever I had been dreaming that night. And this is for genuine sleep talking - not instances where I was at least half awake enough to be really trying to communicate.

I think I will try to put a sound recorder next to my bed and just record the entire 8 hours. I might try this for a week or till I get any results, if any... I've never been told that I make noises, so I have really no real reason to think that I would. But you never know, could be interesting. Now if I can find that old digital recorded I had years ago for school....

I've added a section on the phantom body under The Mind of a Were. It's necessarily short because we do not know that much about it. Funny - it's one of the most striking things about being Were and we know so little about it.
Next I work on empathy and language.
