Maybe he is being fed sumbliminal messages somehow through his mic and it's coming out in his dreams. BB must be messing with him BIG time!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - kidding, just kidding!

I thought it was funny when he said "Marcellas kissed me on the cheek the other day, you know". Especially because of the *way* he said it. Like he was happy (or at least amused) about it. :)

I think it was hilarious when Eric said, "hey Lisa".
She whispered "What?"
He said, "Two".

I may never laugh so hard at the word "two" again, but I had tears rolling down my face.

That was two funny ; )

I had a roomate who talked in her sleep just like Eric. Full conversations. We knew when it would start because she would raise her hand.
We would listen to her to see what she was thinking and then ask her stuff. She would always answer! It was a riot!:)

I have a niece who was a sleep walker/talker when she was very young. There was lots of discussion in the family of how wierd and funny it was. Now that she's an adult she has admitted that after a while she faked most of it because of all the attention. Its very hard to know when its real. She knew that we expected "nonsense" statements so she gave them to us. Something to think about.

Gives him extra TV time.

I think it is the best reason to watch the TV show. I also think he seriously needs a sleep disorder workup when he's out of the house.

I know I will miss Eric talking in his sleep if he is evicted! I think for entertainment bb should show the houseguests tapes of Eric talking in his sleep.

I've never seen anyone move around like he does while he is sleeping!

Kits - I'll admit that whether I believe it is real or not - last night I was relieved that when I saw Eric & Lisa getting in bed (on the show) that BB was just doing another "bit" on the sleep-talking. At first I thought "oh no, not touchy-feely lovey-dovey again". I would rather watch him (even if its fake) sleep-talking than making out. Just me, of course.

I looked it up and found it's called "somniloquy" and the reference says: "Sleep talking is a normal phenomenon and is of no medical or psychological importance." Also noted that relaxation/meditation may help as well as reducing stress overall. One reference said it may signal the presence of other mental or physical problems but that seemed to be a minority opinion.

So I say let him jabber. LOL It's more entertaining than his day-time conversations. :)

Lisa will always know if there's another woman in his life, becuase he'd talk about it in his sleep.
On the other hand, he better be careful, she could misinterpret something.

I've been told I sometimes sleeptalk, its usually when I'm exhausted, and have a lot on my mind, and sometimes I know I "should" answer dh, so I'm kinda aware... (but only sometimes! and my ds also sleep walks and talks, not often!) and I think Eric could have some of that,(face time has to be important to some of the hamsters!) but I also think that a LOT of it is real, it is hysterical, and when Lisa got up to another bed, I dont think she was joking, or that Eric was either! So I think there will always be a debate, but I also think it will always be entertaining!! (much more than snoring!!)

When in college I had a roommate for a few months who used to sleepwalk. I was very amused the night he became a tour guide around the room (while holding a can of deodorant) "please follow me"

Reader234 - I just threw out the "fakery/attention getting" idea as an option to consider. I also actually think that some of what we've seen that he's done is REAL. I'm just not so sure about all of it. And let me whole-heartedly agree!!!! I'd rather watch that than lots of other possibilities. The parts that "feel" real to me were really funny/creepy - definitely entertaining.

Does anyone think Eric sounds or acts like Brad Pitt when he's sleep talking? Hearing his voice and seeing his gestures reminds me of a film Brad did.. maybe it was Fight Club or 7 Monkeys... can't quite place the film..

I was alone at 2am watching the show last night and was laughing out loud. He said something and used a simple word then called himself a shmuck for not thinking of a better word. He mocks himself in his sleep! Priceless!!Josh calling him psycho in the DR was pretty funny too.

Me ex used to talk in his sleep also. Most of it was jibberish but sometimes he'd come out with full sentences.

One night he started whispering loudly "Linda (that's me lol), Linda" I said yes and he said "You're right, you're right"

I was ecstatic, the first time he had ever said I was right, in 17 years!!!

Then he said "You're right of the pin"
