Speaking A Language I Never Learned

Have you ever talked or sung in your sleep so loudly that it wakes you up? Well, I have done that at least four times in the last few years but the languages I have been speaking or singing in are unknown to me.

I do speak French and Spanish but the languages I am hearing myself say when sleep talking sound like Arabic, Indian or some native American language. I don’t think I have been consistent in the languages I am talking in either because each time I talked or sang the languages sounded different from the previous time!

I have never been afraid when this has happened to me, just mystified by what it might mean. Am I channeling other spirits when I dream? Are these people from past lives? Is this a spiritual experience like what was written about in the Bible’s book of Acts and First Corinthians, with people speaking many languages. Some people call this speaking in tongues or glossolalia, a spiritually-focused language. I have also heard it referred to as xenoglossy, which is speaking in a real language but one unknown to the speaker.

I have no idea why I keep doing this but wanted to share my experiences with others to see if this has ever happened to you or to someone you know.  I also recorded a few seconds of what I was singing in my sleep so loudly that it woke me up. It sounds like I am singing “my yo hon e ay yo, ay yo.” Does this mean anything in a native American tongue or any other language? Have a listen and tell me what you think.
