I love it when he talks to me in his sleep Tweet

We try to vary who gets a hug at night, but somehow I end up at an advantage, and without asking for it (all the time). It often becomes a logistical challenge, though, as I spend quality time with my iPod Touch long after he's fallen asleep, and twisting and turning in search of a more comfortable reading position isn't an option. Last night, however, I had to get out of bed entirely, and that was very much able to wake him up. So the following dialog ensued, to minimize side effects, and because you can talk to him while he sleeps, even if he won't recall it the next day:

Me, softly spoken: I'll see you in a minute.
Him: Hmm?
Me, slightly louder: I'll see you in a minute.
Him: OK.

Conscience clear, I could then roll out of bed smoothly, and count on him still being in a hug posture upon my return.

Him: Be careful.

What never fails to bug me in such circumstances is: what is he dreaming about?! And how is it fair that I'll never ever know?!
