This is a bizarre one but injuries from dreams

Totally bizarre but totally true and I've now got the scars to prove it.
Happened last night and hats off to NHS staff from paramedics to Aand E staff.
Funny now but certainly not at the time.
Was dreaming that I was playing cricket and diving to catch the ball. Obviously no ball there but managed to dive onto the bedside cabinet from a deep sleep. Nice cut on my jawline and managed to get to the bathroom to clean myself up and pull myself around. Wife had joined me by then and in my hazy state I just said I wanted to go back to bed. Made it to the bedroom and totally passed out and face planted the floor going down. Broken nose as well and one or two grazes. Can't remember a thing until paramedics started treating me. Tough old time for the Mrs dealing with a 17 stone bloke but she did amazing, bless her.
I have never as much as slept walked never mind diving out of bed trying to catch a bloody cricket ball. To top it all I actually remember dropping the ball 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Any more dream/sleep type injuries out there?

Class that 😂

I sleep walk regularly, I ran into the balcony doors in our room on the top floor on holiday, good job they were closed really, ended up with a gash to the head though.

I seem to be half awake and half asleep and look at shadows as though they’re people or monsters 🤷🏼‍♂️ so quite regularly look, talk and point with the occasional jump up to fight whatever I’m looking at, the missus hates me most mornings 🙈
 
Used to suffer from Night Terrors when I was younger and used to kick out in my sleep. Badly bruised toes occasionally but nothing as extreme as broken bones.
 
Just for completeness... are you a keen cricket fan or player in the past. Because if not, you need to be having an emergency meeting with your numskulls , at least the night shift ones

Don't mind watching a bit of cricket mate but I certainly ain't no superfan.

When Boro got to fa cup final I shared a double bed in London with my dad who had a metal cage around his leg after a compound fracture…I dreamt about the match the next day but apparently I was booting **** out of his leg all night.
 
I sleep walk (and talk) now and again but I've never had an injury from it until this week, only very minor though. I fell asleep on the sofa the other day after playing football and similarly I was dreaming about it and I reacted to something by sticking my leg out. I kicked the leg of the coffee table. Really hurt my toe but not bad enough to need an A&E visit thankfully.
 
When I was a child, I slept then sleepwalking. I opened the door from my own bedroom and walked down the stairs. Come to mom's bedroom and turn on the light.
My mother was shocked and asked what was the matter.
I woke up to my mother's question. And I can't tell her why I came down.
My mother solved the problem by letting me sleep on a narrow bed (before that, I slept on the floor).
I sleepwalked off the bed once and my head bulged.
After that, I never sleepwalked again. Today, I still sleep in the same narrow bed. Only the bed is lower than before.
 
Yes - a bad end to a brilliant dream.
Playing at Wembley for England. Centre midfield and things were ticking over nicely, I kept receiving the ball under pressure but turning into space and picking out passes. Also closing down well and intercepting to win the ball. Really enjoying the applause from the crowd and the slick passing me and my teammates were putting together.
Then we get a corner, and the ball is half-cleared to me running on to it on the edge of the area, a perfect trajectory to hit it on the half-volley, I can already picture the net rippling...
Ayaz! The top of my foot hits the bedpost hard. I thought I might've broken it but turns out it was just badly bruised, but I was limping for a few days.
Shame, as I never normally have dreams that I remember and are as nice as that one, plus I'll never know if it went in!
 
I sleep walk when I am suffering from lack of sleep and am so exhausted that I sleep very deeply (normally I wake up so I realise what I am doing and I sleep very lightly). Anyway, the only injury I had was, once the ex Mrs found me in the built in wardrobe and asked what I was doing. I apparently replied that I was helping James Herriot birth a calf as it was stuck. I then pulled on a (non existent) rope and twisted my ankle as I stepped backwards out of the cupboard.

A visit to A&E simply showed a sprain the next morning. I remember nothing of this at all except the injury. 😳
 
the wife talks gibberish in her sleep. <Insert your own joke here>

I occasionally wake myself up shouting something random, as I wake up I can never remember what it is I'm shouting or why.
