Sleep talking may be brought on by stress, depression, fever, sleep deprivation, day-time drowsiness, alcohol, and fever. In many instances sleep talking runs in families, although external factors tend to stimulate the behavior. Sleep talking often occurs concurently with other sleep disorders such as nightmares, confusional arousals, sleep apnea, and REM sleep behavior disorder.

It's normal, really. Depending on your dream, it could mean different things. If you're scared, you could be trying to wake up and get attention. If you're happy, you could just be laughing!

This is beacuse it is a disorder when you are stressed or think too much about a particual thing your subconscience and your conscience both acknowledge and when we sleep our subconscience brain is working so that is why you talk in your sleep.

Talking in your sleep is quite common, the good news is sleep talkers normally only speak for 30 seconds and experts believe that what you say is not a product of a conscious or rational mind so if you say something embarrassing it's not your fault!
