Because I am either sleeping lightly, or having a very vivid dream. If I have had a few drinks it can happen then too.

Might be because you supress things, you don't open up and your soul yearns to be expressed. When sleeping your brakes disappear and you talk out loud.

It's possible that you might be having a really intense dream that causes you to do this. If it really bothers you and makes you feel insecure, I'd recommend you seeing a nurse and you could discuss your options and how to deal with it.

There are things that you cannot contain, that even in your sleep you are sharing it :) or sometimes we are just dead tired.

You talk in your sleep can be do to an active subconscious. If you have a lot on your mind it can sometimes come out in our sleep if we won't speak it while awake

Sleep talking, or somniloquy, is the act of speaking during sleep. It's a type of parasomnia -- an abnormal behavior that takes place during sleep. It's a very common occurrence and is not usually considered a medical problem. The nighttime chatter may be harmless, or it could be graphic, even R rated

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 seem to stimulate the behavior. Sleep talking often occurs concurrently with other sleep disorders such as nightmares, confusional arousals, sleep apnea, and REM sleep behavior disorder.
