Steady.
I don't think I've ever mentioned it anywhere - except here once and briefly - so I'd don't know if it's just a personal idiosyncrasy or a common experience ( I suspect the former). Occasionally when I wake in the morning and stretch and yawn I don't merely inhale air but expel a slew of nonsense words which for all the world sounds like I'm speaking in an African or sometimes native American tongue. I'm conscious of doing it but not consciously deciding to do it if you see what I mean. Although I could easily not do it, so it's not like it's out of my control. What intrigues me is that it does genuinely sound like I'm speaking another language.
I'm sure the more imaginative members of the Fortean realm will hear "Native American" and immediately think of their frequent cliched associations with a medium's spirit guide. But it is assuredly nonsense I'm uttering.
Nonetheless I've a fantasy I'll actually be overhead one day by someone who identifies it as a real language and understands it . That would be delightfully unnerving.
Does anyone else do this? Or should I suddenly look sheepish and step out of the room because you're all staring blankly at me?
