Do you ever wake up laughing?--start laughing in your sleep and wake yourself up with it?

It doesn’t happen to me all the time, but it probably occurs two or three times a year.

Example? Browsing through some old questions, I found this, which I’d totally forgotten about.

That was unique, though. Sometimes it’s just such a ridiculous sight or situation in the dream that it breaks right through the barrier of the unconscious. When I awaken and hear my husband grumbling in the dark, “Oh, God, not again, now what?” it makes me laugh even harder. Pretty hard to go back to sleep sometimes.

Does this ever happen to you?
