 Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2012 8:42 am Post subject: Sleeping in Defensive Posture |
 #1 |
I have been told that when I am sleeping I take defensive postures. For example, an ex told me that I always sleep with one hand up protecting my neck. She also said I sleep in a shrimp-like position. Finally, when I roll over in bed I bridge and bring my lower leg under, thus, switching my hips instead of the traditional roll over. What about you guys?  |

Yeah, I do hip outs when I roll from one side to another in bed, I had a dream about choking somebody out with a triangle last night too.

I thought I was a BJJ addict!!!
Cool guys! You should look up lucid dreaming too, maybe you could get a couple more hours of training in at night.

Come to think of it, I sleep with my hands protecting my neck, too. Funny!
I don't think I shrimp in my sleep though.

LOL glad i'm not nuts...
My wife always says when hug her to sleep, i'm always underhooking her far arm. The other night I got pissed at her cause she woke me up middle of night like 4am so i can see what i was doing to her leg, when i look i had half guard locked on her near leg.... LOL but i was still pissed... fkkng up my sleep. To return the favor I just told her push off with other leg and unhook it and went straight back to sleep. LOL
They don't tell you this s*** when you sign up... |

The mood is set. Candles on the mantle, flower petals on the bed and you are with the woman of your dreams. She has smooth skin, long hair that goes down her back. A soft record plays in the background as you get into bed together... and all of a sudden...
Before we do this baby, I need you to sign this...
What? What the heck is this?!
THIS, Sir Issac Newton, is a liability form.
FOR WHAT?!
It clearly states that I am not responsible if I injure you in my sleep using martial art techniques including, but no limited to, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Boxing, and Sambo.
You're joking...
No way! Just last week I had a girl over and she got- HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? |

| This is funny. I woke up this morning wondering if anyone else does this. I have only been going a few weeks but I've noticed that I have had BJJ dreams and have woken up doing shrimp-like motions. |
