I don't know if this would count, but I have had many experiences of sleep-talking (and I talk in my sleep). It was usually when (in my misspent youth) I was with my lover, and we didn't get to see each other much, and we would try to stay awake and talk as long as possible. What would happen was that we would be saying totally nonsensical things, not even making sentences, as our sleepiness grew. There was no comprehensible topic, just random words.
I would not worry about crazy if I were you; but I would mention it at my next doc appt. if it still bothers you. If you were going crazy, I think you would have many more significant signs.

> This sounds absolutely normal to me. All my life, this is what going to sleep has meant.I like to relax and enjoy it. If it is unusual for you, you might consider checking out Jung's writings on "Active Imagination", wherein he talks about how to harness this process to gain insight and enrichment, to enhance your conscious life. For now, though, I'd recommend you not worry about it! You're not going crazy. You may be on the brink of some exciting new discoveries.
