Dear LFTP: husband interrogates wife while she sleeps
- Should the sleep-talking wife confront her husband about interrogating her at night, or keep stressing about what she says in her sleep?
A Dear LFTP letter describes a woman who talks in her sleep and a husband who now stays up late to question her while she sleeps; her doctor said any answers would not be true or even related to the questions. The hosts advise having the actual conversation rather than avoiding it, then spiral into a long comedy riff about dreams: whether the brain can only replay things it has seen, nap-time talking anecdotes, one host's vivid dream memories, an airport-in-camo dream, and a deceased mother appearing in dreams. The Secular persona's answer is read: talk to your husband and clear the air. The show closes with a call to send in dreams for on-air interpretation — 'type up your dreams and send them in and we will interpret them' — with a joke against using Ambien first and a request to keep submissions 'generally not rated X'.
