spitting during sleep?

[mela36]

Over the past few years, I noticed I started to literally spit in my sleep. I usually always drool, but this is not drooling. I literally will hawk back and spit in my sleep, sometimes more than once, and it isn't until afterwards that I know I did but by then I am half asleep and don't think or do anything of it instead I roll back over and go to bed. I never thought about it too much but I decided to ask because I googled it and couldn't find anything on the matter, aside from infants and children spitting up.

Does anyone else do this? Is it something I should be worried about?

I am also facing the same problem from many years like 5times a year... My observations are
Increased sugar intake the previous day, which causes the oral cavity to feel discomfort and do it...
Try brushing teeth before sleep and reply your observations here... Thanks...

I have had this issue for more than 6 years in different ways. But always trying to spit out an object, almost every night!!! I believe the theory, that is very scary, that is something spiritual, I really believe I am very sensitive to emotions and energy. I have done sleep study, gone to several psychologist and depending on their beliefs is what they tell you you might have. We have to strengthen your spirit in a way that you are not scare and you don't let anything interfere with your peace. I try to pray, truly pray, with all my heart for protection, always with a lot of faith in Jesus. When I do that I sleep like a baby, I am not saying just to repeat a prayer I am saying to commit spiritually to the only good in this Universe, God. You cannot be living a life that takes you away from God. When I start making mistakes, forgeting to pray, being afraid again I starts with these nightmares right the way. Hold the hand of God, Jesus is the only way. Have you ever wonder why exorcist or haunted houses need to have a blessing or a deliverance prayer under Jesus's name to bring peace again, to fight evil. Same thing here.

This just started happening to me. I've been a side sleeper my whole life and have never snored..ever. Just recently..last few months, I've been waking up at the end of spitting. It literally just happened just before I googled this. I was dreaming of putting together a lawn sprayer and this..um crap(have no clue what it was) was pouring out of my mouth in my dream. I woke up to my lips vibrating in the motion of a girl spit (which I never do while wake..always been a hocker). Strange, but I've been unable to sleep for about 3-4 years without medication or being extremely exhausted. I lol'd at a few of the comments which made me feel better about it..as I, also thought I was alone. Ty all for your stories and experiences, because to be honest..it scared the crap outta me :O to add..this morning I find out from other family members I was also snoring last night during the 4 hours I was able to sleep. I have been through abuse, and have sleep problems so there are two "symptoms" to research. Thanks everyone for making me feel better about it.. But, I do hope to figure out the cause..because it is a bit disturbing. Lol

Last night I had fallen asleep and about an hour later I was beginning to dream and in my dream I was spitting on the ground which is something I never do in waking life.  I wasn't just spitting on the ground though- I filled my mouth with the biggest gob of saliva I could and then started spitting it out like a string through my teeth and lips and it was a lot of spit!  The only thing was that I was on my back and the feeling of my globby spit running down the right side of my cheek and onto my neck toward my ear and hair woke me right up quick.  I couldn't believe that I just spat on myself. What the heck?
