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?

Hello everyone,
I'm a Brazilian and I've experienced this "sleep sppiting thing" a few times now. I can't affirm with absolute sure if it has cause or if it's a random event, but I don't think it's related in any way to the dream I'm having as, from what I can remember from the tree times it happened to me, the spitting never had any context within my dreams. I guess it happened because I felt like spitting in real life due to physiological reasons and it came up in the dream just before I had to do it, waking myself up as consequence. Also, I would like to point out that I have no salivation issues or any problems I can relate, and that so far my spitting only happened when I was sleeping in fetal position and my only victims were the side of my mouth and my pillow. If I had to guess I'd say it's just normal and perfectly fine.

I find that I gob all over the walls and my partner after I have drank wine and have been in a deep sleep. Apparently I really Gob and I have to scrub the carpets and walls the next day!!!
Alcohol can cause over production of mucus.
However, I also find that during the week, when I don't drink I am waking up with lumpc of Phlegm in my mouth. During the day and night, my mouth is so dry and my lips are cracked.
The doctor has fgiven me nasal sprays and allergy tablets but they don't work!!!

I'm taking celexa!  And this just started happening after getting switched to a new generic by Aurobindo Pharm.  I was taking a generic by Amneal Pharm for years.

I've woke up 3 times in the past month to find myself spitting, as many others as in a dream, but really doing it.  I started taking this new generic about a month and a half ago...

Interesting.  I was already thinking of switching back due to some other side effects I have noticed, but I think this seals the deal!

Thanks Wendylady!
