Hi Scott,
I don't know how the UK military view the subject, but the American military have a rule that you are not held accountable for your actions for the first 5 seconds after you wake up. I'm sure they had a few bad experiences with that to actually make it part of military law. That's why, when you see a military movie and the platoon sargeant comes in and wakes the men, he'll be hitting a trash can or an empty bunk to wake them, to avoid getting hit himself. I only had one woman tell me I hit her in my sleep, and when I asked what I was doing in my sleep and what she did, she explained that I was tossing and turning, sweating alot, and saying things in a forceful way, and she tried to comfort me by holding me. I think what that did was add the feeling of being restrained to my already overwhelming dream, so I lashed out to get free. And I've never hit a woman in my life. It would have been nice to get a pamphlet, as I was getting out of the army, that told me what kinds of things to expect. I felt guilty too, but you honestly aren't responsible for what you do in your sleep. I hope this helped ease your conscience.
Who was it that said they get get anxious every time something big and bulky is in their mouth:naughty::wink:. Isn't that like, a sexual innuendo? HA! HA! HA!
To veiled:
You might try looking for a dentist who specializes in childrens dentistry, no really. That's what I did, and I felt foolish walking in and avoiding all the Legos on the floor, but I spent alot of time at dentists when I was a kid, and I didn't relish re-living what I went through then. And it was the right thing, too because a childrens dentist HAS to be gentle, or they won't have any customers left. And here's where I'll get funny again. The dentist was a female, so I didn't get anxious when she put something big and bulky in my mouth:biggrin:, but she got a little flushed in the face when I told her to be gentle:biggrin:.
