Why do some people talk in their sleep?

Jason Rihel - So, I am a sleep talker, but no one in my family over 30 some years of talking in my sleep have ever found me to say anything coherent whatsoever. So, I'm not certain if it's a subconscious way of trying to answer or say things that we otherwise wouldn't. It may just be just like when our eyes start rotating during dreams through REM sleep, Rapid Eye Movement. Perhaps when we're talking, it's also just kind of an automatic response like that.
