My wife confronted me this AM with the fact that on more than one occasion I have been calling out the name of an old girlfriend in my sleep. She has said I have been saying “I love you XXX”. I am 68 YO and this girlfriend was back my high school and college years. I have not been in the company of, or laid eyes on this women in 45 years. We were each other’s first and the intimacy though “fumbling” turned into a heated scenario. I always thought I deserved a thank you note from her eventual husband. When it was over it was over and we went on with our lives.
I cannot control my subconscious, dreams or sleeping conversations but my wife is pissed. Thoughts?
This. There is nothing wrong with expressing love for the memory of some person from your distant past. They pose no threat to the present. No one, not even a spouse is entitled to control or dictate what you are allowed to remember. Is your wife insecure about other things OP?

Now I live alone and I don't know if I talk in my sleep. But when I lived with my parents and slept in the same room with my mother, she told me sometimes how I talked in my sleep. Mostly I used to yell "mommy". One time I was chatting with some guy on the internet before I went to sleep and we didn't say goodbye very well, so I was a little worried. And then in the morning my mom said I was calling out some weird name. It was the name of that guy. When I slept in the room with my sister, she told me how I asked her for a Masha doll, even though I never played it in real life. Apparently, I was dreaming about something, but I couldn't remember the dream.
Several times I woke myself up with my own talk. Mostly those were days when there was some kind of emotional experience. Not necessarily a strong one. Once I was riding in an amusement ride. Then I had nightmares and I talked in my sleep. Maybe you need to have sedation sessions before you go to sleep. For example, read a book or draw, maybe sing songs so there are no anxious thoughts.
My husband woke me during sleep one time with, "A saw? What do I need a saw for?"
I said, "Beats me."
His "mistress" was his shop in the garage.
