Sleep wakings

So about a month or two ago, as J and I were getting ready for bed, we heard banging coming from Colin's room. I told J to go in quietly, just to make sure he was okay {maybe he fell out of bed} since the sounds would continue after several long pauses.  So he went, and I heard the door open, then a cry from Colin and then J's soothing tone.

A few minutes later he walks back in with Colin draped over his shoulder and looks at me quizzically, whispering: "that was the strangest thing I have ever seen. He was just standing in front of his dresser, opening and shutting the drawer"

Um, I'm sorry. What did you say?!

And the next thing you know, images from paranormal activity start flashing through my head {yah, from the trailers, uh, because I cannot watch those things}. What is this man saying, that my child might be possessed or something? I have heard of sleepwalking and such, especially of stories from back when I was in school, and I even remember a few nights last year when Colin was but a few months old and he would definitely be going through some sort of nightmare even though his eyes were open and looking around {I remember, we would get him and it would take him at least 5-6 minutes to recognize that we were his dadda and momma, as long as we kept soothing and talking to him, and yes, while he was 'awake'}

But this, I'm sorry, is so creepy. I'm just not used to it. Okay, well I shouldn't say that. J actually talks in his sleep. But really only just a few words at a time. Like "oh no, thats not what he said" or "watch out for the hole in the sidewalk" {what IS he dreaming about?} and actually just now he stretched and said "we shouldn't go there."
[I was once told if you catch them at the same tone and level of volume and ask them a question, you could continue the conversation. And I will guiltily, yet happily tell you that I have done that MANY a time.]
So I responded with "yah, definitely, right?" and got him to say "good thing we didn't go yesterday".

{I wish I knew what he was talking about. One of these days I'm going to get him to tell me a whole story and record it so he gets to hear it. One of these days...}

Anyway, so the accounts with my DH might be more on the hilarious side, but really because it just doesn't get much more exciting than that. But to get out of bed and start doing normal things, well, opening and closing drawers over and over again really isn't normal. It's creepy. Like scary movie-paranormal-ghostly- creepy.

I'm hoping its what the doctors and most people have said about this age; that it'll pass. What do you think? Any of you encounter phenomenons like this with your loved ones?

Really, just tell me that it's going to be okay.
