15 years ago I was admitted to a hospital and the nurse gave me some Ativan, at night, because I had the “talkies” then I had a sandwich and a long hot shower. What is it? The next morning I was shipped off to a mental health hospital for 14 days then sent home.

Don’t know for sure but I imagine it is babbling in an agitated state. Hence, the ativan.

Speaking in your sleep? Sleepwalking?

It sounds to me like it was her own little reference to whatever you had going on.
