It's a dysfunction of REM (dream wave) sleep. Instead of remaining recumbent in REM sleep, the brain is causing him to act out his dream. What he says or appears to see has nothing to do with you or anything in the room. It's happening in his head. Stress is often the cause of sleep disturbances. You can take a holistic approach and try something like acupuncture (Giles Davies at 15a Barry Road is very good) or hypnotherapy, or you can consult with a GP if you think there might be another medical condition relating to his sleep, eg nocturnal epilepsy (very rare). You could also keep a broom by the side of the bed. When he sits up, poke him the ribs with it until he wakes up. Then quickly hide the broom under the bed and pretend to be asleep yourself. ;-)
