Spiders in our sleep?

Is it true that we swallow spiders in our sleep. Apparently someone told me EVERYONE does it without knowing, and I just can’t imagine myself doing that. Especially since I sleep on my stomach with my head underneath a pillow every night.

Just think about this. Millions of people around the world swallow something creepy-crawly in their sleep EVERY day. Why not spyders?

The way you sleep ought to keep anything out of your mouth, including fresh air! ;-}

No, I doubt everyone swallows spiders in their sleep, though a friend of mine has been bitten on the mouth by a possible spider when she was asleep. Her lip swelled up. (She also may have bitten herself. [a mean little lol])

She’s the only person I’ve ever heard of that happening to, and I’m really, really old…so I should know, right? And I’ve never heard the “swallowing spiders” bit, either. Life’s gettin’ crazier, innit?

that is false. when u are awake and something unwanted goes into ur mouth,do u just let it keep crawling? NO, u react. Your instincts doesnt rest when u are sleeping. so if something were to crawl in ur mouth while u are sleeping, ur natural instinct would be to spit it out or wake up. not swallow it.
