Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other

Summary

This quote humorously highlights the contrast between two kinds of speakers. Firstly, it refers to those who talk in their sleep, suggesting their thoughts and words are involuntary and often nonsensical. On the other hand, it satirically refers to lecturers who speak during presentations, implying that their speeches may be dull or lack engagement, causing listeners to zone out or fall asleep. Ultimately, this quote portrays speech as either unintentional and meaningless or consciously delivered, but potentially boring or monotonous.
