Why Do Some People Talk in Their Sleep?

Some people talk in their sleep because their brain is still working while they're asleep. Imagine you're playing a game and you don't know when to stop, you might keep talking even when you're not awake. This happens during the stage of sleep where your brain is busy with dreams, and sometimes it just lets out what it's thinking.
