Venus will bat and paw my husband awake at all hours of the night. He used to get all annoyed and say, "Why don't you bother Mommy?" Then one night, I was sleeping but he was wide awake. He saw Venus approach me and literally jumping my chest. My breathing didn't change one bit. Then, suddenly, snoring and all, my hand crept up and clumsily began petting Venus. I never once woke up and had no memory of this, but apparently Venus has trained me to pet her in my sleep.
