Is it normal to be violent in my sleep?

For the last several years whenever I stay at a friends house I have ended up being violent in my slumber. I have kicked my friends in my sleep numerous times and left bruises, hit people in the head, shouted death threats while asleep, and stolen things, biting whomever tried to take it back.... Is this normal? And is there a way to make it stop?? I hate hurting my friends much less without realizing it. :(

    First step would be to make sure you don't sleep on the same bed as your friends. Sleep away from your friends, far enough from where any involuntary motion won't hurt them. I suggest then that you fall asleep last so as to not disturb them in your sleep.
