sleepwalks
Wanders while dreaming
Sleepwalks is the verb for walking or performing activities while asleep, a phenomenon also called somnambulism.
The sleepwalker typically has no memory of the episode: She sleepwalks almost every night.
Figuratively, to sleepwalk through something is to do it mechanically, without awareness or engagement: He sleepwalked through the entire meeting.
