Man cut off member in sleep while dreaming of cutting eat

A man is in hospital and trying to raise funds for surgery after accidentally cutting his own t*sticles off while sleeping.

Ghanaian farmer Kofi Atta, 47, dozed off in an armchair and said he managed to pick up a knife and injure himself whilst dreaming about cutting meat.

Still in a dream-like state, he called for two neighbours who rushed to his house and found him alone, covered in blood.

Speaking to BBC Pidgin he said: “I was sitting in my chair when I dozed off. In my sleep I dreamt that I was cutting some meat in front of me.

“I don’t remember how I picked up the knife, even I am confused.”

He explained that he was still unsure of what had happened when his neighbours arrived, although he stood up and felt a sharp pain in his genitals.

Perhaps as a result of the loss of blood, Kofi only came out of the dream state when in hospital. That’s when he realised he hadn’t been chopping up food for a family meal, but rather his own testicles.

Doctors treated his gruesome wounds earlier this month but have told him he needs to undergo surgery in order to make a full recovery.

He is currently trying to raise funds from well-wishers so that he can afford to have the procedure at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
