Here is the article, kind of old, dated July 6th
quote:
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A teenage sleepwalker was rescued after being found fast asleep 130 feet (40 meters) up on the arm of a crane, police said on Wednesday.
Emergency services were called to a building site in London after a passer-by spotted the 15-year-old girl curled up on top of a concrete counterweight high above the ground.
The teenager, who has not been named, had climbed up the crane and walked across a narrow metal beam while fast asleep during the incident, which happened on June 25.
It is believed the teenager had walked out unnoticed from her home near the site in Dulwich, southeast London.
She was brought down in a hydraulic lift after a two-hour rescue operation.
"Police and London Fire Brigade attended and the woman was brought down from the crane at around 4 a.m. and taken to hospital for precautionary checks," a police spokeswoman said.
The girl was unharmed and later went home.
so the question is this... is this similar to something that happened in Nightmare on Elm Street? Never seen the movie, but am curious because someone made a comment about it.

The cosmos is interesting rather than perfect, and everything is
not part of some greater plan, nor is all necessarily under control.

Strange stuff.
I used to have a sleepwalking problem when I was a bairn. It usually involved waking up and peeing in obscure places-on radiators, brother's sock drawer etc.
