I will do a couple of questions for anyone who want to answer me.

I'm confused.

Sleep means Dormir.

And Asleep means Dormir too.
Already I have read the word Sleepy means Adormilado or adormecido.

Thank you for the advance.

That's right. Like Martin Luther King speech, "I have a dream..." would be translated as "Tengo un sueño [una visión/ilusión/esperanza/deseo]...

I take you meant to say,
"Este foro ya da sueño." (As in "This forum is getting boring" and/or 'this forum is getting sleepy'?)

"To sleep" means "dormir".

And "asleep" means "dormir" too. No exactly,
to be asleep = estar dormido

Already I have read the word "sleepy" means "adormilado" or "adormecido".
I've noted a couple of points in your post. Hope these clear your confusion. Otherwise, let me know... before I fall asleep!

Es posible, como decía Calderón en boca de Segismundo,
Yo sueño que estoy aquí de estas prisiones cargado, y soñé que en otro estado más lisonjero me vi... ¿qué es la vida? Un frenesí, ¿qué es la vida? Una ilusión... que toda la vida es sueño, y los sueños, sueños son.

(Maybe I am off on the punctuation, but I remember pretty well these verses.) (Someone can google them to get the right punctuation...)

You are welcome. Normally if I feel sleepy (having had my normal sleeping time) I will look for any word or symbol I may have misunderstood. Misunderstood words CAUSE sleepiness, so you know. When you clear and understand a word, you level of brightness increases... (Good to have a dictionary to hand, to clear these... but of course, you can always ask...)

Yes I'm agree with that sometimes to learn a new language and more to be newbie in a place where you don't know much about the grammatical words, tend to be bored, I can borrowing my help in many things, but the likely the support isn't enough.
