Hearing a voice or a few voices while I'm falling asleep has happened to me frequently over the years. In the past, I didn't think much of them and wrote it off as my imagination. But lately, I've been paying more attention to this because it seems that the voices are different at the different places I've lived.
One place I lived, the voice was that of a young adult male. He would say my name and hearing it would jerk me awake. His voice usually sounded kind and I sensed that he thought it was mischievous to wake me up. It happened on occasion and was the same voice.
One time I came home after being out all night with friends and tried to go to sleep and I heard the voice say in a quick, angry tone, "I can't believe you!"
At another place I lived, there were a number of voices and they seemed more frantic and talking all at once. I remember a more dominant angry man's voice there. At the place I'm living at now, the voices are more like whispers in kind tones.
But the worst just happened to me this weekend. I was staying at a friend's house and was trying to fall asleep on a mattress on his living room floor. I was almost asleep when I felt as if my thoughts changed. It seemed as if my mind was opened up to negative, evil thoughts that aren't ever in my mind. I remember thinking, "Where did these thoughts come from and why am I feeling like this?" I tried to get up and couldn't, but could kind of open my eyes and I saw my friend sleeping on his couch. I could hear myself let out a moan hoping to wake him up. I then tried to speak and couldn't. I had to focus on making myself breathe, and still couldn't wake up.
Then, I heard a male voice try to speak to me. It was incoherent and seemed to be trying to speak words but couldn't. It repeated a noise 3 or 4 times. It sounded like it came from above and behind my head. It frightened me and I still tried to make myself wake up and get out of the paralyzed state. I was terrified!
Finally, I just snapped out of it! I sat up and my heart was racing. I woke my friend up and he said he could smell a wood-burning stove, which I couldn't. He also said his grandpa had died in the room, which I didn't know. I've talked to a few friends about this and they tell me I was just dreaming. But, I know my mind was awake and alert, but I couldn't move my body and I heard that man's voice. What happened to me?
Whenever I hear the voices, it usually jerks me awake. It would be nice to figure out how to speak to the peaceful voices.
