....omg...

I've had this happen to me before. The last time was 3 years ago, in '04, while I was meditating in my backyard. When I met my fiance in 05, the first time he spoke to me I freaked. The voice I had heard the year before was his.

I think sometimes we just pick up vibes in the air, like radio frequencies. The universe is mysterious and wonderful.

Yeah, brain farts, stress, sleepiness, or alien life forms can do that sometimes...

Shit, I have schizophrenia, and I don't even hear voices, just noises.

Try this next time you're drifting off to sleep. Imagine somebody saying your name, over and over again. Sometimes you can get it to sound exactly like somebody actually said your name. It's kind of freaky, but kind of cool too. It's a hallucination caused by the fact that your brain is between being awake and being asleep. When you're awake, your brain is putting reality into the mind's eye and mental imagery gets put on the back burner, but when you're asleep your brain puts its mental imagery into the mind's eye. Right between those two states you can still be conscious (that is, perceiving reality in your mind's eye) but at the same time also directly perceive something that is completely in your imagination.

They say hearing voices is ok. It's when you start talking back to them that you need to be worried

Oh damn.

Well im in trouble.

[Nochowderforyou]

I wouldn't too concerned over it unless it keeps happening.

Voices happen in ones mind when they have Scitzophrenia (sp?). Maybe with all this stress recently added into your life, your bro and all, maybe you are starting to suffer a nervous or mental breakdown. It happens to a lot of people when something in their life has a deep impact on them. It has to be something pretty severe for a person to lose their mind, but it happens.

So yeah, if it keeps happening, maybe consider seeing a doctor about it.

You never know man. You could be having a mid-life crisis, either or.

Or maybe your house is haunted.

I know when we first moved to Canada, I had a bedroom on the top floor that overlooked the street. For the first year I lived there, every single night I would be woken up by sounds of 2 blocks being banged together. You know in elementary school in music class, where they give you the wooden blocks to hit, it sounded just like that. Like 2 hollow peices of wood being hit against each other.

To this day I still don't know what was doing that, but it went on for almost a year. It was weird, and no, it wasn't 2 logs or whatever, or someone hitting wood...it sounded just like those musical wooden blocks. So weird.

I also suffered nigh terrors and stopped sleeping when I was 13 and 14, so maybe that had something to do with it. Who knows, but I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens often.

Hi slip dear!
I've heard a voice like that once before too, and it might come from your subconcious mind... surfacing, or from some outside entity...from a time/space rift...aliens or spirits...nobody really knows what causes these unexplicable events, but many people experience them.

My father was a Lt. Col in the Marines (suffice it to say he was not the type to get all carried away by silly imaginings) and when we lived in Hawaii he woke up to the sight of a woman in a long white nightgown crossing the room. He thought it was his wife at first, but Lanelle was sleeping beside him. He turned on the lights and woke her up and told her about it. So weird.
I slept downstairs, and one night, months after this, I was drifting off to sleep when I heard what sounded like someone sweeping with a broom outside my closed bedroom door. I called out to see if it was my stepmother, but no one responded. Then there was a little push on my door, just enough to notice, and then silence. This pattern went on for SEVERAL HOUR

This pattern went on for SEVERAL HOURS while I watched. Talk about freaked out! After that night, it never happened again.

I have had many strange and unexplainable events like that in my life, but I don't think I am crazy. Many sensitivities are set off by stress, and I know you have had a lot of that lately, so don't add worry about this to your plate. Unless voices tell you to hurt yourself or others, it's not a problem.

I personally think there are various levels of experience beyond the everyday one we live in-

[Demeter]

see- my message was highjacked midpost :S5:
spooky

[iStaaHi]

Sounds like you had a calling from the GREAT MOTHER. Are you WICCAN???

lol, i think ur watchin too much charmed

[iStaaHi]

the human brain is an extremely complex thing,, im sure it has the ability oto manufacture vioces that have no explaining in your own head,,

on the other hand

it is also possible that the vioce came from some completely different universe, or a ghost, or form the other crazy mythical shit,,, cuz there is really no way of proving either one
