On two separate occasions, just as I was begging to fall asleep I was suddenly awoken by what I perceived as someone whistling very loudly right in my ear..kinda like the whistle used to hail a taxi. I came out of my semi-sleep state with an odd feeling. Anyone else experience this?

Hi Sky,

This happens to me just about every day. It is sometimes a male voice and sometimes female. I now consciously communicate with these two, usually first thing in the morning and then just before bed. Often waves of energy wash over me when I am communicating. I am really just now getting practiced at opening myself up to hear and feel them. I am not sure exactly how to explain it. But I am constantly "directed" to an outcome that proves exact through their guidance.

I wish you well. I believe they are guides that are here to help us grow to our full potential.

That has never happened to me, but it sounds nice and I want one.

OK I have astrange one for you. 4 or 5 months ago I was woken by a gentle voice telling me it was time to get up. I opened my eyes and 2 or three seconds later my alarm went off. That was strange enough, but then I realized that the voice had not been English, and yet I had understood it.

Thats a neat one. Kind of ties in with other paranormal phenomena concerning knowing foreign languages. I sometimes dream in foreign languages.

Reminds me that my voice was using a name I havent been called in decades.

This happen to me a few times. I think it's 'cause when you wake up, your half here and half in another dim. But the thing about it, is that whoever is speaking to you, never tells you anything intelligent or useful...smh. Your not alone.

This happened to me one night about 20 years ago, only I was wide awake and reading a book at about 1 in the morning. Not unusual for me to do that. The voice was a loud whisper saying my name - not urgently or like it was calling me, just saying it. It happened 3 times in about a 5 minute period of time. It was, honestly, one of the scariest things I have ever experienced!

I have mentioned something very similar to this in a previous thread some months ago.

My experience happens almost every night. It is usually about 2 minutes after i get into bed and am lying there looking around and i very very clearly hear a female voice calling "David". This can be so clear sometimes that i jump. My partner will be fast asleep next to me and not hear a thing yet i hear this very audible and clear. I have tried answering back and asking what they want but with no reply.

I have had something similar, slightly less pleasant like some of the other posts on here. Some years ago, I was in bed, asleep. I became concious of noises, like voices, sounding like they were coming from a pinpoint in my head, to the right of my brain, like something was being stuck in me - these voices were abit scary, they sounded like lots of voices at once in a language I didn't understand, which morphed into my name being whispered as I woke up. no-one was in the room. I told my housemate - he laughed (being a sceptic and complete unbeliever in anything outside what we know). several days later he came downstairs, a bit ghostly and deadly serious saying he had had the same experience, but instead of hearing voices saying his own name, they said MY name (stef) to him. But the voices were like a shout - like a cry for help. Sorry if you think i'm insane. it freaked me out., but lots of things in that particular house did!

I don't know what freaked me out the most - that I heard these things and felt pain in my head, or that my compete sceptic of a housemate seemed to experience the same thing.

Hello Skyfloating, I was wondering if you mediated? Because I have noticed that when I meditate I hear my higher self more. Just a thought.

Anyone experience something similar?

Yes.

A long time ago, at the end of the summer that I started what I'd call »advanced meditation« - spontaneously, without knowing that's what it was – I was in bed one night drifting off to sleep when I heard a distinctly audible voice calling out my name from one of the bedroom doors.
As I said, I was drifting off, but I was not yet asleep; more to the point, I immediately turned around and looked towards the door where I heard it coming from. (I am insisting on this detail because immediate identification of an exact location is uncharacteristic of dreams – but I wasn't dreaming anyway.)

Needless to say, there was nobody on the doorstep (or in the apartment, for that matter).

It was a soft, young, very gentle and kind female voice. And there was no special »urgency« in it. If anything, there was an element of playfulness to it; or just calling for attention.

I have the suspicion – just a suspicion, I am not sure at all – that it was my own voice. Not that I called myself, but that the entity, whatever it was, was a projection of myself.
The reason why I have that suspicion is something that happened a few evenings later. I don't want to go into details because it's not really relevant here - plus I don't have much time here for long dissertations. Suffice it to say that I suddenly opened my eyes, and there was... something hovering above me. I blinked, and it was gone.

So, on the advice of someone whom I thought knowledgeable, I stopped »feeding« it, whatever it was. In practice, that meant stopping my practices. (Today, I am not so sure I did the right thing.) Sure enough, »it«, if there was an »it«, soon died of malnutrition.

Then, a few years ago, one late night when I was returning from an award ceremony (it may be relevant that I was the recipient), again I heard a gentle, female voice calling my name from what seemed the trees and greenery around the houses where I was walking. It was so distinct and unambiguous – and everything was so quiet – that I actually stopped, trying to see in the dark, and called out: »Where are you?« (trying to sound as if I had recognised the voice – because »she« sure sounded as though she knew me). No answer. I stood there for almost a minute, but the voice didn't call again. And nothing seemed to move.

Now, I suppose it is possible that somebody had seen me walk by (even though it was very dark, and lush trees were all around) and called out just for the heck of it.

Still, I thought I should mention it – especially because the voice was very similar to the first one, many years earlier.

On the other hand, unexpected voices in the night are probably bound to sound similar...

I'll sometimes hear a voice that's a family member talking to me as when I was a child, but the person talking is still living. It is odd, but I just think I'm having a flashback, mixed with whatever I was dreaming. I don't hear voices while awake, I just get this on fallling asleep or waking. It disturbs me if it happens while falling asleep, because it's dark. My mind is always racing with thoughts. I daydream alot.

For me the feeling of having my sleep "controlled", if you want to call it that, happens more in me suddenly feeling the urge to go to sleep when I wasn't even tired. That happened the other day actually, I had a very long nap and rarely do that mid-day.

Hi, just wanted to tell you about my experience.......

I was staying at my husbands, parents house with my hubby and kids. Now his parents had this house but they also bought the one next door because they fostered children at the time and needed the extra room.
The funny thing is the first house was always warm and cosy but the other house was freezing cold and you could feel cold draughts (even in the middle of the rooms) basically the house gave me the creeps to begin with when they first bought it and i didnt feel comfortable being in it.

So here goes...... My husband and me are having an normal evening just watching telly,chatting, the kid's are in bed and we are relaxing ( as much as you can relax in a house that spooks you out!! ) anyway, it's late about 3am, so we decide to go to bed. We are in bed and because it takes me a while to get to sleep ( anything from half an hour to 3 hours ) im lying listening to my hubby as he drifts off after about 5 minutes.

I must admit im the sort of person who does not like to think about ghost's and the spiritworld but on the same hand, i believe they exist, i suppose it scare's me......
So im lying in bed trying to go to sleep but im overcome with fear, probably because im overtired and creeped out. I have the bed-covers up over my face and im really warm, just wanting to go to sleep. Then suddenly, out of nowhere this voice says my name, twice!! I really freaked but just lay there for a moment, telling myself this isnt happening but it really did!!

It, ( the voice ) was a male voice and the tone was like a hushed whisper but at the same time sounded loud and like it could have come from any direction!?

There was no aggression in the voice, yet i was even more freaked out than ever before in this house. I awoke my husband to tell him and in his sleepy state he thought that i was saying there was someone in the house and he jumped up and went to run around the house as if to find an intruder. At this point i was crying and shouting him to come to me, so i could explain to him why i was scared.

Anyway i feel you get the gist...i couldnt sleep for the rest of the night and my hubby was quite p****d off as id interrupted his! lol It took him a while to calm me down, quite embarrasing actually because im not too easily scared as a person in general.

I was definately Awake when this happened, its not very often me and hubby talk about it ( ive gone all cold now bbbrrrrrrr! ) but its just mind-boggling and i have no explanation??? Oh and by the way, his parent's sold the house, god, i was glad to see last of whatever it was in that house!!!
