Thread: Auditory Hypnagogia: write what you hear.

I hear several phrases upon waking up. Hypnopompia? Are you still doing this and are you interested? bobsyr

While jogging I heard some snippets about Obama and the Obama campaign on the day of the election. I only had a few hours sleep earlier and was still tired.

When I think about it, there was once an incident when I heard my yelled by a feminine voice. I checked the house just to be sure lol.

"Nooshna! Ping! Dongly goatsheep!"
It's mostly random meaningless stuff like that. There was also one time when I heard "It loops! It loops! It loops! It loops!" repeated for almost a minute.

Music, each time I fall asleep I can hear music right before loosing consciousness.

Usually when I'm in this state (and it happens quite often) I don't really care about it and I know I'm falling asleep and that's what the voices are. However I do remember clearly on one occasion that I had made myself lucid during this state and I was just lying in bed (not really aware of the bed anymore) and I was hearing all these voices starting off quiet and then getting loud and back quiet again. I knew what was going on so I decided to listen to what they were saying. The only thing I know for certain was that I established it was all non sense, total gibberish and I made a note to myself that it was English but more like alphabet soup.

The only way I can describe it is like a radio. Imagine sleeping next to a radio and it's automatically searching through all the stations, going from silence into sound and back into silence, no static. Except this is a special radio and every station on the radio is a memory of someone talking. So in the end you get things like "....... jjj jj JOHN...... lETs..... coUNTer.... isLANd...." stuff like that. It generally starts with my name being called to get my attention, and no my name isn't John.

I usually hear people saying my name! Creepy stuff!

Previous to non-lucid dreams or even before being asleep I hear short phrases from people I know, like my mother. Sometime pure non sense short sentences. Never music. During SP is when I hear music of any kind like rock, opera etc.

Last night I thought " I hope I get a layer 4 lucid dream tonight" and a voice responded cause I was falling asleep, it said "He wants to lucid dream?" To someone else apparently.

Oooh, that's enough to give me shivers.

Usually I just hear loud buzzing at the most

few nights ago i heard my sauna door creak open (the door makes a distinctive noise) and footsteps coming by my bed... i didn't open my eyes because i was almost lucid by that time already and moved on... but i did sence a presence next to me... *static electricity* or something... you know?

Also few nights ago i heard some freaky and "dark" conversation in my mind... something about dying etc. It's too bad I don't really remember the conversation anymore. Reading all these stuff would make one think it's really scary to hear these things... but your mind is sort of halfway sleeping and you don't really react in the same way as you would think.

two voices were having a conversation

" I have a physical appearance"

" A physical appearance? are you crazy, Harry!?"

Come to think of it, shortly before I'm about to fall into Morpheus' arms I can hear the voices of everyone I know shouting my name urgently, waking me up. I always thought of this as my imagination, I never considered it to be auditory hypnagogia.

Okay I dont know if this is fit for this thread but I think its worth posting.
So if I begin to fall asleep where others are talking my brain will build a scene around them and their conversation and start to add new voices and talkers to it. Eventually if I actually fall asleep that will translate into my dream.

I get it a lot but I never seem to remember. I had one upon waking into SP though and it said something along the lines of "Unfortunately progress is advancing slower than we first anticipated" and when I woke up properly I was like wtf. I genuinely thought aliens were standing around me doing experiments on me or something.

On an average night though I sort of hear like a cloud of voices around me. Sometimes when I'm really out of it I start talking back to them? Lol. I also hear music playing, babies crying, people screaming, gunshots, loud bangs, even my name being called out by a male voice. Sounds like it's coming from outside me but I know it's not, especially since I wear earplugs. Sometimes I also hear my mum and my sister talking to me.

I think though just for the sake of this thread I'm going to write some down immediately after hearing them tonight.

I don't really experience hypnogogia. My thoughts become louder as I drift off, but that's it. The only time I've experienced something significant is when I heard a snarl that scared the living shite out of me.

Ever heard of Smile.jpg (DO NOT GOOGLE IT)? That's what I immediately thought of.

"Fuzzwhadama omoamo fzzzzzzzzzzzzz hoooaaa ba spencer laundry go home sleep die bzzzzz hoooa ooooohm moah"

Weird shit like that

i know this is an old thread but, here are mine that i remember:

girl's voice "COME BACK HERE WITH MY CAR!"

male radio D.'s voice: "our next letter was sent by an 8 year old girl she says "if people would stop going against eachother maybe we could be the most peaceful beings in the universe""

british male like he's explaining to an audience "many say they lose hope, and have no inspiration but, what if inspiration was aspired by shining light?"

a conversation:

male: "hey sorry i'm late
female: "it's fine i found another ride"
female2: "hey there!"
male2: "dude making your girlfriend wait is not cool"

lol

Wow... Great to see all these posts. It has been 6 years since I posted this thread!

The first time I stumbled on these (not counting hearing my name called by voice of usually someone I know, but occasionally, by unknown voices also) was when I was doing a kind of auditory excercise while relaxing on my balcony. I was listening to sounds around me and I must have slipped into dreaming since I suddenly heard two voices (no visuals whatsoever, only sound) arguing about me. There was also a third someone there, but was silent. These two spoke among themselves and I seemed to be the subject. I heard one of them saying: What shall we do with her? And a female voice responded: How about we check her intelligence... I remember thinking to myself: who these people think they are to dare arguing about my intelligence? And even more: how exactly do they think they can do that? What can I say, arguing or checking people's intelligence seems a bit touchy subject... for some of us at least...
Actually, I never thought of this one as HI or HA (A for auditoria), but more of as an "auditory dream", or "verbal dream".


And another one which always brings a smile on my face when I remember it: for some time I had a sound of short drumming clip as an alarm in the morning, and I remember one time, also during awakening I suddenly heard voices of group of Tibetan monks chanting, and I thought to myself: how did these monks get here? what are they doing in my room? While listening to their chanting slowly the sounds of their voices morphed into my drumming alarm, and I realized: no, these are not Tibetan monks, this is my alarm! How could I confuse drumms with Tibetan chanting? By then I was completely awake here.


Last memorable (and more meaningfull) audio HI (or HA) was a year ago and happened during my waking up when during my awakening I became consciouss of several voices one after another verbalizing some kind of blessings to me, and the last one (which is the only one I remembered) was: May the two suns never set (down) upon you! (sorry, if translation is poor).

Lately its been people yelling, asking, or crying out my name: Andrew!! Andrew? or ANDREW!? respectively. To the point where its been creepy because it sounds so real and because its friends or family member voices
