Another time, I heard a loud clap right at my ears and it freaked me out. Another time, I heard someone's voice in my room. Why do these things keep happening?
You see it is alot more common for all people to hallucinate every now and then, even though they are otherwise not mentally troubled. Scientists found out by research amongst entire nations' populations that so many sane people hear voices, see visual images of animals, people and objects and have tactile hallucinations so often that hallucinating should be considered as a pretty common, natural part of human experience.

If i were you I would feel somewhat blessed with the ability to easily fall into the subconscious world of Dreams, which is a very perculiar, Intelligent and powerfull part of the human Psyche to have access to. With nothing more than laying down, closing your eyes and relaxing to some music to it.
I would be inspired to try to Enter a Dream from that state, incubate certain dreams from that state, perhaps with a large poster of a dreamscene I want to enter.. Who knows what's possible from that half-dreaming state?
