      Selective Hearing

      I was just taking a nap. I had some music playing in the other room(Chromeo and MIA). I was just falling into sleep, when the phone rang. It woke me up out of my half paralyzed state, and I was seeing some weird pulsing lights in the air for a few seconds. I'm sure it interrupted me right as I was getting into a dream.

      The weird thing is, the phone woke me up, but when I woke up it took around 3 seconds for the music to start up. The playlist was right in the middle of a song, but I could not hear it for a few seconds.

      Its like My brain was tuned to hear the phone but not the music.

      That's just a natural human thing. Except it happened on a grand scale for you. If we are in a room, we could hear the computer buzzing, the person in the other room, the high pitched noises of the moniter, the sound of typing, breathing, etc. Our ears/brain can tune in on certain sounds. Imagine being at a baseball game and your friend is talking to you. He's 5 seats away. Despite all the noises, you can still hear him, even though he's no louder then everone else. Make sense?

      Well, I suppose our ears block out repetitive sounds as we fall asleep, because they simply don't matter. The phone ringing interupted the repetition, causing you to hear it.

      I can be lying awake in my bed for a few minutes before I even realize my alarm is going off. It's quite strange when I finally notice it.
