Thread: Auditory Hypnagogia: write what you hear.

I heard a loop of Spongebob Squarepants laughing...

A black man (I sort of half saw him, during a hypnagogic state) yelled "GAMES AND STUFF!" In a wavy stereo voice, from left to right. Sounded hilarious

EDIT: You know it's odd when I don't speak English as my native language, but about 2/3 of the hypnagogic speech is in English and 1/3 is Finnish.

My mom and I both hear these... I actually recorded a bunch of them between the ages of 16 and 19. The voices sang to me a lot. You can listen here. The more recent ones toe the line between profound and ridiculous. I have heard such gems as:

I was young and beautiful / my audiovisual cortex was fine (sung in the style of They Might Be Giants)
Brad was the first to leave the Center. Now he misses it beautifully.
Will she win?! If she can stab her opponent in the kneecap!
Bathe your toes in Beethoven.
When Dillywater of Green Tweezers announced his betrothal, everything turned up smiles.
My name is Cuthbert! I'm a maaaaaaagical faaaaairy.
crimecicles
Crawl inside the summer cables. Today they're smaller.
The roaring sound of architecture.
A heart rate is unremittant.
The reason we have wings are blooming.
To have breathed our own liters, breathed of our own teeth.
A wee vat of stolen infinity.
Brennan the self-mutilating rabbit
Day 1 and Krimbalcakes! Silly bastards!


Nowadays I mostly forget the auditory hallucinations I have... Really I should try harder, because they're a great source of amusement.

Wow, you actually got people to help you record all that?

Yay my favorite topic is getting new posts.

Here's one from my earlier meditation attempts (those seem to be the best times for getting memorable hypnagogic audio.

"Don't touch the wall tits!" *child voice responding* "but I wannaaaa..."

Last night was the first night I heard anything; there was no voice, but someone sighed VERY loudly right beside my ear. Since it was my first time experiencing this, I immediately opened up my eyes, my vision in the dark was very weird (a low LED light on my tv, which is normally red, was bright white) and I saw the purple face of a man in front of me.

Its very interesting, but some of them are definitely thought out. In other words some of them don't seem so random.

Hehe now everyone thinks you are referring towards him/her

PS. Nice signature

Nah man, I recorded them myself using Audacity and a USB mic.

When I was little my auditory hallucinations consisted of really loud things, such as car horns or amplified slamming on piano keys. Now though I only hear my own voice yelling, although not often at all.

I've only recently started to hear things before I sleep but the thing that I usually notice while I'm laying there is the sound of glass bottles chinking together. If you can imagine a box full of glass milk bottles and somebody lightly throwing another on top of the ones already in the box, that's what kind of sound I hear. It's usually constant as well without differences in the timing of the sounds.

You know at first I thought I never experienced this phenomenon, but now I clearly remember hearing things, mostly when I wake up and try to sleep again. Really structured phrases I couldn't possibly think of.

Here are auditories I've heard before and wrote down:

"why aren't we hitting Edward Mann up?"
"religion was foiled in supplication for fake vigilance."
"went to Aztec, California. I was planning on buying a kilophone."
"atomic resonance of silver is the distance squared."
"Brokinski epitome of the human condition."
"you know its identity"
"that knight is stuck in your house, your garden overdue for repair."
"Charon is the......... the ten lost tribes of Israel returning"

a voice calling my name real loud, waking me up
a banging type noise that sounded like it was coming from my basement

Unusual words I've remembered from a dream or auditory:
Tellurian
Gamorii

"Shut up Mr. Boots cause I'm naughty today!" (in Vincent Valentine's deep voice)

I saw of picture of The Star tarot card and heard "Follow the God of Dreams"

lol..nice......WHAT DOES IT MEAN??


I heard something amazing the other night as I was falling asleep. It was so sweet it woke me up and then I tried to hear it again. It was a song. The voice reminded me of Enya. Imagine ten Enyas singing all at once, each a different word. The song didn't consist of sentences, only words, and the language wasn't english. The music was synth pop. Its kinda hard to describe, but it was cool.

I'm only able to remember them when I attempt WILD, but I doubt there's every been any form of dialogue in mine.
A really loud helicopter, tortured screams, and random auditory vibrations.

I've heard people yelling my name and ordering me to answer. I have also heard a man talk to me about OBEs and he guided me into one.

I heard a few nights ago

"But no one's trying to sell you coconuts."

Hmm... gotta try and remember... here are the most interesting ones i can think of right now that i experienced

Once during an afternoon nap i woke up in SP and heard a woman screaming and someone instantly yelling "CALL 911 RIGHT NOW!"

At another time i didn't see anything, but i felt some pain on top of my head and heard as some kind of creature was slurping something from inside of my head


Here is a really creepy one, this was in one of my first SPs:
I've seen a colorful void portal floating in my room and i heard a constant loud noise EXACTLY like the sounds in this song after 1:38:
Now that was just scary like hell

"In the ground-breaking recording of Modest Mouse's 'Corpse Colours' you got to work with Lauren Faust." That struck me as weird.

I have only had this a handful of times, but every time it was someone I know (family member or close friend) calling out my name, like I am lost or they want to get my attention.

"Barak Obama vs Frosty the Snowman".

Hi all..

What I hear tends to be abstract sounds... The most common two are the doorbell, or white noise roar (like having a jet engine in the house!!!)

Then there is 'someone dropping & smashing a drinking glass'

Another one is a passenger airliner flying over the house (its NOT real... The local airport MME only has 3 amsterdam & 2 aberdeen per day & does not have a night licience!!)
