Doing some research the closest thing i can find is hypnagogic hallucinations, but it doesn't really match all too well.
Anyway, the other night, I was trying to sleep. I was hearing a womans voice, distorted, ranting on and on, just all gibberish. I couldn't make out but one phrase, 'you will die here', other than that one phrase it was all just random bullshit. But it was extremely loud, shouting directly in my ear.
I have experienced this voice before. Screaming in my ear. Shouting nonsense while I'm trying to fall asleep. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's a bit unsettling. It's not that I'm afraid of it, it's just so damn loud that it feels like it's going to make me deaf.
Has anyone else experienced this before, or know what is going on here?
Thanks
I think it could possibly be a hypnogogic auditory hallucination. It reminds me of some of my own hypnogogic sleep paralaise episodes I used to get. Often those experiences would be very violent and/or loud. And they reoccurred in theme over the course of weeks or months.
Lots of questions for you...
Tell us more about this woman. Can you explain why you were only able to make out one phrase? Please be more descriptive. What does "distorted" and "gibberish" mean in this context?
Did she repeat the phrase? Was the phrase part of a sentence? who was she talking to? - You? Herself? Somebody else?
Are you able to get up and move around when hearing this voice? Like, are you able to move your body?
Are you able to make the voice stop?
When do you register the memory that you are describing. Like when do you first think about it. Are you thinking to yourself and reflecting upon the experience while hearing the shouting? Or are you reflecting upon this memory the next day when you wake up?
Describe how you go from hearing shouting to sleeping. What occurs in that transition? - does the voice fade? stop? continue?
You say you have experienced this voice before. Tell us more...
How often does it happen?
When was the first time or how long has it been happening.
Is the voice always the same?
Is there multiple or different voices?
Can you better describe "shouting nonsense"?
How old are you?
Describe your history of using psychoactive and/or hallucinogenic substances. Which substance, how often, how long, etc
