Hearing words or sentences before waking up?

[Anemani]

Has anyone ever heard a word or a sentence before they woke up. Or a word that they never heard of, but when looked it up it was actually real? Are these just something from the subconscious or something else?
A while back (I can look up the dates if anyone wants) I heard a word one day upon waking and then another day I heard a sentence.
It sounded as it had been spoken to me but idk
It was:
This is a high energy church.
and
Shamballa
any imput?

I have heard radio from cities I did not know existed. I have heard times shouted at me that were the correct time when I woke up to see the time. . .

Never anything more meaningful than that. . .

^^ I have also heard classical music playing clearly and it sort of confuses me, because it makes me think that my radio or something is on. I had a lucid dream where on one of the buses, the number was 48 and then when I woke up my clock was exactly 6:48. There had been other numbers that stuck out also.

Hi Anemani,
I was surprised about your question. I hear words and sentences every night, before I fall asleep and before I wake up. I thought that everyone had that experience (don't they?) because it obviously has something to do with the hypnagogic and hypnopompic state. I write down everything, and have already one notebook full with it, I also write down all the phasing-screens and other experiences out of the ordinary. Some of the sentences seem to be answers to questions that I ponder on, sometimes they are words to comfort me when I have a difficult time and other times they are like wise words or an advise. I get them in the 3 languages I speak. It feels already weird if I have a night without it. It helps me with everyday life.

I always see words and sentences like I'm reading a book while out of body. I think that's even stranger than hearing voices... 

But I also hear voices, that's usually just me communicating with whoever while dreaming / out of body.

[Anemani]

^^ Well I do not hear them often,... just like three times.

Using a thread already up on a similar topic ^^

I often, well i was going to say hear but its more of remembering.

I am laying there waiting to sleep then I hear someone or myself mid-conversation. The words stop a few words after I realise they are there. After which I think 'was I just talking to someone?' I am awake for the part after hearings the first words.

I felt in the last few words that I was replying to or hearing someone talking to someone else.

I sometimes I hear them as thoughts I am having at that time.When i remember back I remember waiting to sleep, then I am suddenly mid thought about something bizarre and total elsewhere, I realise the thought is there in the last few words then end up wondering what just happened.

I remember one night in particular as a youth... I had woken up in the middle of the night and heard a "voice" from "nowhere" asking where my brother was.  O_o
I answered, "in his room"... and that was it for that night.

In any case, what the original poster is hearing is simply "hypnagogic sounds".  Sounds created, generally, from within yourself.

[Athymari]

So is this what I hear as well do you think?

You could have been picking up on something in or around one of the "higher" focus levels, sure.
I can't tell you what I think it is though, as I don't have enough information to make anymore than an educated guess (and even saying "educated" is pushing it ROFL). 

[personalreality]

It can be hard to tell whether it's hypnagogic or hypnapompic hallucination or if you're actually receiving a clairaudient message. 

I can say that in my experience I can tell when what I'm hearing is "real" versus a hallucination in the content and emotional/physical feeling i have when receiving the message. 

It seems that when something seems "important" or relevant to what's happening in my life it is a genuine message.  Sounds simple, but there is more of a non-verbal component to these messages.  I'll hear a voice but I'll also receive a telepathic message in the form of a perception or feeling.  This seems to be the big difference.  One is just words while the other has "substance".  Doesn't mean I always listen to the voice, but I can tell when it's my mind versus something "outside" of me.

Also, just thinking about it, I use quotations a lot...it's not to show emphasis or sarcasm, it's basically to show that the word I'm using is not the most appropriate word for what I'm trying to express.  I just didn't have a better word or a word that is understood by others. 

[Athymari]

I understand what you mean Personal.

I use a similar method towards my dreams. I note whether they are just images or whether there is depth of feeling and 'mental' connection between me and it.

With the conversations, i have a feeling of being in a deep conversation when I realise it happening then it goes, almost like I was waking up from a trance.

I can not understand any of the words though, so its doesnt bother me too much atm

Yes, I do hear sentences. And also some music - as an afterefect from the dream. I like to whistle in a dream, then my whistling causes like an entire orchestra around me, and then I hear a song that I've never heard before, it is so beautiful, and sometimes I wake up in ecstatic state and had a feeling of music in my ears    I try to use a computer program to recreate the melody, but I get only a shadow of that feeling in a dream, and I am not a good musician anyway.

English is not my native, so I was really surprised that one morning I heard a clear English sentence (I am not sure it is grammatically correct though, but here you go):

"This lesson shouldn't you forget, the more you wish the less you get".
Anyone has any ideas, what is that about?

Some other night I heard (this time it was in my native language):
"this direction is good" and then "this direction is bad", and during this, I saw a spinning circle, which changed direction. The problem - I do not remember anymore, which direction is good and which is bad   

[CFTraveler]

Yep.

"This lesson shouldn't you forget, the more you wish the less you get".

If I recall correctly, there is a saying along the lines of "Time spent wishing is time wasted." Had you been wishing for something before you heard it?

reminds me of this -v, there have been other cases of this happening as well.

I remember one time I was relaxing randomly and I started to hear two people(m/f) arguing in my head about something and it seemed they found out about it which caused a shock in one of the nerves in my brain dissipating the "noise." Very odd event.. which would be easily explained by me if not for the electric shock, does anyone have any similar experiences?

[Shifter]

I'm so Happy you posted this. This has been happening to me lately. And you Shamballa thing sounds somewhat like mines.

The first one I had, was attached to a dream, but I woke from the dream heaing, "It's Orion, It's Orion" as in Orion's Belt.

The second one was a voice saying, "Shakkuh." I was confused and got an image or sense of someone dancing around a fire. Not sure if their connected though.

The third one was after a dream I was confused about, but when I woke up I heard a voice say, "It's about a man becoming a priest."

What is this voice? Is it our inner voice? Or something else. IT seems to know my dreams better than I do. And I googled SHakkuh, and got nothing.

I guess, I wish something every day  Maybe I should stop wishing and start doing something, if only I knew where to start

I believe most of the words we hear come from the spiritual world and could come either from God and His angels or from the devil and his demons.

I heard one day a word repeated before waking up "coursing, coursing", and then I woke up. After around 5 minutes, I fell asleep again and had a dream about a girl I was fooling around with which was very very pretty and then when I started doing stuff with her, she suddenly transformed into a hideous demon.

When I looked up "coursing" the next day, this definition came up: "hunting with dogs (usually greyhounds) that are trained to chase game (such as hares) by sight instead of by scent ".

God was telling me that I am chasing girls based on sight and their outward appearance instead of concentrating on their inner beings.

The words that we all hear while asleep come from the spiritual world. People should pray more and stop thinking all this is a game. It's very dangerous.

When I spend days on end reading fiction I start to dream in spoken narrative.

Like instead of seeing anything, my dreams will just be like, "As he walked through the desert, the sun shone relentesly down upon him." etc, etc.

Whenever I've woken up in the middle of a sentence with no memory of before I've always just assumed I had been having one of those dreams.
