There have been numerous times where I have just realized that I have been rambling/conversing back in forth with someone (me?) about some topic I can't quite recall.
This happens as I try to remain aware as I'm falling asleep and/or when I start my day off as soon I awaken (meaning - I'm in a zombie like state while brushing my teeth/picking out clothes). Sometimes I can remember what the conversations are about, but when I do recall them, they seem completely senseless. For instance, the other night I was in Focus 10 (besides the fact that I slipped in and out of consciousness, heh heh) and I was talking with what felt like someone else - about people who wear backpacks everywhere they go.
I know that when these "conversations" occur" I am not fully aware, but only after it occurs - after I become awake, do I realize what just took place.
Hopefully, I haven't lost anyone. I'm not desperately seeking for an answer, it's just something I've always wondered about. By the way, this isn't like overhearing conversations while your falling asleep,etc. but rather actually engaging in a conversation.
Anyway, if anyone has experienced this or have any idea of what this may be - do share your thoughts.
Thanks,

I did this this evening :) I'd been reading, felt tired so closed my eyes for a bit, and I was conversing with myself (but not taking much notice) about the book and some other things - but the conversation was quite nonsensical. I distinctly answered myself, and then replied to that etc (rather than a 3rd party answering - although this has happened sometimes).
This can happen frequently to me when i'm in the hynogogic stage before sleep.
I either put it down to the hypnogogic state (that is being semi-aware and semi-caught in a hypnogogic senario), or just my tired mind rambling.
ha ha, that reminds me of when my grandma came to visit, and she just woke up and was talking to my mom, then i come in the room and she says, " (my name), where's (mom's name)?" and she was sitting right in front of her. it was hilarious.
i know this verry well. it's a pitty.
in a therapy group we went to trance and all the people told funny stories about what they experienced and my story allways went something like this "uhm, there was a fire, something going on, strangers, cut , amnesia, then i was a kid ... i was trying to do express something desperately, dont know what .... , cut, amnesia, wtf"
i think they called it 'dissociative trance' (the doctors)
also, when i am tired at afternoon after eating and fall into a short slumber i often experience such dissociated dreams while i am acutally awake physically. i know other people have daydreams like that, but they do remember.
'where is my brain?'
unfortunately i really have no clue about how to solve this dissociative habbit.
I constantly find myself in conversation with unknown people as I'm meditating or falling asleep. Sometimes I can remember what I was chatting about, but most of the time not. It's also hard to remember who I was talking too. A few times I've phased into a scene of what was being talked about.
i talk to myself all the time
It's been awhile since I've been on the forum. Everyone - Thanks for the replies. Its nice to know I'm not the only one who experiences this.
Ever since I started having OBE's at will about a year ago, I've been in contact with my spiritual guide. I have heard him narrating my dreams before. I didn't see him, but he was explaining to me the symbolisms in the dreams while I was still dreaming. Another time, I was in an OBE with him while sleeping, and we were at a party dancing, and while I was waking up, I heard him singing to me. I have also heard him conversing with others while awaking. Once I went to bed with a stuffy nose, so it was difficult to sleep. I drifted off to sleep, and I was awakened, because I started to feel like I couldn't breathe. I felt a magnetic like sensation pulling on my body. I've felt this before while attempting to go out of body or when he wants to take me out of body. While I felt the magnetic pull, I heard someone tell him to be careful as he was pulling me out of body, and my soul must have said something in response, because I then heard that same person tell me that my spiritual guide wanted to be with me and that's why he was attempting to pull me out of body. My spiritual guide says he's also my soulmate, whom I never met during this lifetime.
I also do this. Lately, as I've been having greater success projecting, I've felt that these people that I'm speaking with might be other astral energies... however, it might just be me. hah.
So I'm at a confusing point.. I'm either speaking with other entities (which would explain how I am able to answer questions and makes statements very quickly) or I'm simply speaking to myself... which is far less entertaining.
Considering I've been talking to myself for as much of my life as I can remember... I'm thinking its the later. Well, I'll keep looking for some astral proof. Otherwise, I'll continue to enjoy my conversations. :)

Ditto. Sometimes I know I'm talking to myself, sometimes I think I'm talking to others. (I see others). But I think they are just projections of myself, who likes to talk...
