Has this ever happened to anyone?

Hi the more I practice Projection or the more time I spend in the altered state including Meditation. Every once and I while I hear my name in my ear when I am out side doing something has anyone experienced this before?

You're simply becoming more aware of the larger reality. 
It's normal and natural.

I can't say for sure if I have since I don't know your real name.

When we are attempting to phase or project we will here all sort of funny things like our own names, weird noises and names, bells ringing, and other auditory hallucinations.

If you hear these things while wide awake taking care of everyday business then that's the NPR just letting you know that they are aware of you too now.
