Almost every night as I'm falling asleep since I can remember(And when I meditate) I hear voices! I know that sounds crazy but it really got to me yesterday when I was trying to AP (I haven't Astral projected yet) I was laying on the couch and I told myself that I wanted to get out. And then I hear a mans voice, as if taunting me he said "So? You want to get out?" Sometimes these voices startle me but I'm so used to them now I hardly ever can understand what they are saying- but once in a while I will hear a really loud, clear voice like I did yesterday. What should I think of this? Has anyone else here have a similar experiences?
I reckon it's pretty normal, and called hypnagogic hallucinations. I haven't AP'd yet aswell (getting close to it) but I heard plenty of voices after a false awakening I had yesterday while taking a nap.
Also, first post :).
It's pretty common to hear voices and/or noises while in the hypnogogic state. I'm not really sure where they come from. It could be your mind rehashing noises it's retained from the past or perhaps Astral noise. Who knows?
From what I understand, the sights and sounds you experience in the Hypnagogic phase are entirely created by your mind.
I think the general train of thought is that since your conscious mind REALLY HATES to be ignored, this is the minds last ditch effort to keep you interested before your subconscious mind takes over for the night.
