Hearing Voices

Hi there. I am new to any kind of site like this but have been questioning things that have happened to me all during my life I thought it would help to share.

Since I can remember I have been an extremely fearful person especially as a child. I was aware as a child that it wasn't normal to be so fearful but could really do nothing about it. I would have nightmares on a daily bases and was chronically afraid of going to sleep. I have also always been very aware of other peoples emotions and have always been greatly effected by them. I, now as an adult, hate going to places like the grocery store because they often seem stressful and overwhelming.

When I was 17 I moved into my fathers house and frequently started having the same "dream" night after night. Every time I would be falling asleep, in that moment when one is aware they soon will fall asleep, I would suddenly feel panicked and terrified of actually falling asleep. I would feel a strange surge of what I can only explain as electrical energy or a vibrating sensation come over me followed by a soft static sound. I would suddenly feel very heavy and no matter what I did couldn't move to wake myself up. This happened for years and would sometimes stop me from going to sleep at all.

Once I got married and moved out of my dads house, although similar dreams would still occur, they became less frequent and started to change. I would still feel this strong sense of electricity coming over me while in this state of being half asleep and half awake, and still not be able to awake out of it, but the noises I heard were not the same. Now it was just quiet.

Within the last year however, my half awake half asleep dreams have changed again. The feeling of electrical energy and not being able to wake up have not changed but I now have started to hear people talking. It usually just sounds like I am in the midst of a large crowd, not really hearing anymore than a few clear random wards, but just being aware of the fact that people are speaking. The last time this happened, I did actually hear a women talking to me as clear as day. It happened while falling asleep one afternoon on our couch. While I was falling asleep, I felt the electricity surge come over me, I suddenly was unable to wake up and heard the crowd of voices in the background. While trying to wake myself out of it I suddenly heard a lady telling a story about either her or her husband. She seemed to be telling it like whoever she was talking to in her story was on the phone. "She started to say how it was just a minor heart problem, and everyone new it was a minor heart problem." At this point I was able to open my eyes just a crack and saw a shadow go over a wall across the room. I then again began to panic and try to wake myself up until I eventually did. Once awake, the room was quiet and there was nobody outside talking either. This happened about two weeks ago and I haven't yet had another "half awake, half asleep dream" but have had something else start more frequently happening. A few times during random parts of the day, I will have a memorable thought/daydream. What is weird about them is they aren't so far over life altering things. For example, one I had the other morning was "today at work I will have to go to Abbeys program" (I am a nanny) I had no knowledge of any upcoming school programs so I sort of just shrugged it off as a strange thought. Later that morning on the list left by the mother of things to do it said "Abbey would really like if you would come to her school program today." Since then a few more things have happened like this but I don't really know why.

Anyway, sorry for making this so long and would love to hear similar experiences or know more why this is happening.

Thanks, Sara

I have had several experiences with hearing voices, either waking me up from sleep or right when going to sleep or waking up.

The first time it happened was back in 94, there was a big earthquake in Los Angeles. My boyfriend at the time was living there, I was in Northern California. I was sound asleep and was woken up by a loud voice at like 5 am. That said plain as day "there's going to be an earthquake". I lied there totally stunned trying to make sense of it, thinking "WTF was that?" Then like 2 minutes later my phone rang. It was my boyfriend calling me telling me they just had a huge earthquake. I was totally shocked and dumbfounded. I didn't even tell him because I thought he wouldn't believe me nor did I ever tell anyone else for years.

Anyway, I didn't experience anything else like that for years except I did have dreams about earthquakes three different times just to wake up and turn on the news to see there was a big earthquake somewhere. One was the earthquake and Tsunami in Indonesia, another time it was a big earthquake in I think Pakistan.

Then just this past year I have started experiencing the voices again out of the blue. Just this morning I was woken up by what I think was the voice of a friend of mine telling me clear as day "You will be receiving a very important letter very soon". I wrote it down in my journal and will see if anything comes of that. A couple of other times I have been falling asleep and a voice has popped into my head telling me answers to things I was questioning in my mind. I have also just these past few months experienced flashes of visions of things related to things I was thinking about. Very very strange, I wish I knew where these things were coming from!

last night I heard a man say "i read your poems" very clearly in my ear around 3:30 am. I was in bed, asleep, and actually, the voice woke me up and I made a noise like "no" or something out loud. I couldn't get back to sleep for about an hour after that. When I did go back to sleep, I had a feeling of a bird flying on me, and I became conscious again. I told the voice/thing to please leave me alone because I needed some sleep, and nothing happened after that. A few months prior I heard the same voice from further away (in the living room) in the early morning around 7:00 am. That time before I couldn't understand what it was saying, but I swore there was a man in my house, as it sounded like a physical body in there too. It's kind of freaking me out. After the first time, I saged the house. I've had a lot of ghost experiences that were more action-based (objects moving & being touched or my hair being pulled) but never voices -- and they never sounded so snarky. I'm nervous about this and am not sure what to do. Any advice?

Dreads,

Can you recommend an article or post re spirit guides? I want to learn more about this. Thanks in advance.

Some times Spirits will copy somebodies voice to try to get your attention. Like sometimes my guides use this little girl voice or other times they'll sound like a raspy old man. If you had any dreams last night, that might be related to hearing your guides this morning.

This morning I woke up to a voice calling my name. The voice sounded like my mother (she is living) and it was very clear and the tone was kind of demanding. I immediately woke up and looked around, but saw no one in my room. I was very alert and very aware of my surroundings. Reading Cambria's list below, I think it might have been my spirit guide.

Last night at 3:45 AM, you know nearly for I was sitting in the living room, everyone was sleeping, after the first prayer I heard a woman shouting, but it was like whispering, Then I started hearing some people whispering, And like 2 years ago I was going to drink water on 3 or something like that I heard a voice saying come to me -whispering-, and then I started looking around, I heard it again, I mean I'm only 13 -turning 14- and I hear that... Its kind of scary... 😐
Note:The voice doesn't speak to me, only some sounds!

In my previous job I could hear people talking as if I understood the language, their mother tongue and coversation was not English and people wondered how I could understand them so clearly. One man even told me I could read people's mind. Most of the coversations took place very big distances away so there was no way I was in hearing distances.

Also I know that I could follow the footsteps of one man to his friends house and even know the conversation.
It was very spooky and I left my job and even the country... But you know even tho I hear less now... I can still zone in and know what is happening... It is so strange... I live in a country where psychics are not accepted becasue it is a sign of the devil. So I can never say that I heard something.

I would just become more and more scared of my ability that in the end it was such a relief for me to leave my job and the country.

hey I don't have time right now to read everyone's story, but don't get distracted by the voices. Just treat them as you would real live people in this world, they just don't have bodies and don't know they are dead. If someone comes up and wants to trade places, I'd suggest you say no unless you don't mind losing your body and wandering around in another realm powerless and unseen. If they annoy you tell them to bug off. If you like talking to them then strike up a friendship. Why does everyone seem so freaked out about this stuff? Its just another part of the natural world and like the world "everyone else" can see there are good and bad people who want to use you in it. Take responsibility for yourself and your life. Its your choice to react in fear, anger or love.

I am new to this site and came to it also because I have heard voices during the night. I like to share my experiences.
Last Friday I was asleep and suddenly was woken up by someone saying a word on the other side of the room. I turned on the light but saw nothing so went off to sleep again. Same night was woken up again by someone saying something ~ sounded like the Indian word Shree. Went off to sleep again, but for a third time I was woken up by a mumbled sentence. This has happened to me once before two years ago when I was woken up three times in three successive nights at around 3.30am, on the fourth night someone broke a window and tried to break into my house at exactly 3.30am. These words are usually Indian words though I'm not Indian myself. I am wondering what is the meaning of all this?

So I woke up ealyier today I heard someone say my name in my sleep someone who wasent even here so I wondered what it means. I think it just means he was in my mind at the time and I was thinking about him. I hear people call my name when they haven't it just means they are on your mind about things. It is normal. Nothing to worry about unless the voice is mean sounding then it means you need to not have them people in your life because its disturbing your mind obviously. When you hear voices and it sounds like as if your watching a movie and 3 people are having conversations and your hearing them talking and in that case you should check yourself in to a mental hospital but hearing one voice is completely normal especially when you are alone or not. So no worries 😆

A while ago in the house I grew up in, I used to hear a voice calling my name downstairs... We had turned the basement into a family room... I would be home alone when ever I heard it calling... It was always my mothers voice... Stange thing my mother is alive, so I wonder if what was calling my name was a demon or something. The first few times I heard it, I would run downstairs to see if my mother was really home! But there was nothing! It creeped me out, so I would just turn the volume up on the TV or just go outside... Then I started hearing my sister talking... Like she was on the phone in one of the bedrooms down stairs, but my sister had moved away... And I couldn't make out what she was saying... It stopped sence I move out of that house... But I always wondered what it could have been... 😕

i hear the voices all the time too. They give me really big headaches and migranes. I can't always understand them. Usually they just talk or whisper. And it feels like I'm in the middle of this huge croud all talking at once. Lately though they started screaming. It hurt so bad that I got sick. For the rest of the night I was curled up in a ball on my bed holding my head. I've never had them this bad before. I still haven't found a way to get them to calm down or stop. If they didn't hurt me and make my sick I don't think I would mind as much.

I had something much like this happen to me last night/morning. I woke early to my printer going on and off when the machine was shut down before I went to bed. I went back to sleep but as I was waking later in the morning I heard two men talking at the same time franticly tell me to tell someone hello. A third tried to break through but couldn't speak over the other two. It totally freaked me out when I woke up. Is my home haunted?😐

For the last few months every night before I go to sleep I hear voices... Sometimes I can hear what they are saying but most of the time its inaudible. The other day I was lying down and I could hear a conversation. I could hear the same phrases in the conversation being repeated. I heard my name over and over and negative things were being said about me. It sounded like 3 people were talking outside of my window. I even went downstairs and looked outside and no one was there. It happens every night but for the last week or so the voices have been getting clearer and clearer. Most of the time it sounds like my roommate talking crap about me... Which is weird.

Hi my name is Lakita and I have had a similar experience. I was at my grandmother's house and I was in her guest bathroom washing my face with my eyes closed. I thought I heard my grandmother call my name. I answered out loud, but got no response. I finished washing my face and went to the kitchen where she was so that I could see what she wanted. To my surprise she said that she did not call my name at all. I was so frightened. Since then, I started hearing my name being called more often, but I would never answer, because it absolutely scared me EVERY single time. I also figured that if I ignore it that the voice would go away. I was right. It took about a month for it to stop. Now I am a little sad that I ignored the voice because I heard that it could be my spirit guide trying to contact me. I wan't to call back out to my spirit guide, but I'm not experienced in that type of thing so I do not want another spirit that may not have my best interest at heart to interfere and deceive me and try to communicate with me. If anybody reading this has any suggestions, please let me know, your help is greatly appreciated.
Lakita 😕

Hello, I too have been hearing voices. I've had my share of strange phenomenon, but now, the voices are everywhere! I don't do drugs and I'm not crazy. I stopped taking some supplements, thinking they were causing the "hallucinations", but they haven't stopped. The voices started speaking to me in the wind, as I was riding my motorcycle, and thus my user name. The voice would emerge from the breeze on my ears. It was yelling at me, "You have to repent!" over and over. He was angry. It told me that I was going to burn in hell. He told me that he wasn't going to argue with me-that I would have to pay the consequences. That I would have to spend time in purgatory. He said that he'd follow me wherever I went if I moved, and that I couldn't escape. The voice didn't stop there. It started manifesting itself in anything that makes a humming noise, such as a bathroom fan, an out-of-tune radio station, an air compressor, the traffic noise coming from the freeway, an electric hairdryer, even the running tap-water in the sink! The list goes on. The voice is not a friendly one. He has no mercy. He is not understanding or forgiving- like a drill sargeant from hell.

I have been recording EVPs in the house where I live because I believe it to be haunted. This may have helped me develop an ear for subtle sounds. I now have hundreds of EVPs with voices communicating with me about relevant issues in my life! The voice that I believe to be a ghost, has become a friend to me. I even know his name: Michael. He has told me many times that he wants to help me- that he can help me find lost items, and that he has a large sum of money hidden in the house that he wants me to have. I still haven't found anything, but he hasn't left. Sometimes, I wake up while half-asleep to a clear voice that sounds like it's coming from another dimension, saying "I can help you now."
The first time he said this, I was terrified and told him to leave me alone. Then I overcame my fears and agreed to let him help me. I get a deep sleep-paralysis when I hear him at night, and sometimes a feeling of love that envelops me in tingles and warmth. Turns out, there was a suicide in the room where I live. I have developed a friendship with someone who has passed to the other side!

Please, someone- I know there are more people who have been hearing voices in their fans. Please tell. I am not crazy. You are not crazy. We are hearing something significant. These voices are warning us of something terrible.

hello,

I have never done anything like this before but, I hear things in my right ear only sometimes it sounds like two people arguing, other times gibberish, and its going to sound funny but people having sex. I can't make out what anyone says or what the other noises I hear are. This has been going on for some time now sometimes I go for a period I will not hear anything and then all of a sudden it is back and I hear it all day long and especially when I go to sleep. Some days its really faint but can still hear and other days its loud but I have to have complete silence to really listen.

I also get gut feelings but only when something is bad but I have no idea what is going to happen or to who. My gut feelings are usually 90-95 percent right. This gut feeling I have is saying its a man and a women I am hearing in my ear. I used to always think it was my ex and his new girlfriend fighting because that is when all this started I believe I never paid much attention before so I do not know if I had it before my boyfriend and I split or not. I can remember a time we were together in the car and got a flat tire and I was asleep and he had to go out the next day and I didn't want him to go because I knew he would get another flat tire but I didn't get up in time to tell him and I saw the note he left that he would be back in a few and I knew it was hours he was gone and I was worried and he came home and sure enough he got another flat tire and I knew it was going to happen. I am just not sure what all of this means.

I too heard voices as a child. I was around 8 years old. I was alone in the living room when I heard many voices talking really fast at the same time. They were whispering. The voices were moving in a west to east direction. They got louder as they got closer and they sort of blew by like the wind. I really would like to know what that was that I heard. I never could make out exactly what they were saying, because they were talking so fast. Could someone help me out here? Email me at mdfwelding [at] yahoo.com

I know someone this has just started to happen to. They are waking up in the night and hearing many people talking really fast but they can't understand what they are saying. She said it has happened 3x. She also has had very realistic dreams all her life. She has told me she wakes up from a dream and can't go back to sleep because she believes the dream was real. She may wake up crying because she had been talking to a dead relative but when they were in there 20's or 30's and they died in their 80's. She never knew this relative when they were 20. It is really weird. I was wondering if she was psychic or if she is developing a mental illness? She has questioned both. She seems normal but I am scared for her because I don't know what to believe. Any comments would be great---

I Have What I Call "Circle Dreams" These Dreams Started When I Was 17. In These Dreams I'm Surrounded By Light With A Circle Of People Around Me As Far Back As I Can See, In My First Dream My Grandpa Stepped Forward
*He Died When My Mom Was 11,I've Only Seen Pictures Of Him, My Mom Doesn't Like To talk About Him It Makes Her Too Upset* He Stepped Forward In My Dream With A Little Boy. This Little Boy Stopped In Front Of Me.

He Flexed His Finger In And Out To Signal For Me To Bend Down, So I Did. He Said He Had A Message For Me. He Said "Don't Worry Kiddo,Everything's Going To Be Okay, Something Amazing Is About To Happen*At That Point My Grandpa Winked At Me.

The Next Day While My Mom And I Were In The Drive Threw At The Bank I Decided To Tell Her About The Dream, She Put Her Head On Her Hands On The Steering Wheel And Started Crying Heavily, I Told Her I Was Sorry And Didn't Mean To Upset Her But She Told Me Thank You. She Said That My Grandpa Would Always Tell Her That When She Was Sad And He Would Always Wink At Her And At That Time in My Moms Life She Was Very Depressed And she Hid It From Us Well.

I Have Had A Few More Experiences In That Part Of What Happens To Me. I Can Also Feel Air Shifts And Experience Other Peoples Emotions... I Don't Know Why.

Hearing Voices?
There's many reasons for this:

#1-you may be hearing a blip of a conversation that was recorded by the energy field of the location where you heard it. Like holographic film, conversations can become "trapped" or recorded inside an energy field and if you were tapped into the frequency that held this conversation in it, you could possibly hear it, along with other conversations that have been stored there.

#2. You could be hearing dead people:)
You could be listening in on the vibration or "frequency" of the spirit relm. I've heard that sound travels faster in this relm so many of their voices can sound strange, altered, really fast or really slow.

#3 You may be hearing Radio, cell phone, or television Frequency. Dogs can hear a full range of sounds that arent included in our human hearing capacity. Radio and tv, cell phone frequencys are passing through our bodies daily. In an altered state of conciousness you could possibly pick up on this frequency.

#4 Your spirit guide or loved one is talking.
These messages often come in the MOST CLEARLY and often sound like a familiar calming, loving voice. Or a familiar family or friends tone of voice. These are the best voices to hear:)

#5 Shadow people, dark entities. Spirits that want your attention, your energy so they can drain you. Usually these voices arent pretty, often say scary things that you think are just your own "bad thoughts". Fend them off by saying your own name out loud until you feel you've proclaimed your white light power! Tell them to get lost and ignore them.

:) I'm so happy I've found this. I have exactly the same thing going on, the voices are so powerful in one instant and then they're gone. Usually mine come in light little fluffs but occasionally it will be an overwelming chatter of voices... So don't worry there's more of you.

Gosh, I'm glad that I found this forum! I have been very aware of my psychic intuition my entire life - but recently, over the past 6-8 months, I've been hearing voices when I go to bed at night. It's a group of people - and it seems that they're in the next room or in the heating vents. I live in this house with my young son, whose bedroom is next to mine. He sleeps with the door open and goes to bed several hours before I do usually. So, I know that it isn't him. I cannot distinguish these voices - they are men and women chattering. Sometimes I hear laughter along with it. A few times I spoke out and told them to be quiet so that I could sleep (it's as if they are partying some times)...then they stop.
Now, it doesn't happen every night - it usually comes in waves. Like 5 nights in a row then nothing for a while. No real pattern. I know it's not mental illness because I never hear it any other times. I wondered if it was the result of being mentally over-stimulated from a busy day or having the T.V. On before bed. I really "sense" that these are souls who have passed on - but why I am hearing them and WHAT are they trying to accomplish with me?
I am grateful that you all are here. It is always a good thing to know that so many others are having similar experiences. Any advice would be wonderful - any books that I could read? Something?
Thank you!

hello...do you hear voices all the time?...me I also hear voices but not all the time... I also hear a group of people talkin and I did not understand what they was sayin... I had one voice scare me I had my eyes close so I can go to sleep well I had a guy say some thing in my ear... He was lound talkin... He sound so evil... And I look around and I never saw anyone

Hi guys. My experiences were a wee bit different. First of all, I'm only 20 and I might not have a lot of tales to tell. However, I do have whispering sounds in my head. Let's just say "something" is giving me messages in an unknown language but somehow, I was able to understand it. It happens infrequently, and I've actually help people with this messages. There was once, I sort of heard it and I've no idea why, I walked over to my friend and told her to be careful when she was heading home that day. It turns out that her home was broke into by thieves. There were many instances where I hear voices that sort of tell me what will happen in the next few minutes and then I'll have an image of the event that will happen (thats the best way I could put it). They call it pre-monition. I'm not sure bout that, but I've always believed these things to be my guardian angels since they've done good than harm. =)

hi,
Sometimes I hear conversations too, just bits though, and they seem so far away and I can't understand them... I had no idea other people experiance this too... I always used to shrug it off... Now I don't know. Once, at my old house, it was the middle of the night and I heard someone say my name, "rebecca" so clearly and loud that I jumped up awake. The voice sounded angry and I had to get up and search the place, but my family was asleep. I had just shrugged it off then as a dream but now I wonder if it was a ghost or something

Hello everyone, this site is great. I just wanted to share an experience I had as a child and need to verify what in the world it was. It started when I was about 8 years old (I am 39 now). I would be half asleep and I would start hearing multiple voices whispering in my ear. The voices would start off sounding far away and the whispering would gradually get louder and louder... To the point that I distinctly remember running into my parents room and begging my father to yell "Stop!" so the voices would go away. I could often sense when the whispering would start and would try to catch it by turning on my radio or yelling "Stop!" myself but sometimes it was just too strong. I could never understand what these voices were saying because they were whispering too fast. I don't ever remember feeling "paralyzed" as I didn't have any problem running into my parents room. By the time I was in my teens the episodes stopped completely. I never told anyone until recently because of course everyone will think I am nuts. But if I was truely schizophrenic, I would still be hearing voices today... And I don't. Is there someone who can explain to me what in he world that was and is it something I should try to tap into again as a positive thing or stay away from? It scared the you-know-what out of me as a kid. Thanks!

Hello MDX,
Unless you are planning on staying round your friends house again, I wouldn't worry about the voice.
If you are going to sleep over there again, there are a number of things you can do.
You can ask one of your protectors/ guides or helpers to shut out the voices for you, (even if you do not realise that you have these guides etc, they will listen to you and help) or you can ground yourself (ie; protect yourself, the simplest way to do this is to surround yourself in white light) and search for an understanding of what you are hearing, the same guides and helpers should help you to tune into what you are being told and why. You must trust them though, and one can only trust them properly if you believe in yourself. If you are completely green to all this, as I imagine you are, then spend a little time, searching this site for protection techniques, meditation realisations and discovering what you actually want to learn from this experience. You didn't really clearly state if you would rather these voices simply go away or if you wish to develop an understanding!?
See you on the flip!
Lin x 😊

Okay... Now finally a few people who won't consider me a freak for saying this! Everyone else I've told thinks I'm looney and I've lost it.
For the last few nights I have been staying at my friends new place, and every night since I've been there I keep hearing a man talk.
And I KNOW there's no man in the house, and no neighbours or nothing.
Everytime I drift off to sleep I hear this man, like he's talking to me, telling me things... Like a normal conversation. And I know I'm replying to what he's saying in my head but I can never remember what I'm saying after I've said it. I do remember however, that his name is David, he told me. And he asks me how I am and what I do etc. It's really creeping me out. Last night I spent a night at home, and nothing. I Didn't hear a thing. I asked my friend if she heard anything, and she said no and laughed at me as if I was a psycho! Please help me!
