I had this thing where I was thinking about a song and as soon as I turn on the radio it was playing.... BUT I came to the conclusion it's because I must have ,at some point, been given a clue subconsciously. eg. from someones earphones next to me listening to the station, some one humming or tapping to the tune. You'll never remember these things, so you'll imagine your thoughts are totally original.
I would think if the same thing happens as you are going to sleep your brain would take things to the extreme because your conscious defenses are down somewhat.
About the people on radio finishing the sentence you think you heard, I would think it as a case of suggestive memory. Imagine that while you were hearing these talk-shows (in your mind) and I came and asked you to tell me all about the said talk-show and the topic they were discussing, I'm sure you'd draw a blank. I can't really explain it but there is an article here (long) http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/How-Our-Brains-Make-Memories.html
in summary just the act of remembering, can trigger your mind to start "making up memories", and as far as you are concerned you think they as real as day, when they aren't. So next time *before* you switch on the radio ask your self what were they talking about, *then* switch on the radio - this way your brain will have little opportunity to "fill in the gaps" and you can see for yourself whether you really did know what they were saying. The key is to ask yourself right before turning on the radio (letting the radio suggest)!
IIN to hear a radio station in your head while you're sleeping?
