Is it normal that i hear voices when i wake up?

Lately I've been woken up by a voice within my head. I'm not really sure what they are saying, but they startle me out of sleep. I don't hear them any other time during the day. Is this normal?

    So do I. It's my mom telling me to get my ass out of bed.

    It happens to me to. I just put it down to sleep paralysis.

    Normal. One time I was sleeping next to my boyfriend and I swore he asked me if I was horny and I immediately woke up and jumped his bones..turned out he was completely passed out and didn't say anything to me.

    He did wake up and join in though ;)

    I have the same problem, it's just something that happens when you're waking up from a dream.
    I once walked over to turn off my radio (I could hear the Simpsons talking) and didn't realize I didn't own one until I was fully awake.

    Probably just a dream. I had something like that once where I would hear thunder and SWEAR it was real when I was half asleep. Once I found out there had not been any rain on the days it happened it stopped-probably cuz I was aware it was a dream and my mind didnt do that in my sleep anymore.

    I know that when falling asleep or half waking up people are more susceptible to hearing voices, which are really your own thoughts.
    I believe this is normal, for the most part.

    No, it's not the radio, other people (I live alone), and it's not "shadow people." It's either a sleep condition or a mental condition.

    It's the radio alarm function from your digital clock.

  • Do you do meditation? If you do that's the reason. But I'm not gonna say more.

    I used to hear people calling my name in the daytime. O.o I'd hear "Caitlynn! Caitlynn!" And i'd ask someone areound me..."What?" They'd be like "I didn't say anything"

    Maybe you are half asleep. I used to get a lot of that bur when I was falling asleep, not when waking up. But mine were the voices of people I knew, stating clear sentences. I don't get that anymore now that I don't live such an agitated life.

    People will have a bunch of answers for that. I think they're spirits (bad) trying to communicate with you. I use to get them while falling asleep, it's always halfway into sleep as if you're entering a more spiritual state, you shouldn't be consciously interacting with these things but they are there. That's my theory, I hope it doesn't scare you. I would just practice at sleeping better, eating better things before bed, getting up at a reasonable time, and just generally practicing doing good things that make you and others around you happy. I think positive influence keeps shit like that away, personally. Anyways, hope things get better, take care.

    • Well yes that's true, they are just shadow people. They are bad, but they can't hurt you. They know this, so they try to spook you out of the house as all they really want is the house to themselves.

      The situation of waking or falling asleep with voices is simply when a shadow person gets stuck in your bed. They are usually silent, they hate any noise (it's one of the reasons they want the house for themselves) but will kick up quite a bit of a fuss if stuck in bed with you. The voices are shadow people/person trying to scare you out of bed so they can escape.

        Okay fair enough. I sound crazy. Do you really think sleep paralysis is the reason why she or anyone else would hear voices before waking or while falling asleep? Because she and I aren't the only ones. And I've experienced sleep paralysis, where shadowy figures move across the room, and you lay there unable to move or even speak. I mean, the experiences speak more to what I'm saying than anything else it seems.

        Not only that but I actually encouraged her to live better as an offering of help since I don't experience stuff like that as much as before and you just mock me. Keep the good contributions up.

        • It just shadow people, they kick up a fuss during an attack of sleep paralysis because you can't get away or ignore them. The sleep paralysis is unconnected to them, but they capitalise on it.

            You're dumber than you think if you think what you say actually bothers me. I troll people all the time. You're wasting your time I hope you know. And even if a little voice of your own comes into your head and says "he's gonna crack" you're still fooling yourself.

            No hard feelings though I still think you're funny.

            • You seem unable to recognise the difference between trolling, reality and fiction. If I were trolling you it would be done by now, and successfully at that.

              I mean come on, "shadow people", who would ever buy that. The fact that you think someone would be trying to troll you with that makes you stupid as hell.
