Is it normal that when i'm falling asleep i hear random voices?

a lot of the times, right as i'm beginning to fall asleep i'll hear a voice (usually somebody i know, a voice i recognize) say something totally random. and it's not something that they had said that day or in the past as far as i'm aware. it's really weird. i was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

    They're called hypnogogic hallucinations and are perfectly normal

    Defiantly ! I hear them sometimes although mine aren't from people that I know. They're just pretty random. I'm pretty sure it has to do with your subconscious mind taking over as you fall asleep and being to have REM ( rapid eye movement ) or as most people call them , Dreams :) . Nothing to worry about.

  • You're probably clairevoyant or whatever, and yes, it's normal.

    Hey I think dude is right, you're passing out and about to start dreaming. I've had people in my dreams say to me that "yes they know I know that I'm dreaming and it's the spirit world". I think the voice or voices you hear start to suggest the course your mind is about take in your dream. ( like what you dream next)
