Voices as you fall asleep or wake up – This is quite normal human experience and nothing too ominous about it.

these are called hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, and are to do with your brain being partly in a dreaming state. The voice is likely to call your name, or say something very brief, or you may hear other brief sounds such as a telephone ringing.

You may also see strange things, or misinterpret things you can see, such as seeing a coat on a hook as a person standing in the doorway. These experiences usually stop as soon as you are fully awake.

Hahahaha you can imagine... She first said she was asleep and then heard the voice and at the same time tried to deny it being a hallucination.. WTF..

She just needed some spirity explanations conjured by lazy fearful minds.. Sometimes killing and burying these superstitions and myths feels good

brother I know you don't believe in spirit or supernatural and that does not mean they don't exist if you doubt supernatural force ,PLEASE TAKE A BELL GO TO BURIAL GROUND BY 1 a.m , ring the bell three times and see wonders what you see convince you that there is super power somewhere. You are Just talking nonsense. White guys say what you want to hear.
Re: Hello by Nobody: 5:29am On Feb 26, 2016

You heard voices in your head. Instead of going to see a psychologist, you believe a dead Jew is trying to communicate with you. Is this not madness?

im used to getting called wen am sleeping either by my parents or my siblings nd i always wake up to answer them but today dad went out nd i was alone in d house so i slept suddenly i heard dad voice coming from his room calling my name i answered nd i went to his room bt i was shocked to see nobody there.i even looked for his car around bt it was no where to be found so i asked our guard abt his whereabout he said he hasnt returned.im neither dreaming nor hallucinating because dats dats hw i usually wake up wen he call me nd it was from his room i heard his voice.so i want to ask whether anybody has experienced dis before as its completely strange to me.

Since you believe you were neither sleeping nor hallucinating, what else do you think it might be?

I have witnessed it before. Someone calls and you check and see that they are not there. For me, I immediately knew I had hallucinated. I also every time I had sleep paralysis. Once I had this sleep paralysis. I heard a voice at my window saying I will die that day if I stepped out of the house. The sound of the fan woke me up. I went out and I never died.

People don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed... This mindset is a shame to human intellect

Something similar has happened to me too. Almost died on my bed 4yrs ago, was partially awake when i got attacked by a force. It tried to draw my breath away, i struggled hard but no way. I was a gonner until i heard an unfamiliar, very gentle and low voice but yet audible enough. It called my name twice...the second time it called, i regained my freedom. I woke up fully panting for air..

When this happened, it was so real but sooner than i expected doubt cropped in and i was glad to dismiss it as mere hallucination. Itwas easier that way i thought.

Four months later i got born again. From that period till today, i experience several spiritual attacks with my eyes wide open.

But you are asleep...

Whether you are asleep or not asleep, hearing voices without anyone calling you is a normal human experience and it is a hallucination you need not believe it, you can believe your spirity explanations rather.

that is if you know what Hallucinations are

Yes Thank God because it is the reason you have such superstitious mindset and cling to it even in the face of the truth.

People will run away from the truth because they don't want their imaginary lazy fantasies destroyed by it..

Have fun with it smiley

The reason you explain everything you dont understand away is because of fear. Be man enough to agree that there are realities you cannot grasp.

Quit telling yourselves lies.

My advice to you as a Muslim.

Firstly increase in dhikr especially those of the morning and evening and the dh"ikr of going to bed and waking. Many people are negligent of these prayers. Buy the book citadel of the believer it should suffice in shaa Allah.

it could be the jinns (demons) that are disturbing you and trying to cast fear in your heart so that you will seek assistance from their friends (magicians and soothsayers) and eventually push you into disbelief. Reciting suratul baqarah chases the demons from the house as the Messenger said the jinns don't stay in a house which baqarah is recited.

secondlyl

try to seek medical assistance, it is not right to always make everything seem spiritual.

thirdly,

please don't make the mistake of visiting any of those religious criminals i.e pastor and those alufa that call themselves Alfa! not to talk of babalawo. They will take advantage of you and even complicate your problem.

The sunnah is to call on Allah directly without any intermediaries. I pray that Allah rectifies your affairs and increase you in steadfastness.
