Voices

LegacyUser

This a bit hard to explain, but I'm just wondering does anybody else get the same experience when they're trying to sleep...

Some nights when I lay in bed and try to sleep I hear conversations in my head. Usually it's just one person talking, sometimes two or three people talking amongst themselves.

Then the odd time I hear a whole room of voices, dozens and dozens of people talking. It's like being in a crowd at a match, there's a continuous noise of indistinguishable voices...but, I can concentrate and listen to any of the voices I like and hear what is being said.

Anybody get the same? I don't mind it, especially when I hear lots of voices, it's interesting. Kind of comforting. I'm always fully awake, so it's not a dream. The second I lay my head down I can hear them.

I also hallucinate at night. Not so much now, but a few months back it was every night. Use to always see insects on my pillow, somebody standing at the door or sitting on my bed, or the worst was when I thought somebody threw a grenade into my room and I ****ing freaked and woke people up...

But anyway I think that's been explained before here, just dreaming while awake, I suppose. But I've no idea about the voices. I'm 20 by the way. And healthy!

Yup I give this thread 20 minutes before it is locked ....

To OP, as a mod is probably about to post, this is not a medical board. Either this is a troll or you actually do hear voices in your head. Either way an internet bullet board is not going to help you. Hearing voices is not what someone would call "normal", it is often the sign of a serious mental health problem. You should see you GP who can referr you on to an expert.

maybe this should be moved to 'Paranormal' hehe
or just close it, if you want to consider it a medical issue

Go and see a doctor.

Can you actually make out different voices? Because it could be a prblem with your hearing. You may just be the room ambience that you mind somehow translates into voices.

And as for the hallucinations, well, that's just a waking dream. You're just on the verge of being asleep, and your mind is playing tricks on you. For the few moments it takes for you to distinguish reality from dreams, you start seeing shapes in the shadows. It used to happen to me all the time.

thats not too normal methinks

I have experienced similar hallucinations, but much less frequency, and only when I have a fever or am really sleep deprived. But hey, people pay good money to have such effects..

Turn the tv off!. Seriously though not sure on the voices thing but the hallucination thing has happened to just about everyone. Jumanji said it, sometimes when I go to sleep I wake up almost 2 minutes later shocked, heart racing was just a dream albeit a really quick one. If it contiues see your gp.

You probably need to just get some healthy sleep.

Are you stressed? Get some exercise, eat properly and look after yourself.

All the voices are yours (unless you are hearing the TV). Just make sure you exclude the intrusive ones.

But go see a doctor.
