Voice calling my name

The brain is a strange thing, name calling, door bells and telephone ringing are fairly common. Think of your brain as a computer which sometimes scrolls through old messages and then re-posts them.

I occasionally hear my mothers voice, just saying my name, nothing else. I recognise her voice at once, although in my day to day waking life I can't recall how her voice sounded...she died nearly 30 years ago.

Weird, but doesn't scare me, in fact it's quite comforting in a way even when nothing is amiss.

I ve never heard a voice but I ve been woken up by a very 'real' doorbell ringing but of course it's not it's in my head but it can seem really authentic

It happens to me too. Something to do with the brain reacting to the body falling asleep.

I think this is quite common. I have heard my mother calling me. Other people as well. Don't worry about it.

I get this all the time. It's usually MrA mithering about something he could perfectly well sort out for himself.

I wake up sometimes thinking someone is calling me. Spooky isn't it?!

I get this occasionally. It is nothing to worry about. See this link: www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/hearing-voices/#.WSrUp5LyuM8
