Whenever I read about people hearing their name called it has often been described as 'urgent'.
This intrigues me, as I have only ever heard someone shout 'Louisa!' in a hypnogogic state, but it is almost always urgent, clipped, and to the point.. I often wonder if it there might be a vestige of something primal about it, perhaps a long forgotten purpose to it which we have forgotten how to interpret? Possibly anxiety related, nonetheless.
When she was still alive, I often heard my mother's voice calling my name in a semi sleep state, always with urgency, and as real as damn it.
I have never heard her since. Although there are a few occasions in recent months in which I have heard my ex (long term) partner call my name.
Didn't the Norwegian forum member 'Vardoger' used to be called 'First Person Vardoger' at some point? Or m I still asleep?
