A strange recurring phenomena I experience now and again is being awoken in the middle of the night by 'someone' shouting my name. Yet no one is there. Does anyone experience similar?
The voice shouting my name is usually very loud and seems angry, as if it's trying to wake me and/or stop me from doing something in my dream. I never remember the dream unfortunately.The coma bit is a little grim. But i do feel suspicious after being woken up and no one being there.
The "unearthly calls' was a little tongue in cheek! I don't believe in the supernatural although I'm fascinated by anything that can be perceived as such.I get loud knocking on the door, phone ringing, people shouting my name, or 'Mum!' or, sometimes, the dog barking.
None of it is real. It's all my brain firing off as I come up to waking. If I didn't know what it was it would proper put the wind up me, I live alone! (Except for the dog, that is).
Like the 'exploding head syndrome' that people get. Unsettling but harmless.I have been in bed , half awake and half asleep and heard a loud snapping sound, like someone breaking a piece of wood right next to my head, bringing me awake again. This has happened a couple of times.

It's rare with me remembering any dreams. When I was small i used to think it was ghosts.The voice shouting my name is usually very loud and seems angry, as if it's trying to wake me and/or stop me from doing something in my dream. I never remember the dream unfortunately.
How's your sleep in general and how are you overall?Very interesting reading, thanks.
Disturbed. To both!How's your sleep in general and how are you overall?
Shame about the boobs, though.I was looking at another thread. About Bhutan Poltergeist. But then I see something that looks like boobs, so I pressed it's actually 2 women in brains. But it's actually an article on anomalien.com that says about new evidence that suggests we go to parallel universe in our dreams.
Oh yes, I've had that once or twice too - usually accompanied by a flash of very bright light.
Annoying when one is trying to get off to sleep.

I'd go with what Enola and Scrag have said and wouldn't be too worried about it unless it starts impacting your life. Can you remember during what part of sleep it was? Was it during dreaming, falling asleep, waking up?
I'd look at ways to improve the quality of your sleep, like looking at diet, exercise, avoiding stimulants at least 3 hours before bed, throwing out the ratty old pillow that sort of stuff.
Also the link to EHS.

Has anyone heard the front doorbell ring but you think its real but in fact its in your dream ?
Something similar happened to me a couple of times, only the snapping sound, which was very loud, sounded like a rubber band. The first time I was in bed but awake, and my sister in my guest room who was also awake heard it too.I have been in bed , half awake and half asleep and heard a loud snapping sound, like someone breaking a piece of wood right next to my head, bringing me awake again.
