psychic hearing in dreams?

[heidie]

Hi everyone,

I just had a really strange experience last night and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it.

Last night I was sleeping at a friend's house. I was sleeping in a bed in one of her spare bedrooms which I have done before several times. For some reason every time I sleep in this bedroom I pass out cold and have very intense dreams. Last night was no exception.

About midway through the night I awoke to a ringing sensation in my ears. I could hear voices which at the time I thought were my friends who were sleeping in the other two bedrooms. It wouldn't make sense for them to be talking though because we were all asleep. The voices sounded a bit in distress.

At one point I thought to myself - "this is what psychic hearing sounds like". The sound in my ears seemed to be coming directly from my ear although I have read that you actually pick up psychic sounds in the area directly above your ears. I attempted to get up and go to the bathroom to make it go away but it continued. I don't think I actually went to the bathroom, only dreamed I did. After I got back from the bathroom I laid back down and a stone angel appearred in my right hand vision. I called out "I'm not ready to see yet!" and the angel disappeared. I also remember hearing small voices on the top of my head, right near my third eye. I don't remember what they said though.

Eventually the hearing and voices disappeared too. At that point I was physically awake, and I remember touching my leg. However I was definitely in an altered brain state (alpha perhaps? it definitely wasn't beta).

Was this just a lucid dream or was I actually psychically hearing things? Any thoughts?
