I have been have a voice talk to me just as I am falling asleep. It is not a scary voice or one that really disturbs me it just says my name or asks me things like 'what do you want' very loudly in my ear.

Where could this voice be coming from and why is it that I only hear it as I am falling asleep. I really started hearing it more frequently since I started meditating for an hour each day but I do not know if that has anything to do with it...any thoughts about this?

I don't know. I suppose there are any number of possibilities. What does it feel like? Is it more 'internal' or 'external'? Is it male or female?

Clairaudience is receiving messages in thoughtform from another frequency or realm. It is considered a form of channeling.

We actually do it all the time, especially under duress, or in an emergency, when we focus/listen to what we call the 'little voice' in our head. We are always connected to the other side, we need only focus on what is being said to realize how our immediate destiny is manifesting. Stop, Look, and Listen.
Sounds as if your practice of meditation is opening you up more to this...

The entities attributed to these messages are often thought of as one's soul, spirit guides, decease loved ones, disincarnate entities, angels or other religious icons, sometimes sadly even dark/negative forces, etc.

Sometimes the messages are preceded by the scent of something kind related to the spirit. Most often it is a floral fragrance, representing the Flower of Life or creation, continuity with the other side in different frequencies. This is known as Clairsentience. Sometimes there is pressure on top of the head of other chakra points in the head around (lower base of brain, behind the ears) one's focus is shifted to listen for thoughts and they come through. Sometimes they are clear, other times muffled. There may be a pressure on top of the head means the opening of the crown chakra. One may also experience body sensation such as chills, tingles, hair standing on end, tickles, or other physical sensations.

Learning to listen to different entities is as much fun listening to different people who have something important to tell you.

You can learn to distinguish their messages by their frequency signatures, as each soul has its own soul note or frequency signature.

You my dear are just more in tune with your spiritual self.
Do not be afraid, for the is a true gift to recognize.

My guess would be that if you explored a bit more this side of you. You would discover many other connecting gifts.
[examples: CLAIRGUSTANCE, CLAIRSENTIENCE, CLAIRVOYANCE, automatic writing, etc. perhaps?]

Clairaudience - Intuitive
This is a person who will pick up a thought and hear it. This persons mental or intellectual understanding is very important and they can make good leaders. We all know someone that we would say was a mental person, always having to understand mentally. They carefully think things through. If this person were to become enlightened they would have the ability to become a medium, someone who channels information from entities who have passed over, because their most heightened sensitivity is to hear.

Clairvoyance- Visionary
This is a person who will pick up a thought and see it. This person has the ability to transform a thought into a vision, symbol or in colour by using their mind's eye. If an artist, a decorator, a creative person, someone who mainly uses the right side of their brain were to become enlightened they would have the ability to read auras, our chakras, draw guides and this is how they would channel what they received because the ability to see images is their most heightened sensitivity.

Clairsentience - Prophetic (1)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and just knows it. This person is sensitive to precognition and has hunches, dreams and knowings and this person usually deals with the future or present and how it will affect another. If you were to meet an enlightened Prophetic you would be able to get some information about your 'line of probability', tomorrow is not set in time remember. This could be a person who has a dream about something and that dream turns out to happen in reality. They have the ability of prediction because they 'just know' and can tune into and understand their hunches.

Clairsentience - Feeler (2)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and transform it immediately into a feeling. This persons life can revolve around how it feels to them. Their sense of touch is well-developed and they have the ability to know people by feeling what they feel. After enlightenment, this is someone would have the ability to practice psychometry. The ability to put something belonging to someone in their hand and read the energy. Depending on their other gifts, they could tell the past, present or future from the energy. They have the ability to feel how others feel but only on the emotional level. They will be able to not only empathise but experience their pain, loss, grief etc. For instance, if they were to channel energy from a persons past life they would experience the pain and hurt that that soul experienced in that past lifetime.

Clairgustance - Taste
Clairgustance is being aware of tastes without putting anything physically in the mouth. To perceive the essence of a substance through taste from the spiritual or ethereal realms. The sensation of what one is tasting is often linked to a spirit on the other side.

Claircognizance - Know
The sense of knowing through our brain, even though it is not a physical sense, simply because it has a corresponding metaphysical sense known as claircognizance, or knowing without knowing how you know.

Clairolerance - Smell
The sense of Smelling different fragrances from Spirits to find that earthly connection, strong odours you can't escape and can't explain a reason for eg: Cooking odours, Perfumes, Cigars or Cigarettes, Flowers, Extra. The characteristic essence linked to a spirit on the other side.

"Using some of the senses or all of the senses you can do"
Psychometry - Touch
Psychometry is another form of psychic divination using the sense of touch to get mental impression linked to it. Psychometric impressions may come in the form of emotions, sounds, scents, tastes or images. The visions can appear is single flat images, much like a photo, or as animations. As we exist in an electromagnetic energy reality, metal objects often work best.

I wish you the best of luck on the adventures ahead of you!

Nice informative reply!

NAM- it is nice to hear that you have witnessed someone that also hears the voices. I am lucky to not have sleep apnia(sp?)

yourfriendinspirit- THANK YOU for all the information! I do have some of the things that you describe also happening...I am not afraid as nothing negative has happened. I have LOTS of Clairsentience. I dream things all the time...the weird thing for me is that I often say things to people thinking that it has already happened and they look at me like I am crazy and then when it comes to pass they always ask how I knew.
I have also had Clairolerance and work smelling the smells on my skin and others can smell the scent on me.

fayte- nice to hear from you again! I too think it is very positive! I have answered what I want and I am waiting now to see if it comes to pass...(I know it will)

The voice I sometimes hear has proved to be quite fascinating, and completely accurate, so far. Just keep that mind of yours open!

I will keep it up and maybe we can swap stories about the voices one day!

Did the voice that spoke to you seem familar to you? Like the voice of a family member or friend that had past?

Very interesting dream/transitional experiences!

I say "transitional" since many of these voices and other sensations occur during the process when consciousness travels into unconsciousness or vice-versa.

Personally, I've not yet had a dream where I knew I was dreaming and, hence, been able to do as I pleased. I have, though, heard voices as I'm falling asleep and as I'm waking up. Once I heard the voice as I was falling asleep and it was giving me the choice to either die and rest from the heaviness of the world or to keep on living with hope. I know it sounds loony but to this day, I feel that I could have really chosen to die.

I'm glad I didn't, though.
