It was coined and classified in 1983 by Dr. The actual term and subsequent explanations is fairly recent. During this transitional phase, it is common to experience a wide array of sleep-related phenomena, such as “Old Hag Syndrome” and “Out of Body Experiences” The term is rather broad and in actuality describes the stage of transitioning between somnolence and sleep and vice-versa. The scientific name given to the phenomenon is Hypnagogia. In true science/medical fashion, scientists and doctors believe that the experience is a very real thing and in fact is so common that it is considered abnormal to NOT experience it. Science has a way of trying to explain away the paranormal and the paranormal field is often at odds with such explanations. It can be scary, disorienting, and downright confusing. Sometimes it is clear as day, other times it is muted, but still rather unsettling.įor those that experience this phenomenon, it is off-putting but fascinating at the same time. Still, every now and then it returns.Īdditionally, in my case at least, it is not always just hearing someone scream my name, but I can actually hear conversations, like someone talking, not necessarily to me, but carrying on the most mundane of conversations with someone. The event occurred frequently in my late teen years and subsided as I got older. In fact, the phenomenon is so real and so convincing, that when it does happen I often bolt upright in bed and yell out, “WHAT?!” much to the chagrin of any one who would happen to be next to me. When discussing this at work this morning, several people shared stories with me about them being jolted awake by the sound of someone calling their name. Others assumed I was talking about a very real phenomenon that some see as paranormal in nature. The replies to the post ranged from people who got the reference to those who assumed I was being mysterious, or had mental issues. I left the last part off and ended it with “And have you heard voices?”

The other night I posted the above quote from the Paul William’s penned song which was featured prominently in the original “The Muppet Movie” as well as the new movie “The Muppets”. “Have you been half-asleep? And have you heard voices? I heard them calling my name” -Kermit the Frog
