hearing but sleep?

[magix281]

have you ever been Fully Sleep , dream playing and all, but able to hear everything thats not happening in the dream. for example.... your dream is about you buying a brand new car a test driving and loving it, all of a sudden the words are being replaced with everything thats going on  the outside world while you are still asleep. this happened to me and while my dream was going on i heard everything, at firsth i thought it was just my mind until i recalled everything that had been said by my family while i was still sound asleep? whats going on.

Ok...let's see if anyone can help with this issue.  I don't sleep well.  I usually wake up every 1-2 hours...and then go back to sleep.  Can anyone tell me why...when I am sleeping ....I absolutely HEAR my doorbell ring...or my hardwood floor crick, as someone walked over it...or rushing water...or a door slam....or some kind of a sound.....that is sooooo real!!!  I am the only one in the house at the time.  I never hear anyone talking to me...just sounds, when I am sleeping.  What's that all about?  I don't do ANY type of drugs.  Sometimes, I take Melatonin to help me sleep but not every night.   It's happened off and on for about the last 5 years....and it does NOT happen every night...usually about 2-3 times a month.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

This can happen when a person is slipping into sleep or is about to wake up from sleep. This happens because of the transition into the wakefulness state. If you study the brain waves at this point of time, it shows combinations of both, sleep and wakefulness.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
