I've had some of these experiences. But with me its not soo much a voice but an urgent feeling telling me to do something, of course, I've tried to ignore it, and get screwed in the process. Other times, I've listened, and have avoided getting stung by poisonous insects, for example, one time when I was younger, I felt the need to just wake out my dream, and as I was laying there, I heard something on my pillow, so I thought it was my hair, but my mind kept telling me no, come to find out there was this big ass centipede crawling right by my face.
And the sleeping with covers over my head, still happens to this day, granted that I've seen some real freaky shit.
1. One time when I was in middle school I woke up with an old wrinkled hand over my face.
(Around that time. I lived near a graveyard)
2. At that same place I saw a cherubim in the hallway.
3. At my great-grandfather's house, I was sleeping and felt something moving my pillow, and then saw something over my sheets and then saw something else like a shadowy figure at the corner (I ran the hell up out of there)
My younger cousin once woke out of her dream terrified, because she was seeing rats all around her, although wide awake..she had to come by my house to sleep.
I know my mother told me of a time when my grandmother was sleeping but trying to call her, and she couldn't, despite my mother standing right next to her. My family has a lot of these, stories, but they rarely talk about it, unless we're at a funeral
wow Neferti, this is all very interesting to me. I wanna know more
