[QUOTE="donna723, post: 77752, member: 1883"] I've had the experience that Marg was talking about too, just before you fall asleep - twice - but both times it was live people! The first time was when my daughter was nine months old. We lived in Florida then and my parents lived here in Tennessee and they hadn't seen my daughter yet. Long story there. But I was sound asleep one night and was jarred wide awake by my fathers' loud voice calling my name! It was HIS voice and like he had yelled my name right in my ear! Weird! A few days later we got our tax refund and I bought a plane ticket and flew to Tennessee with my baby daughter and spent a very nice week with my parents. My dad [i]adored[/i] my daughter - their first granddaughter! We left to fly home on a Saturday - and my dad died of a massive heart attack that following Monday - less than 48 hours after we left! The second was two and a half years ago and it was my son. Some of the older members may remember that he made a very serious suicide attempt and ended up in a coma in the ICU on a ventilator for several days. He was starting to come out of it but had gotten pneumonia and they were keeping him heavily sedated and restrained, hoping to clear the pneumonia before they let him come all the way out of it and removed the ventilator. I was staying in the family lounge on the bottom floor where they let relatives stay the night in a big room full of recliners. I was exhausted but couldn't sleep that night and was wide awake, just laying there. Everybody else was sleeping and the whole big room was quiet. And suddenly I heard what could only be described as a loud, garbled, angry, sputtering scream ... and I KNEW that it was my sons voice! I KNEW it! It sounded just like he was right next to me! I sat there completely freaked out for about ten minutes ... and then one of the monitors came and told me that I had a phone call! It was one of the ICU nurses, and she said that my son had apparently woke up enough to grab the ventilator tube and yank it right out of his throat! But he was AWAKE and he was OK! Mad as all get out and had no idea where he was or what was going on, but he was OK! And it would have been VERY painful to pull that tube out because there's a little bulb at the end that inflates to keep it in place - they DE-flate it to remove the tube, but he just yanked it out. He's lucky he didn't injure his vocal cords, but he was OK! And I HEARD HIM DO IT!! I was down on the first floor of this huge hospital and he was in the seventh floor ICU, but I heard him! [/QUOTE]
