it may or may not be paranormal, but when i'm going to fall asleep, if i get to a certain state of mind, i start "hearing" voices in my head. like sometimes i can recognize them, sometimes i don't, and they usually sound like small pieces of conversation one after the other. sometimes i hear my name.
im sorry im not really good with descriptions, but does this happen to anyone else?

Could be random thoughts or a medical condition, for example schizophrenia

Yeah, it used to happen to me a lot when I lived up north in an isolated area. Still happens to me on occasion, but I probably don't notice it as often these days as I usually fall asleep with the TV on.

Occasionally. It's annoying as hell when it happens.
>for example schizophrenia
Puh-leeze.

It's called a hypnogogic hallucination, and happens to 10% of the population, according to the American Sleep Association. https://www.sleepassociation.org/patients-general-public/hallucinations-during-sleep/

Artifact of evolution, has to do with how the way our brain processes audio information is still evolving. Most likely they're murmers of what you heard during the day, as when you dream your brain replays the actions of that day at a lower frequency. That's why you always figure out what you should have said right as you fall asleep, but never in the conversation when it would have been the snappiest comeback ever; your brain finally had time to reprocess the information and integrate into your... I guess audio cortex or whatever it should be called.
happens to me every single fucking night, it scares the hell out of me
