Three years ago, while living by myself (with my dog) in my apartment--which was surrounded by woods--I would hear faint music (not music in my head, but actually in my apt) as I lay in bed before going to sleep. It sounded as if it was coming from some kind of radio, and I could hear what appeared to be a male DJ's voice over the music. I was never able to identify the DJ or the genre of music. The odd thing was there was never a tv, cd player, or radio on when I'd hear it. At first I'd get out of bed and check just to be sure that there indeed weren't any audible electronics on. One night my (ex)boyfriend spent the night, and as we lay in bed, I heard him say, "Do you hear that?" Sure enough, he was hearing the same thing. I don't remember when exactly the music started, but I heard it routinely for months.
I never told anyone about it for fear they'd suspect schizophrenia or that I was just making it up. Fast forward to present day. I live with my boyfriend in his house, which is in a residential area too but somewhat in a "country" setting. About a month ago I started hearing phantom music here too, only it wasn't the same music; it sounds like a symphony of some sort, or at least music of a high tempo. One night one of us mentioned it, and it turns out he and I both hear it.
I've been reading online to see if anyone else has the same experience. Those who do have been told to "seek help", get their hearing checked (it could be tinnitis), or that what they're relaying is a form of this: " The time as you're falling asleep, or as you're awakening, can be filled with vivid sounds and images. It's something like lucid dreaming, something like hallucinating, often very real-seeming and noticeable. As you go into sleep, that time is called the hypnagogic state. As you're awakening, it's called the hypnopompic. There are all sorts of interesting things that can happen during those times, including things like music, voices, and various illusions. " For my boyfriend and I, these theories don't hold much weight because one, we are both very lucid (and we heard it independently of one another); two, we are fairly young and don't listen to music loudly, so our hearing is fine; and three, we aren't asleep when we hear the music, not even falling asleep. We are simply lying quietly in bed.
Some people have given the explanation that what we--and others--are encountering is a form of astral projection, of psychic phenomena. I won't dismiss that theory, particularly because my bf and I have concluded beyond a doubt his house his is (benignly) haunted. However, I believe the following is the most likely: " This link talks about how as we AP we actually pick up radio waves.
Radio Waves
When I first heard music and voices while astral projecting, and within cord range activity (0-10 feet of my body) I thought I was perhaps reaching into the higher planes of the astral. I was wrong. What I was detecting was radio waves. I realized this when I recognized music that was played on local radio stations. The music I first heard was classical which is why I thought it might be higher planes, but when I heard pop songs, advertisements, and DJ's talking, I knew this was just regular radio frequencies. I even heard the time and was able to wake myself up and confirm that it was accurate. Once again, this points back to my topic on the "Filter Factor". So much is screened from our awareness while in the body. I have read, and have been recently told that "it's all about vibrations" and I'm thinking that is very true. Sounds, light, density, is all based on vibrations." I have long believed that was the case, before I even knew it was actually possible. And it seems the most logical explanation of what is occurring. But how and why we--and countless others--are picking up such frequencies/vibrations, I have no clue.
Anybody else have similar experiences?? :hmm:
