I had this happen a few times when I was quite young (kindergarten-gradeschool age), and it hasn't happened in many years since. For me, it was always my mom's voice, except for maybe once or twice when it was my dad's, I think. It would happen with or without my mom present. I never had any unusual occurrences associated with this, as I recall.
Just an hour ago my mom heard someone calling her name as she was laying in bed about to drop off. She says she was sort of meditating, creating a fictional story in her mind's eye, something she does that helps her relax before she goes to sleep. She heard a voice that she didn't recognize calmly say her name, as if to get her attention, interrupting her meditation. She looked to her side, where she heard it, but saw nothing unusual. She says this is the first time in years she's heard her name called like this, and the first time it has ever sounded like it didn't come from "inside her head". She's had occasions when she's heard her mother call her name, then she telephoned her mother who said she had "just been thinking about her". One month she heard my dad call her name three different times, but he works away from home. She called him to ask if anything had happened, and apparently he'd been going through a pretty tough time.
So, has anyone here heard your name called when no one was apparently present, or when those present hadn't said it? Any occurrences that seem to relate? Any information about this phenomena? Is it psychological or psychical, I wonder?
