“Wake up!” That’s what I heard about 2 p.m. this afternoon. I woke up at noon and laid in bed thinking about getting up but never doing so except to go to the bathroom. I finally went back to sleep and was asleep for a very short time, maybe even seconds, when a voice shouted “Wake up!” I was startled. Who would be waking me up? It sounded like a man’s voice pretty much but I couldn’t tell for sure. I lay there trying to figure it out. The voice sounded somewhat distant. Was someone outside the bedroom window trying to wake me up?

I thought about it for a while but never did figure it out. I got up and looked out all my windows to see if someone outside was wanting me to wake up. There wasn’t anybody.

I got my pillow and went into the living room where I lay on the couch. I went back to sleep for a couple more hours without any further strange occurrences.

I don’t know why I heard someone shouting at me to wake up unless it came from the dream state but it was so real.

    I’ve had similar experiences periodically throughout my life. I used to hear someone calling my name from far away even while I was awake. It’s not uncommon these days for me to be dreaming and know the alarm is going to wake me up in a few seconds. And viola, it does.

    Was there something that occurred after you woke that you might have missed had you stayed asleep?

    Hi, Tim. No, nothing further occurred after I woke up. I’ve had these things happening since I was a kid also. Noises. People both male and female calling my name. I heard a gunshot recently which I blog in another entry. a loud gunshot. But nobody there. That was startling.
    The male voice which woke me up with “Wake up!” sounded like my friend Scott Ternan, who died a couple years ago. Maybe he was just messing with me, heh.
    Thanks for stopping by.
