I had quite an experience about a week ago and i havent been able to sleep since. one morning when i was waking up, right after my alarm clock went off, i was still sort of asleep and heard this faint sound of a woman. i just brushed it off and i guess fell back asleep. what seemed like a few seconds later i heard this VERY vivid sound of a woman right outside my bedroom door -- sort of like moaning/crying and then it ended with what sounded like a sneeze. it sounded SO real that i shot out of bed and went to look (i live alone.) when i went to look nobody was there. ive been doing some research and found that these types of hallucinations can occur when falling asleep or waking up (when the body is in between wake and REM stages, maybe much like your body jerking when you're falling asleep). you can see things or hear noises such as voices or sounds. im guessing this was just some sort of hallucination. PLEASE i need help getting over this! it scared me so much i havent slept in a week!
