There are certain states, or conditions, where things appear to happen more often.
One of these states for me is this fulcrum where you can either drop back off to sleep, or open your eyes and wake up.
So, 45 years ago or so, I'm sleeping on the couch. My girlfiend is cleaning up quietly, trying not to wake me up. (We are still together.)
I'm in that fulcrum zone, and I hear her voice as if she is talking to me through a metal tube say "Are you awake?"
So I sat up and said, "No, I'm not awake."
She ran screaming from the apartment, and wouldn't come back or talk to me for a few weeks.
When we did talk, she said it just isn't right to be inside her thoughts like that. She was about to ask me if I was awake because I had shifted around and she could see my eyes moving under the eyelids. Before she could say it, I sat up and answered her.
I realized that the metal tube sound and real sound were not the same thing. And I realized that most of the time when I "hear" things, they are off in speed or sound quality, yet I can recognize the voice if I know the person.
To this day, I still annoy her by answering her before she asks me things, or telling her what song or music is going on in her head. She doesn't mind now. She trusts me and loves me the way I am. Yet it is still freaky and annoying to her. She knows it's coming because I can't help but smile when I say something to her.
It is not always fulcrum data now, in particular with her or others who are very close.
But it is an excellent place to start for anyone interested in this phenomena.
