I was at the second gig, sitting at the desk doing some routine administrative things. Pretty boring, I must have dozed off a little which sometimes happens when things are slow.

This time around there was no dream to report, but upon awaking was when this strange occurrence took place. In fact it was the reason why I was startled out of the sleep state.

Well, I felt someone or something next to me with their mouth next to my ear saying something. Yes, it was startling hearing words, and detecting the presence of a person next to you. But when you look around nobody is there.

So it was either I’m going crazy, or it was a case of sleep paralysis, perhaps some sort of spirit decided it wanted to communicate with me.     

I suppose the technical term that is used when one hears voices upon waking is called “Hypnopompic hallucination.”
