Whispers, Voices, Premonitions During R.E.M. Sleep

I would like to know if anyone else has experienced something similar to this or might have ideas of what this may be. This is a first for me on ATS, so if it's not posted in the right area, I apologize..MODS, I will be more than happy to move it..ANYWAY HERE WE GO...Several months ago I was hearing what sounded like whispering just before falling back asleep. It sounded close enough to my face that I would freeze up and have to literally "shake" myself awake (if that makes any sense)...It was constant for a few weeks straight (usually in the morning) I have had a few strange occurences in the past and was in some way "preparing" for something bad to happen. I could not make out what the "whispering" was (no clear words) and while I thought it might be a "message" of some sort, it just stopped. ***Now I'm preparing for the naysayers/ non-believers, but in 1999 I had a dream of 2 large explosions and I was woken up by a womans voice whispering 99999911111 -- Please bare with me, I know people are quick to judge -- I immediately called my mother (we have family in NY) and although there was nothing obvious about the dream taking place in NY, I told her that something bad was going to happen in NY on 9-9-01 or 9-11-01...Again, nothing about the dream was about NY, it was a feeling and I just "knew" somehow that what happened in my dream was in NY...I had no other details...just a crazy dream and an awful feeling. I was also insistant that my mother take me serious and write down the date. She did. The dream only happened once and I had long forgotten about it --without going into un-needed detail we all know what happened on that day -- and I have my entire family who tells people about the story and how creepy it is. I would like others to share similar stories and express their opinions. I am prepared for the "BS" comments and that's fine..I care more about hearing similar stories and your thoughts of what/who the whispers or "messages" may be.

I'd like to change this to the proper area of the site so it does not get removed but dont know how...

Not disbelieving. What you say sounds interesting. I have heard strange noises but not voices combined with feelings of anxiety
