Has anyone ever heard their name while sleeping causing them to wake up?

Similar things have happened in my family...to my grandmother, mother, me, and now my daughter.

One thing is for certain: we were always told that when you hear your name being spoken without no true source that can produce it, it's your spirit guides(guardian angels) letting you know they're with you. 💚 >”

Girl I’m hoping so. But why would my spirit guides want to scare me? You know.. it left me TERRIFIED and I prayed to god it would go away. I’m hoping that’s what it is...

The only one to clearly say my name was my mother.

It was about a week after she passed. It was clear

and loud but not in a scary way. just calling out to me.

though they may startle us..they may not intend to do so.

Maybe to just give a nudge to let us know they are there?

Did you feel anything negative from it?

Negative like it was going to hurt me? Im not sure.. it scared me that’s for sure even sitting my room alone rn is creeping me out. But I guess I wasn’t to scared because Inknow god wouldn’t let anything harm me. Why does that matter if I felt anything negative ?

What’s your Rising sign, if you don’t mind me asking?

I wouldn’t be too alarmed. If you’re prayed up and stay spiritually focused often, it’s normal to have awakening moments that are terrifying. That’s the soul divided from the ego. The ego is abso-fucking-lately terrified of spiritual change.

Ex. Late last year I had my own extremely vivid spiritual dream. I woke up feeling shooketh, in a literal sense. I couldn’t fall back asleep for about three hours because it was so vivid, so emotionally charging. In a way thendream left me feeling terrified the second I woke up. (I sat straight up when I woke up, it was a bit of an violent awakening, literally and metaphorically lol.) Yet in the dream, and once fully awake, I wasn’t actually scared as much as I was shocked and trying to understand the message. My moment of fear was due to experiencing something unknown. After meditation and analysis tho, I understood the point and felt a deep sense of clarity.

I guess the main reason it scared me is because SOMETHING wanted to wake me up. It’s like it wanted me get up from bed and follow it. I can’t explain it. But it wasn’t a negative voice it was actually a soft whisper. It was a feminine voice. Like angelic.

I agree. Maybe intention wasn't bad.

Maybe instead ..done to guide you here

to ask questions. to look deeper so that you won't feel as scared there anymore or as often

So first off, I’m freaked tf out. I live alone, and honestly I’ve been super stressed out lately because of work related issues. And also my dog of 9 years died in my apt and she was always my stress reliever during these times. So I’m a pretty spiritual person. I pray every day, I carry crystals, & for my whole life when I’m stressed I’ll have dreams of warnings, or I'll dream about something that’ll eventually happen, & it usually does. Sometimes if I ask god for a sign he’ll give it to me in my dreams.

I thought my ex was cheating on me & I actually dreamt that he was dealing w a friend behind my back. A month later I found out it was true and they were hiding it from me. The night my aunt died when I was 12 I had a dream that she called me at 2:33am, when I woke up I had NO MISSED CALLS and my mom told me she died in a car accident at 2:33am, of coarse nobody believed me.

So anyways last night after work I had been stress crying and I fell asleep, I woke up in the middle of the night hearing “Marie” being whispered in my ear. I was so scared I couldn’t move. I prayed & eventually fell back asleep. This makes me nervous because it has never happened to me before. Has this ever happened to anyone? If it has what happened afterwards? What should I do? No negativity please

Telepathy? Did you recognize voice or get a feeling about it

In my dream I referenced as an example, I was literally being screamed at. But not maliciously or with negativity. Just with INTENSE urgency.

Wake up calls can be like that. Especially when they’re literal. Lmao.

I’ve experienced this several times, however it never made me too bothered. the whisper is usually oddly loud and comes from one side. but I don’t remember the last time I woke up like this, maybe 2 years ago

I used to hear my name whispered pretty often when I was a kid. it also came from one side like if someone was standing there. but I was never scared. and that’s weird, because I feel uneasy writing this, but back then I just stared into nothing and assumed they don’t want anything else since they went quiet

I don’t really believe in spirits, so I go by what I was taught in uni - your mind is messing with you. those are audial hallucinations, that can be a result of stress, lack of sleep, certain substances or just random glitches in your brain. and kids hear them much more often than adults, because their brain is still developing
