Hello /x/. My dad, usually a very quiet and sturdy man, recently admitted to my mom that last night he couldn’t sleep. He was tossing and turning in the sheets, when suddenly he heard his bedroom door open and what he described to be an “old lady’s voice” say his name. I didn’t get any details of what happened after that, my dad didn’t tell me personally (because I’m sure that would be embarrassing to him, and we’re not all that close) but my mom has told me about three secrets they’ve sworn to keep between each other, and this was one of them. This means she must have taken him seriously, and she’s been with him for over 25 years, surely she knows if he’d being genuine or not, right? Anyway, that’s besides the point. I fully believe my dad’s claim, so the question is: what caused this? At first I thought perhaps he was just dreaming that he was in bed and heard that in a dream. I asked my mom about this, but she says my dad never has (or maybe he just can’t remember) his dreams. I’m spooked. We’re in a brand new, huge house, built last year, so there were no previous owners. What do you think, /x/? What caused this?

Sleep paralysis. I'm ot going to shot on real experiences, but his lack of ability to fall asleep is the telling sign. He did fall asleep but stayed on an higher state of consciousness. Basically he was awake and asleep at the same time. This can produce paralysis and hallucinations.

Visual and auditory hallucinations aren't uncommon in sleep deprivation if he's been having trouble sleeping for a while. Or he could have been experiencing a kind of sleep paralysis. Also, just about everyone experiences a hallucination of some sort at some point in their life with no known cause or further psychosis. There's really no explanation for that but it does happen so unless your electrical outlets start bleeding I'd chalk it up to a weird experience.

What they said, and also people sometimes get a little visitation at some point in their life to make them reconsider what they know, or how they are living.
