Sometimes when I'm lost in thought a sound, a voice or a piece of music that I heard recently is almost completely reproduced in my brain, like I'm actually hearing it again. It's a subconscious act, I don't think I've ever been able to will that sensation consciously, but once it happens I can sustain it for almost a minute or two (especially music).

I have a very "strong" internal monologue, talking to myself all day. I supposed there could be a connection.

Anybody else have similar experiences?



I used to have sleep paralysis a lot and during at least one episode I could hear, clear as day, a full orchestra playing in my head as if it was coming from somewhere in the house. And when I broke out of the sleep paralysis there was no sound at all.


Yes! I've also had similar experiences during episodes of sleep paralysis. Interesting.

When I'm awake it happens during periods of deep day-dreaming.
