Hi,
I have been hearing voices for years. I haven't heard anyone experience it in the same exact way as me. Most people talk about their voices as talking "to them" or talking "about them now". My voices are other people talking about me but from other rooms or locations. Sometimes I can tell who it is. Other times I don't know. It always happens when I'm alone or very quiet.
So let me describe something and I'd love to hear someone else's take.
I had a job interview about a month ago. It was at 9am and lasted til 11:30. After the interview, I was really tired so I decided to take a nap. I haven't been sleeping well for a while so daytime naps are sometimes a must. Anyways, I had trouble sleeping because the voices started. They were talking about my interview. They were describing me. They said "He did a good job". They said "He seems very intelligent". They said "He is bilateral". I thought Bilateral? What are they talking about? I couldn't sleep. I googled bilateral on my phone. I found medical definitions but nothing that made sense. I gave up trying to sleep and had some lunch and haven't thought about it since. I ended up getting a email saying I didn't get the job. I moved on. So tonight, I decided to read up on hearing voices strategies to help with sleep. I browse the INTERVOICE website and stumble onto a comment with someone asking about "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind". I google it and stumble onto the show Westworld and that the finale is about the bicameral mind. I was amazed! I don't know how I knew that or heard that from my bed when I was trying to fall asleep...but it makes sense. At the interview, I answered very thoroughly and even argued points of both sides as I answered their questions.
I am just confused how I could know something without even knowing it myself at the time. I heard the voices from my bed describing me. I hear many voices talking about me. What does this mean?
