Crazy?????

I had something happen a few nights ago, that I just can't shake off or explain as being 'nothing'. I had just went to bed, and not even close to being asleep, I was lying in bed.. enjoying the quiet time to think.. thinking of all the things that I needed to get done for the holidays.. Like most women do, I was making a mental list of things that HAD to be done. I was lying on my side, with my head half buried in my pillow when I heard someone, or something, whisper VERY LOUD in my left ear (that was buried in the pillow) they whispered my name so loud that it actually made my ear tingle and I could even feel the warmth of their breath on my ear. The voice sounded so urgent and so loud that it startled me (to say the least!) My first thought was to get up and check my children or look for something that could be wrong. I got up and checked everything from the children, the doors, the stove.. everything! I couldn't find anything wrong so I went back to bed. I know what they say about people who hear voices, and I was close to thinking that might be the only explanation that I had. I know that many people (if not all) have heard whispers just as they are drifting off to sleep. those are often very lite and distant.. this was NOTHING like that! This was unlike anything I've ever experienced before! Still, I dismissed it as stress or a panic attack.. and never mentioned it to anyone. Thinking, the last thing that my family needed to hear was that I've lost my mind! lol! Two nights later, I am sitting in my living room reading my email in the wee hours of the morning, like I do often, since it's the only quiet time in my house. When I can actually understand what I'm reading without music blaring from my teenager's room! (I have 3! lol!) And my husband walks through on his way to check the kids, and I watch him walk over and check the door, as he made his way to the kitchen and back through again! It is so unlike him to get up and walk through, He is a very sound sleeper and once he is in bed, he stays! I asked him if he was OK, and he assured me that everything was fine as he made his way back to bed... The next day I commented on how odd it was to see him up and wandering around at 3 am. I asked him what he was looking for, and he told me that he was sound asleep and heard someone LOUDLY whisper his name.. TWICE! He explained how loud the voice was and how it sounded urgent and how he felt that, maybe, he needed to get up and check everything (just like I had done!) The oddest thing is... the voice called my husband by his FIRST name! No one has ever called him by his first name, he has always went by his middle name.. ALWAYS! In fact, not many people even know his first name! lol! Just as I had dismissed my experience as being stress or perhaps being on the brink of "crazy".. He had the same thing happen too! So if I am crazy, does that make him crazy too? I have wrecked my brain trying to find a reasonable explanation.. and I come up with NOTHING. And still days later, I feel like something needed my attention and when I obviously missed whatever it was.. My husband was called upon, by the same voice with the same urgency. What or WHO was this? WHAT was so urgent? And most importantly, WHY?? Both (my husband and I) can't be crazy at the same time! Can we? :)
