This morning I was sound asleep around 7:30 a.m. in the middle of a dream when I heard my husband say my name as if he were standing in the bedroom doorway to ask me a question. "Sharon?" Not loud, just in his normal conversational voice, and instantly I woke up. He was already up and in the other room and he had not called my name. I asked if he had just been wishing I'd wake up and he said no. He was not in the dream itself so he didn't call me there either. So who called my name as if to wake me up? And why?

This has happened many other times through the years even before I met him with somebody else's voice. Sometimes it's conversational as if somebody says my name to ask a question. Sometimes it's urgent and insistent, like "Sharon! Wake up!"

And there's never something urgent going on when I do wake up. Nobody sick, nobody died, nobody in trouble. It's a mystery.

I did have an epiphany shortly after I woke up about something bothering me before I went to bed. So maybe that was it. But I can't say that about every other time.
