Psychologically, hearing your name being called with no one around is a sort of auditory memory that is activated and replayed in your brain.
⠀
Auditory memory is one of your brain’s processes to take in information that you hear (sound, voice, audio), and store that information until the next time you recall it.
⠀
- People that can listen to a song, and figure out how to play it on a guitar without knowing the chords have an excellent auditory memory.
- Animals, such as parrots know how to say “hello!” and mimic different sounds and noises because of their strong auditory memory.
⠀
Your auditory memory can replay the sound of someone's voice saying hello, or calling your name in a way that's so vivid you actually think for a moment that they're there!
⠀
This strong level of auditory memory is most commonly experienced when you’re either falling asleep or right after you wake up in the morning.
⠀
This state between waking reality and the dream world is called the hypnogogic state, and its where your conscious and subconscious mind are meeting and interfacing.
