Why do i keep hearing my name being yelled when I'm about to go to sleep?

a dead family member

Either a Spirit/Entity, or a Higher Power.

My whole life, rarely every now and again, I will hear my name being called in my head in my mothers voice.

Quite odd that my experiences are similar to yours, even down to the voice of my mother.

I feel it is a sign.

Edit:

Oh, and my mother is alive and kicking.

And Krishna is just being a douche.

Don't listen to him.

A possibility it may be something not exactly nice, but doubtful.

I am thinking otherwise.

You may be under stress from something

I had something like this a while ago, where every time I closed my eyes I could hear people whispering my name over and over...

Turns out getting rid of stress works

Hope it helps

If ur mother is dead, she is suffering in Hell and need u to pray for her.

If not, than it is just and idiot ghost trying to scare u, get rid of him by chanting On Namo Shivaya Namah.

That has happened to me before, just ignore it. If you don't whoever it is will keep bothering you. It's a belief in my culture that it is a spirit, and if you give attention to it you will be opening that door.

this is just creepy

i wouldnt be able to sleep if someone was yelling out my name while i was trying to sleep

It's your imagination
