I think this was a bit freaky, so I thought I could write it here and see if someone knows if this was just a dream or something else:

Some years ago, it was morning and I was laying in my bed and I was just about to wake up, but I couldn't open my eyes. Instead I started hearing a lot of voices from people and it felt like there were a crowd of people surrounding me. I heard them all talking and suddenly I heard a mans voice really near my ear, like someone was sitting beside me and whispering into my ear. I no longer remember what he was saying, but he said something over and over again and suddenly I heard this shriek, scream from a woman, really loud! And in that moment I snapped my eyes opened. I was laying in my bed and no one was in my room. I was freaked out and I just laid there looking around before I got out of bed.
I dont know if I was dreaming or what it was that just happened, and I didnt recognize the voices but it felt very real!

Another weird thing that has happened was that I woke up one morning and I remembered the dream I had had very vividly and it felt like I "had to do what I had done in the dream"! I remember exactly from my dream how I stood up from the bed, walked downstairs and looked at certain things on my way down and how I put my hand onto the refridgerator! So I walked excactly how I had done in my dream and when I put my hand onto the refridgerator, this whole feeling just dissapeared and I stood there wondering what the hell I was really doing

Maybe nothing major to write about, but these things kinda freaked me out

With regards to the first experience, it sounds like you have gone through Hypnagogic/Hypnapompic Hallucinations. Funny that, that's the second time I'm referring someone to that today. I've gone through many a hypnagogic (just before falling asleep) hallucinations. Can get rather freaky especially with someone talking right next to your ear - but I assure you (unless you also get vivid visual hallucinations) there is no one there, at least not when I looked.

As for the second experience, don't know.

i think you were having a vivid dream . i have been having some of them lately as well. but in my case i know that it is the pain medication side effect causing the strange dreams . hopefully when the medication is no longer needed they will stop.

Do we stop dreaming when we wake up? I wonder if anyone has ever responded to an alarm yet went to work in a sleepwalking state?

Tenbinza, the hand on the fridge experience sounds like you may have still been in a partially asleep, dream state and upon touching the fridge thought 'what the hell' and reached full wakedness/physical awareness, yet wondered if you had dreamt it.

Don't we all wake up sometimes with a fragment of a dream seeming so vivid that we wonder if it actually happened?

The greatest 'uncertainty principle' is within each of us. Did I perceive 'X' or did I imagine it?

What Ai_Guardian said ! I've had it myself and it was well freaky. I had it when i had just fallen asleep, then mysteriously awoke after 2 minutes or so and then laid myself to sleep again.

Was like the dream audio began a bit too soon because i could gibberish from voices and then a loud "Hi Hi" right beside my ear like you also said.

It was a little spooky, but somehow i didnt think i was going insane, i just somehow could feel it was sounds from a dream and off i went to dreamyland.

actually it might have been sleep paralisys(sry about the spelling), my father had it once, he said that he was trying to wake up by pressing the alarm clock but a monkey kept smacking his hand away until i finally heard him and woke him up

I've experienced sleep paralysis as well, many times. It very well could have been that. Once when I experienced it, I had fallen asleep watching tv but I could hear the tv and everything being said on it but I was unable to move. After a few seconds though I could move and everything turned out fine. Still, it was quite a freaky experience as it always is.

I've a couple of times experienced that. These incidents have brought about some hilarious moments where I have woken up still dream talking and it all takes about 20 secs or so for me to snap out of it. It makes sense to me at the time but afterwards it doesn't.

I've experienced something like that too, it was kinda like the opposit of a lucid dream... instead of controlling your dream I couldn't control my reall life.
somewhere around midnight one day I just walked downstairs and started to do things, I couldn't control my body. It was like a dream.. but the next day when i woke up my father asked me why i went downstairs and did all that stuff.... It was really weird. I wonder what happened with me
I didnt remember much of it, tho. it was really vague..
This happend with a reaccuring dream, I had that dream like every week...well it was more like a nightmare
which brings me to another question, why do people have reoccuring dreams?

Maybe because there's a lot of repitition in everyone's lives? I've sometimes woken from a dream and thought that I had just that dream, maybe even years previously. Was it the same dream or deja vu in dreams?

Recurring dreams can also represent a preoccupation of our minds with certain fears or desires. Think of all the fears and desires we have whilst awake. There's plenty of food for our nocturnal considerations.

I imagine a day when we can wake up to review our dreams on a screen...our own personal tv channel devoted to the mysteries of our own minds, for a change. It might even knock the gaming industry off its roundabout.

Yeah that might be, but my nightmares were really weird and didn't make any sense
ooh well, I think its just emotions and problems you're dream are trying to deal with, I read that somewhere O_o
