Ah, hearing voices :-). Is there anything more creepy and weirder than that :-P.
I’m sure there are psychotic people in the world who claim to hear voices, but are really just insane in the membrane. I honestly don’t believe I’m one of those people :-P. But talking about voices in your head is a good way to get people to question your sanity, which can really spice up a conversation :-).
The types of experiences I have - I believe - are somewhat normal, just slightly more frequent and extreme. Everyone hears a tiny voice in their head they call a conscience. Everyone gets gut feelings. Everyone has dreams. When I talk about voices in my head, I’m talking about the same exact phenomenon - only more frequent, and more clear.
Lately I’ve been putting emphasis on paying attention to my dreams. I’ve been going to bed earlier (due to new work hours), and this has altered my dreaming experience. I’m having longer lucid dreams, with different feels to them. Nothing drastic… just a slightly different vibe.
The reason I’m talking about all this is because this morning, I had a weird experience :-). I don’t think I’ve ever had an experience quite like it in the past. It wasn’t mind blowing, but it did strike me as interesting and unique.
I went to bed with a lot of life-problems on my mind, trying to sort them all out. I tossed for about an hour and a half, just thinking about life. When I finally went to bed, I had some cool lucid dreams, that consisted of flying around, and teaching my dream characters how to alter their dreams. This is a common theme for my lucid dreams.
I woke up about 15 minutes before my alarm. I came back slowly on purpose, playing around with my mental state, like I normally do. I was fading in and out, and all of the sudden, a clear message started getting transmitted to me, out of the blue. It started to form a dream, but I was on a border-line state, so the dream didn’t take hold. The message repeated itself two or three times, and it felt like it was urgently trying to be sent to me before I woke up.
The message was basically that solutions arise from action. I have a tendency to think about things too much (gee, ya think?), and over-analyze things. Sometimes my thoughts paralyze me, and stop me from acting, because I don’t see any correct paths. So I don’t take any path. The message that repeated to me was basically: when there are no correct paths, just take action, and the correct path will reveal itself. Then you can hop over to that path. There’s no need to see the correct path before taking action.
Pretty basic lesson, which I’ve certainly learned and studied in the past. But it was interesting to receive it in a border-line state of mind. It felt like the message was coming from outside of myself, being urgently sent to me, and repeated on purpose. Just to ensure I would get it before waking up. I would like to think that there are “spirits” out there watching my back, and this definitely gives me that feel. Maybe some day I’ll be able to figure out the validity of the experience. Until that day arrives, it will have to be cataloged as: “Important message received from unknown source, by questionable means.”

This morning, I heard some voices giving me messages as well. But, it wasn’t very clear. It was something similar to what you were talking about, to take action. But, before I went to sleep, I was thinking about leaving my body. All I remember after that was having a hallucination.
I guess thats a little weird.

I forget the exact wording of this, but the idea was that eventually inaction makes the action for you. Example: If you’re unsure whether to go to the gym or to go go to a movie that’s playing in 20 minutes, and you deliberate for too long and miss the movie, then you just indirectly chose not to go to the movie. Doesn’t mean you have to go to the gym, but you certainly can’t see that particular showing anymore.
The quote actually explains it better, but I can’t find it.
I’ve had this experience in a sort of different light before. The “urgent message” certainly has happened though.

I was awoken by my little dog the other night, she whines when she’s thirsty or needs to go outside. It usually takes a while for the whining to wake me, though I’m not sure how long since I’m barely conscious at best.
The last time she woke me, I had what I think was an acronym resonating in my mind. It was either “T.C.F.” or “T.C.R.” or something like that. I was aware of it when I woke up, but didn’t really understand. I never thought it was something external, rather probably something subconscious, but it was definitely the first time I experienced something like that.
Maybe I was thinking “TFSU” directed at my dog

I’ve had similar things as well. Most of the time it’s a stream of thought that has nothing to do with what I’m currently thinking of, but it interjects loudly. The next thing I think is always: “I didn’t think that… or did I?”
The interjections seem much like a voice cutting in across my train of thought, but was it really another voice, or me? One thing is plain: it always affects me profoundly… for the time being.
Rarely will I actually hear voices, though. Mostly it’s (as your experience was) waking in the morning. Occasionally it’s when I’m getting dazey in the afternoons (melatonin spike!).
