About two or so weeks ago I was in my room all by myself and I decided to have a quick sleep. I must of been sleeping for about an hour when I am convinced I heard a clear voive saying 'Fassa, wake up!' There was no-one who could have been in my room to say that, and no-one was in the rooms either side of me. This is freaking me out so much.
Any explanations?

Also, few people I know would address me as Fassa, especially any of my friends.

Our brains tell us what we hear, as well as a lot of other things. There are lots of possibilities. None make you any more vulnerable, or insane than the rest of us. People with imaginations could answer that it was a spirit from the past, it was a practical joke from a mischivous freind, you are a schitophrenic and therefore insane. All maybe possible however improbable. Never worry about your brain, and as a 47 year old psychology student whatever solutions are given none are threatening nor should they be considered frightening. "Fassa, wake up!" does not sound life threatening to you, or anyone else. I suggest that as you say you went for a "quick sleep", after an hour you heard the message clearly "Fassa, wake up!" and there was no one else to say it. Answer you said it. This is my immagination working now, have you considered that your mind having dozed, slept for an hour was unable to activate the wake up part of you, and so it told you you heard the "wake up Fassa." Very helpful. You woke up. What ever happened there will be a logical answer to it. I have experienced many things in my life which sceince deny even exist let alone the answers that logic suggests. Our brains are God's (which ever one) gift to us - can you imagine where we would be without them ?
Schitzophrenia and psychosis should be far more contreversial that a supossedly intelligent society admits. All conformists and fashion followers have unusual experiences they shun in groups. Each of us are unique thankfully, if we respected our differences more in our groups we would find survival so much easier. Reality has evolved in our arogant species through time by our democracy. The more people experience it the more real it is. In the medieval days the voice would have been called God's. Unfortunately the majority do not believe in God anymore, they believe in sceince which has no answer. The God's we meet nowerdays tend to run self funding practices, so you are safe even if you were a psychotic mass murderer ( I do not think you are) they wouldn't want to spend any of their money having you certified. The chair you are sitting on is just as much interpreted by your mind for you to use as the voice telling you to wake up was. The only difference is that everyone else in your house also sits on your chair, no one else reportedly heard your voice.
That is philosophy, I can assure you that you are a sane human being with just the same answers and problems as all the other unique people around. You sound a very normal and nice person. Please do not freak.

This could either have been a dream or a spirit - dreams can be so real it is difficult to tell what is real and what was the dream. Your dreamt someone called your name, but were wakening up at the same time, just the same as dreaming and your leg moves or you speak in your sleep. If it was a spirit, you must be sure to say "who is it" the next time it happens. Sometimes we also think that we are awake from a sleep, when in fact we have come out of a dream, but are still asleep.

There is a simple explanation. You were woken by something - could be anything - from rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. This is a very deep form of sleep, and it's when you dream. In the few seconds between you coming out of REM and regaining consciousness completely, your senses are completely scrambled - you'll see, hear and feel things from your dream in an incredibly real fashion, and the signals you are trying to process from your eyes and ears will seem distorted and surreal. It happens all the time. There is nothing to worry about and nothing to upset yourself over.

Possibly you heard something outside that you mind interpreted as Fassa, wake up. A lot of things that happen in dreams can be indistinguishable from waking life.
I had a sound machine in college that I would leave on the drown the street noise and I swear that one morning it was talking to me in a demonic voice (it was on the babbling brook). When I told a friend with the same machine about it, she said the same thing had happened to her. There is something about some noises that make you brain think certain things. That or our white noise machines were possessed.

I get the most horrific vivid dreams... especially if I sleep on the sofa facing the back of it. I've put it down to my brain being starved of blood and my body tries desperately to wake me up.
I dreamed once that I woke up and the house was on fire... I tried running out of the house but fell over.. I actually felt myself hit the floor and the heat on my face.
I subconsciously knew I was dreaming and I could feel that my arms and the back of my neck were numb... It took ages to wake myself up, I felt like I was trapped and couldn't move.
Very scary, and just one of many!
I've also had someone grab my leg in the night. When I woke up, there was a figure stanging in my bed (like a ghost) He shhhh'ed me with finger to lips. I didn't want to blink, but when I did, he was gone... I s*#t myself! (Stress I think)

Don't worry, it's not uncommon. This was a dream, or a bit of one. Don't read too much into it.
Most dreams are what you remember of your brain doing its filing. Something you had been doing or thinking was being filed away and associated with something that happened to you previously. Somewhere in there is a memory of that voice telling you to wake up. Having found it in your waking up file, you woke up - probably with a bit of a start.

As you'd only decided to have a quick nap, your brain (subconscious) had logged this, and was probably waking you up in your dream - which can be very vivid - before you went into deep sleep. Dreams are often our brain's way of telling us, or reminding us of, something.

Being over tired and stressed out over something can bring that on. I used to have three way conversations with my wife and what I was starting to dream years ago.You might need to get something to help you get some better sleep.You might also have sleep apnea or sleep disturbance of some sort.Have someone you trust watch you sleep sometime.

A friend of mine was working in a deep trench years ago when a voice said very loudly in his head MOVE. He did so-very quickly. It was a good job he did because the whole trench collapsed and he would have been crushed and suffocated.
So perhaps it was your guardian angel /God wanting you awake for some reason.
