   Has anyone ever experienced "hearing" radio stations in what might be   
   called pre-OOBE state?  I do once in a great while, but usually do not   
   remember the details sufficiently to verify if I heard a true station of   
   if it was just a creation of my imagination.  Even if these types of   
   experiences are pure imagination, they are still pretty involved.  To   
   hear music in a song you recognize, or one you do not know, to hear   
   commercials talking about businesses in cities as if it is the real   
   thing-  Add in the radio station fading in and out, a certain level of   
   static or noise you might actually hear if you were listening to a far   
   off station, and these are very interesting experiences.   
      
   This one started after I had been asleep for a couple of hours. I woke   
   up, and could not get back to sleep- I turned to my back, and tried to   
   rest.  I caught myself in the early stages of starting to snore, so I   
   went to my right side. I still did not fall asleep. Then I realized I   
   was hearing music that from a radio- but this was in my right ear, like   
   I had an ear phone in my right ear listening to the radio.  As the song   
   ended, the announcer mentioned something about Japanese Saxophone- which   
   seemed odd at the time, but I was just trying to listen at that point,   
   so I let it go.  Then the station started to play commercials.  I   
   listened to hear anything that would let me know what I was listening   
   to. I heard an ad for a realtor that mentioned Andersonville, Ohio as   
   being the location of their main office.  Then the station faded, and I   
   went into a more standard OOBE- nothing special really. I just have been   
   trying to do more healing on my right arm, so I spent it trying to send   
   energy through my arm.   
      
   Back to the "radio" experience, I figured that Andersonville must be a   
   fairly common name for a city but I did not know of any in general, and   
   knew I had not heard of one in Ohio.  Checking Mapquest, I found that   
   there is in fact an Andersonville, Ohio.   
      
   The next check was to see what came up for Japanese Saxophone, which   
   seemed like a long shot to find anything that might match that. If this   
   were an imagined experience, or a dream, I could see these two words   
   being put together. Later when I though of this, I thought that this   
   seemed to much like a dream thing to have a Japanese Saxophone   
   mentioned. I had never thought of a saxophone in the context of being   
   Japanese in any way. I had never heard of any Japanese sax players, and   
   had no idea that it would be a popular instrument in Japan. Checking   
   Google,  I found that there are well known Japanese saxophone players.   
   But there is also a music group called "The Japanese Saxophone Band"   
   which plays a variety of music types, including classical, rock, jazz,   
   and techno. I remember thinking as the music was playing that it sounded   
   like jazz. Is there a station in the area that plays this group?  I do nto   
   know.   
      
   I wish I had heard more that I could remember. This is not much of a   
   correlation to prove anything, but it is intriguing. What I remember at   
   least does not prove that I did not really hear this station in my head.   
   Of course, if I had not found an Andersonville in Ohio I might not have   
   written about it here either.
