Sobtanian

Good morning , I have a question.

You know how sometimes you wake up with a song stuck in your head? Usually it’ll be something you heard late the night before?

Well this morning I woke up with a book stuck in my head, meaning I woke up reciting sentences from what I was reading yesterday! (Mick Herron’s Spook Street FYI)

This has *never* happened to me before, so it made me wonder if it’s happened to other people.

Has it happened to you? Let me know!

@Sobtanian no books haven't happened to me (because I don't read things out in my head) but I'm pretty sure everything you can hear can get stuck there in ur head with personal experience on a lot of other things and I usually kicks them out by manually hooking a song up there

@joandaro haha nice! Replace them with a song. I like it.

So when you read, don’t you hear it in your head? I do.

I can’t imagine how it would work without hearing it 😱

@Sobtanian well uh I generally read very fast so the voice can't really follow up, sometimes I can hear a phrase or two but I'm two lines after before the voice actually finish a sentence so...

@Sobtanian I know what it's like because sometimes I do hear it when I'm reading English but generally in my mother tongue it can't follow up lol

@joandaro amazing! I’m not a fast reader so I listen to myself 😅

@Sobtanian wait, the sound in your head sounds like yourself reading? That's new to me...

@joandaro yes, it’s my voice reading to me. I’ve always been like this and can’t really imagine any other way.

Even as I type this, I’m reading it in my head to myself in my voice.

😅

@Sobtanian for me it's mostly a neutral voice and sometimes it sounds like the author or the character if I've got an idea on what they sound like. And yes it happens when typing lol

@Sobtanian Usually it's a game or movie.
