I definitely get the thing with hearing someone call my name.
And one year, when I was particularly exhausted at midnight mass, I had the sensation of being separated from my own body, and heard choirs of angels singing above the organ music. Which was both alarming and kind of cool - if one must have hallucinations, I'm all in favour of seasonally appropriate ones!
Interestingly, after a few moments, I was able to consciously decide that I liked angelic choirs in my midnight mass, and consequently heard them above all the organ solos for the rest of the night. I have no idea what that was about or how I did it - I have a very good auditory imagination, and if I choose, I can 'hear' in my head specific voices singing specific songs, even if those people have not sung those songs in my hearing, but this definitely felt as though the input was external.
