Maybe it's happened to you: You're lying in bed happily drifting off to sleep when suddenly you're jolted awake by a startlingly loud noise that turns out to be just in your head. The experience can be scary, and doctors have given it the alarming-sounding name "exploding head syndrome."

Just last night I was awoken by a rapping on my door. Heard it plain as day. It was 3a. Obviously, no one was there. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

Actually some infants diagnosed as "autistic" have such excellent hearing and smeling powers that they find the world overwhelming and hear their own hearts and their own blood runing thru their ears.
