The "Hum"

There are times when I get home and it's not there and I almost feel as if I'm not home.

Most times when I hear it? I repeat in my mind "It's time to visit the plains".
For some reason I have very vivid dreams after falling asleep VERY quickly then.

I've never talked about this before to anyone.

Most hummers simply do not know that there are others like themselves. I read that some people are so desperate that the first time they learn others hear it too they burst in tears, in relief, some have a long journey behgind them, from doctor to doctor, from specilaist to specialist, and most if not all not believing them. Hummers still get often seen as people with psychic problems, tinnitus or some other health issues. My father hears it since years - I did not believe him, too. Until one month ago. And my mother - does not know what to think of it, she cannot hear it. But she now has two hummers in her family, not just one.

Myself, I hope that it goes away again. For some people, it is a thing of days only. For others, a thing of months, and then there are those for whom it lasts for years. Maybe I belong to the lucky ones.

You are glad that you can manage it sufficiently.
