Thank you everyone for your replies. In my talks with other people and reading, I have noticed a correlation with voice hearing and traumatic events as a child. I spent the last few years 2010 to present where I was subject to voice hearing (or really loud independent thoughts) as well as tactile hallucations. I am currently 48. I spent a lot of time asking the voices what they wanted and to come back when I was not working. I feel strongly that sometimes is was information buried in my subconscious coming to the surface but there was a few times that I don't know what was going on. I am not afraid of the voices or stuff...just try to sort out what is real and what is not as I interact with people.
