The voices are audio hallucinations.
If you are just dozing off (particularly when you are stressed and/or very very tired), your brain moves into a dream state, and you hear voices - usually people you know shouting your name.

It's a bit like Sleep Paralysis. Look it up on Google, it is quite common. It was a nice story about your Grandad though :)
