Beginner Question

Hey everyone so I meditate a lot because I’ve always loved and admired Buddhism and even consider myself a Buddhist or at least a refuge of Buddhism or even a Bodhisattva and if not then I’d love to be one one day and I don’t have a teacher or a ministry near by to go to. but im dealing with an issue now I started getting a voice in my head, its an internal dialogue. But even more so it’s like an inner perception or an inner awareness that is almost like a astral awareness or a second sight. There’s an image aspect of it, sometimes in my minds eye there will be graphic images that try to scare me. They sometimes have personalities of their own even and it’s like when I’m around other people I start to “hear their thoughts” I know it’s not really their thoughts but I’m wondering what’s really going on below the service? Like why do I create this mental dialog in my head that try’s to convince me it’s real and that it’s the other persons thoughts?! This is so hard for me to overcome and it takes away from my Buddhist practice because it makes me think that every thought I think I’m responsible for and it puts a lot of pressure on me to identify with my thoughts and makes it hard to ignore them. Thank you all 🙏
