* An inversion of this concept appears in ''[[Animorphs]]'', where characters communicating mentally will pause frequently if they are out of breath, as if panting between words. Presumably this is simply because we're used to pausing if attempting to speak when out of breath, and the characters never trained themselves out of the habit for thought-speak.
* In ''[[Journey to the West]]'', or at least Authur Waley's Monkey (Which is a translation that cuts stuff out): Blue Lotus was scheduled to die old but she killed herself. When this was noticed Yama, king of death, it was decided that since the mistake was noticed so late that Blue Lotus's body is not in a proper state to house a soul. However, the emperor's sister, Jade Bud, was scheduled to die really soon. So Yama has Jade Bud killed and Blue Lotus put in Jade Bud's body. While the people around Jade Bud (actually Blue Lotus) think she is talking crazy after a fall, Blue Lotus's husband recognize's his wife's voice but doesn't recognize her body. So while this trope might be in play, it's also possible that Jade Bud and Blue Lotus had the same voice the entire time.
