Whenever i go to sleep, i start coming up with melodies in my mind. I can setup a whole loop of a song with drums and other instruments. The thing that sucks, i forget how they went the next day. I wish they made some kind of a instrument reading the melodies in your head.

I relate to this for some reason.

I hate it at work when I have a whole new original playing in my mind and it seems to drift into a fog. Often times, the best inspiration comes when you are farthest from your little setup, sadly.

Just have one of those portable recorders ready by the bed, and basically humm the melody or whistle it, so you remember it next day. It works wonders

Most of my good work comes out that way. I keep a score handy so I can get it down on paper, or if there's not enough time or I feel it fading away fast, then I'll use a bit of a shorthand that doesn't convey quite as much information but is usually good enough to make me remember what I had in my head earlier.

Like any other type of artist you should always have, at bare minimum, a pen[cil] and paper wherever you go. Or you can go the portable recorder route if you're into that... personally I don't believe that listening to myself humming would be sufficient to recreate the full array of sounds and rhythms I dreamt up.

music is just ingrained in every millimetre of my soul by now

Well, I have no knowledge of music. But I do figure out the mood and feel of the song...I know what kind of section a song I make should have..
