Music in your dreams?
Do your dreams ever feature music in any way?
I sometimes have music in my dreams, but it's always songs that don't exist; I guess my brain composes its own music at night or something.
In a recent dream, there was some kind of symphonic music in the background and I was singing over it. In reality I have an unpleasant singing voice and no vocal training, but in the dream I sounded pretty good.
I've had that happen, yet whenever I try to play it out, it never has that surreal quality...
frequently
I do, but since my dreams are so nonsensical it's rarely a coherent version. For examples, I once dreamed that I ate the bassline to Fool's Gold by The Stone Roses, and another time I imagined a DJ set was a football match. I kept thinking the music was good but it was defending really poorly, which was dragging it back.
Oh, and occasionally I dream of music that isn't real and wake up wishing it was. I dreamed that I composed a beautiful breakbeat album once, and I used to dream quite regularly of a mysterious single of Papua New Guinea by The FSOL that I dug up in a record shop, only to awake and find it wasn't real.
Yeah this happens to me all the time, I don't know whether I'm actually composing the music or my mind is telling me i'm hearing good music. What was weirder is when I had sleep paralysis and was basically conscious with auditory hallucinations of hard trance. Weird as.
all the time but i forget it all so quickly i cant imagine composing it
also seeing how the most random crazy shit makes sense in dreams i bet most of the music is actually shit 
YES!
I dream from time to time FULL LENGTH tracks that are so great. I'm almost always vividly dreaming at this point so I think to myself "This song is so awesome when I wake up I will remember this, steal the idea from my brain, and write it down." Most times I forget to wake myself up and end up forgetting the track. Although some songs I have written down from my dreams.
usually happens right before i fall asleep and am too tired to get up and do anything about it.
just took a nap about 4 hours ago and it happened.
right before i fell asleep, sounded like spacey ambient breakbeat tune with fifths. kinda like in the original Parasite Eve.
had a dream too where this girl was singing a song that had the kind of tone of Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us
Not really, but I usually go to sleep listening to my iPod with headphones on and generally I fall asleep within 30 or 45 minutes. But very often, I'm awaken by a song playing and I think "holy crap, what is this sick track playing?" and I immediately check which track it is. I have a shitload of tracks, sets, and comps I haven't listened to yet and this and I've discovered some gems in my collection this way
It's been several years since I've remembered a dream, but I can't recall ever dreaming about music. My dreams were always so abstract it was hard to make any sense of them.

I have definitely had dreams with amazing music in them, but it is by no means a frequent occurance with me. I am a lot more likely to have a dream I am back in school and failing tests then a dream featuring a lush soundtrack

I can remember hearing Ti�sto's Sweet Misery few years ago and Push's Universal Nation recently. As long as there is some sounds in dreams, it's not so unbelieavable to hear music in there too.
Yes, I sometimes get music in my dreams and the next day I find and play it

Never thought about that, actually...
But now that you mention it, I don't recall ever hearing music in my dreams.

Can't say this have ever really happened to me...maybe the odd background music but as far as i can remember nope.
I have a coule of times and the songs i created while dreaming were the shite! however when i wakeup I had forgot how they went
My dreams feature music sometimes, the problem is that even when i remember a dream when i'm awake i tend to completely forget about it very quickly, my brain decides it's not important and chucks it. And that reminds my of something i've been thinking about doing but haven't done yet: writing the dreams down asap everytime i can remember them. Well, maybe not everytime, there are dreams i'd rather forget.
Anyway, luckily i had a music dream just yesterday which i remember quite well:
I was on the counter-strike:source map de_nuke (yes, i play css and sometimes i dream that i'm actually in these places and they don't even feel virtual). I was with another person and i walked up into the CT spawn area of this map and there i found a silver colored special version of the otherwise black H&K auto-sniper rifle, it had a strange curved scope and the trigger, every time it was pulled released a note in the series that make up the recurring theme in the score of Alien (Jerry Goldsmith), i demonstrated this for the other person several times, thus hearing that melody a few times. Something about these notes and the way i experienced them also had a very "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind"-feel, which isn't surprising because i saw the film just a few days ago. After this i walked back the way i came and suddenly i was somewhere else, inside a room that looked more like a small space confined by some sort of curtains. There were my parets, or one of them, listening to (and perhaps also watching) the Porcupine Tree "Arriving Somewhere" live dvd that i had left in the player, i remember the song "Buying New Soul".
Not too often but yes, I sometimes hear music in my dreams. Often it's probably made up by my brain, I just wish I was able to reproduce it then.
Most frequently I am supposed to dj somewhere (sometimes it's a club, sometimes really weird places), but eventually I find out that I can't because a) I am missing an important piece of my gear, b) I can't find the next record I want to play, c) I can't beatmatch.
After experiencing this utter failure, I usually wake up.
