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.

:D

I've had that happen, yet whenever I try to play it out, it never has that surreal quality...

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 makes sense in dreams i bet most of the music is actually :)

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 load 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.

It's only available online, but there's a products called "Dream Boost" that is like Tylenol PM but also enhances your dreaming and makes it more vivid. I don't know how it does this, but when I took it I dreamt the out of my sleep for days!

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
