Does anyone else hear music in their dreams?

[WildThing121675]

I have wanted to ask this for a long time... do other people hear music in their dreams like a certain song or something. Case in point, I heard in a dream today as I slept 'Cavity Search' by Weird Al.

It was weird. All the sudden, the song started playing in my dream as I was walking down the road of some city I'd never seen before. It was WEIRD. And this is not the first time this has happened to me.

I've heard other songs too in my dreams. It's weird. Really. Was wondering if anyone else has like a soundtrack to their dreams?

Yes, it's happened to me on a handful of occasions before. Sometimes it's a tune I recognise and can name easily, sometimes not. But like everything else dreamt, I forget it soon after waking.

Strangely enough, some of the artists I listen to claim they get their melodies and sounds from their dreams. I'm inclined to believe that's possible, but reproducing those sounds would be a mammoth task.

While I've had dreams that feature music -- most recently, Bird York's "In The Deep" -- I have also had an occasional dream where the music I hear is something I've never heard before, and it's a fully developed piece with guitars, drums, keyboards, and vocals, as if my brain's pieced together these things from some kind of mind-band!

I don't know if it counts, but I've had the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys riff on my dream in my dream

I have music quite often. It's usually alot like movie scores and it can run the gamut from classical orchestras to symphonic metal and just about anything imaginable in between.

Hmmm..... I haven't dreamed music. But oddly enough i've dreamed pain. I dreamed I got stung by a bee and it hurt! D:

Hey! That's so cool. I want to have a dream like that.

I hear music in my dreams all the time, and I wake up with them in my head. Of course I'm a professional musician, so often they're the music I'm teaching to the choir. Sometimes they're other pieces, from pop, or rock to classical. When I was in high school, my mom would make me turn off the stereo so I could go to sleep. I was able to keep a whole symphony in my head and play it as I fell asleep. I memorized and could hear the entire London Symphony by Haydn. I can still do things like that.

Yeah, I have a good sense of touch in my dreams. It can feel cold or hot, I can put my hand on something in my dream and I can actually feel it. I also dreamed that I was dropping a deuce in my pants and I swear I thought I had actually shit when I woke up... but I didn't, luckily.

out of the few dreams I remember, I recall having music before. Though the time in particular that I remember...it was a radio playing music in the dream..but hey, it's sorta the same thing. ^^;

I sometimes hear music in my dreams. More often than not it's a familiar song. Strange Correlation: When there's music in my dreams, I normally end up falling and jolt awake, literally feeling the impact.

OMG!!!!! I felt like i was falling last night. I was like omg???!!? Why am I falling?
Then my whole body twitched and I 'think' I woke up.

 

[MaximusPrime]

Exactly!!! So freaky. Sometimes I wake up to the point that my heart is racing and I can't fall back asleep for awhile. Kind of a cool rush. Unless you have to be up early the next day... Then it's not so cool.

Hehe!

That's unique, not had that happen to me. Sounds like it'd be a blast though.

 

[Sugaree]

For a while I would hear a Fleetwood Mac song in my dreams. I would wake up and I could still here it playing in my head and I'd wonder why that song. Then it occurred to me that the song I was hearing is actually called Dreams. Odd. Sometimes it still happens but not as often as it did about 3 years ago.

My alarm clock is set to randomly play songs from my i tunes. There have been instances where I've dreamt a song, woken up at like 2am and then later when my alarm clock goes off that same song is playing. Weird!

 

[LunaCat]

I do not know if music plays in my dreams. I am not sure I would notice it though, as I hear music all the time in my head when I am awake.

I am sure I have had music feature in my dreams before though, as I have dreamed of being in concert. (I was in various bands in highschool.)

That. Its very annoying when your trying to go asleep, but your brain keeps playing random tunes...

I have dreamt music in my sleep before. Sometimes its stuff I don't recognize and could never reproduce. Which is wierd because I've never had much musical talent. I can't play any instrument aside from the kazoo. Mostly though, my dreams are just realistic. I can use the bathroom in my dream, feel pain, smell things... Its sometimes a bad thing because nightmares can be so realistic I cant tell they're fake.

I hear music in my dreams constantly. When I hear music, the music generally dramatically stirs emotion. I've heard some sad music to go along with, say, someone dying in my dream and when I wake up I'd be on the verge of tears when the music is stuck in my head.

The most recent time I've heard music in my dreams though was during a nightmare I had. It was pretty horrifying actually... won't get into the context. But it did involve someone I knew getting murdered, and my dream was like a detective-show. And there was piano playing in a very low key (like a distorted bass clef). I woke up with it stuck in my head at 3AM going "WTF!!!"

Little bit of anxiety attack... but I fell back asleep quickly

While I usually don't have dreams featuring music, I can compose the most amazing melodies in my head in the stage between being conscious and starting to drift into sleep. At least they seem that way at the time. But you're right, reproducing those tunes would be damn near impossible.
