I started this thread to talk about music that is used to relax and or influence your dreams.

I believe that my dreams are very much affected by any sounds around me, being a musical person I enjoy a very well mastered piece of music. I listen to music when I am about to go to sleep, sometimes I fall asleep with the music playing. After a while I find I am dreaming, the music that is playing changes the mood and feel of the dream as it progresses. I have found that listening to a classical theme induces a very calm and relaxed atmosphere. While on the other hand, death metal is also one of my favorite genres, this brings on an intense, highly memorable dream.

Also, the sounds of rain, forest life, beaches are a very good way to relax and influence your dreams.

Having played around with this trick, I have found that all different types or music can change your dreams in ways normally not achievable (except when Lucid).

Does anyone else use this trick?
