Does music ever influence your dreams? I have been using something called "idozer" and I know that when I focus on it I fall asleep faster. It hasn't effected my dreams much though. However, I remember when I was little I had left the tv on and on the particular show there was a part were there was a whistle for whatever reason, I don't remember haha but I remember for some reason I had a nightmare from it.
Has anybody else been effected by outside noises/music/anything you can hear?
When I was young and on the road with my parents..
I always liked listening to the radio while trying to sleep..I can remember having HI actually..It was a lovely feeling..
But I don't think it influenced my dreams much though.
Yea I'm pretty sure that outside influences affect the dream. For example once when I was younger I was sleeping soundly when the fire alarm went off. I had a very vivid dream, that seriously took days to unfold, in the dream world that is, the end of the dream ended with me in prison with a riot starting. The alarm became the prison alarm, it was a little disturbing, as when I woke up the alarm sounded like it continued, and I had to question for a moment if I was in prison for real lol...
I don't know if the entire dream was built around the alarm (I thought dreams only lasted a few seconds, I could be wrong on this) or if the alarm was incorporated into the currently 'playing' dream.
i used to wake up to my alarm clock playing the radio, and one day i had the volume a little too quiet. i was dreaming in video game graphics, and i was observing a family of SIMS.. there was a baby sitting on the floor by a cdplayer, and the baby put something in, and what i heard was actually the music on the radio! it was really cool actually. lol. i dont really get how it worked, because the baby put in the cd RIGHT BEFORE the music started to play, so how did it know that my radio was about to be on>>?? that always perplexed me... i also thought that maybe i was already hearing it, but there was nothing in my dream world that would be playin music, so i didnt hear it in my dream... idk. it was cool though
External stimuli does definitely impact on your dream world. You can actually buy induction devices that chime so in your dream when you hear the noise you do a reality check a voilą. Steven Laberge (the dream guru) actually sells a lucid dream induction face mask. When it detects you are in REM sleep it starts glowing and the light will come through in your dream and remind you to do a reality check.
Laberge has the most research (I think) into LD and they have contacted people in their dream worlds and got them to perform tests etc. and communicate back to them with their eyes (because whatever way you look while dreaming, your eyes will correspond in reality and look the same way). Trippy shit huh, communicating from you dream world.
Good luck.
