songs about meditation/lucid dreaming

[sheogorath]

Post your favorite song(s) that you intemperate as being about these 2 topics or about other metaphysics. SOAD- Innervision -about meditation, maybe the Pineal Gland Also pretty much half of the SOAD songs have a metaphysics theme to them.

Dreams of Swedenborg. Covers quite a few things from lucid dreaming to astral projection, although not very deep. Supposedly based off the writings of some guy I've only heard referred to as Swedenborg. Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. This one, I think, is much deeper into lucid dreaming. Although more often than not, people interpret it as a love song or even a suicide song.

I love songs about this sort of thing. BRACE FOR IMPACT!! Evanescence - Imaginary - Song about a girl who wants to stay in her dream world forever because she hates the real world. The lyrics are amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odatDWByonw Epica - Unleashed - One of my favourite songs, so powerful. About how, after death, achieving ultimate power with no morale. Even the whole album - Design Your Universe - focuses on the power of the mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNGzltK_tlc Jakalope - Bad Dream - Song that describes what the fuck's going on in a bad dream, pretty straight forward. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjZ8QYtCM0I Jakalope - Come On - Beautiful song, I'm pretty sure it's about inviting other people into your dreams or something. I reccomend the entire album - It Dreams - as it's meant to give the dream feeling from the first song to the last. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3R8Yge_Y50 I've got heaps of songs that make you FEEL like you're in a dream world, but they aren't related to dreams at all. If you want them, I'll send you the list

thanks for your replies, the songs were very interesting. I also would kind of like trance inducing songs similar to this one, but I cant stand this guy's voice in most songs. I dont know what it is, but it is the same thing I hate about creed and metalica's singers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SSUQxGjZZ4

My bandwidth is slow, so I'll have to listen to that later. <.< Hmm, trance songs. I find Lustmord very interesting while I'm writing, it provides excellent background music, and it's slow and such, but it's rumoured to induce nightmares through binural sounds. I'm actually trying to find something that does the opposite, giving you good dreams, rather than fucked up, horrifying ones. I would recommend.... Colourpulse (Does ambient music, I only have two songs, though. I guess they could be like Pink Floyd but without the lyrics? God is An Astronaut - All is Violent, All is Bright is an amazing album - They do spacey songs, ones that go well with movies like Titan A.E and 2001: Space Oddysey. There's also a song called Reflections of Suspension by Steve Roach. It goes for 17 minutes, and many people have thought of many different beautiful things while listening too it.

[MementoMori]

I absolutely love meditating to this and it works to usher me into some very vivid Lucids because i concentrate on the voice in the background. MemtoMori - This or the Apocalypse

Many of their songs are lovely. What other stuff do you listen too in relation to this thread? I'm also going to download the Ink soundtrack after hearing that song, and watch the movie.

Aphex Twin - Rhubarb I love this song so much. You have no idea well, maybe you do. And yeah, songs with sort of the same basis like that are any songs from Boards of Canada's Geogaddi album.

VNV Nation, Absurd Minds, Mind.In.A.Box, De/vision, Aphex Twin, Icon of Coil, Seabound, Deathstars, Neuroticfish, Assemblage 23, Regina Skeptor, Garbage, The Dresden Dolls, and many others. i'm sure that you would love Mind.In.A.Box or Seabound if you like VNV Nation I love this song so much. You have no idea well, maybe you do. And yeah, songs with sort of the same basis like that are any songs from Boards of Canada's Geogaddi album. you ever listened to Stone in Focus? that song just gives you a sense of divinity.
