This happened to me in a lucid last night, but it could apply to non-lucids too. |

It's pretty common for dream songs to seem like compositions of your mind, but they almost always turn out to not be original. There have been lawsuits over music that people heard in their dreams, wrote down, and passed off as their own, but which turned out to have been note-for-note copies of other people's music. |

Didn't one of the classical composers like Mozart or Beethoven get all his music from his dreams? |
|
Note for note, eh? I'd have to wonder then if "I got it from a dream! srsly!" wasn't just a cover. You'd think that even if that were the case that somewhere between hearing it IRL, hearing it again in the dream, waking up and writing it down that at least some of it would be lost or altered in translation. |

I actually was in a book store last night. I borrowed a book. I recall opening it but I didn't really read it, It was more like I was absorbing what the book was about. There seemed to be more pictures than words telling the story. |

"Evil? Good? These are merely words. In the eyes of the universe neither of those exist. There are only three elements, that act as a base for all that you see around. There is Light. There is Dark. And there is the balance between those two. Good and Evil are concepts,used to deny oneself from serving the balance. By serving, you participate in the great creation."

Very good explaination Rare. It makes total sense to me. |

I would think that it would be a lot easier to remember songs and recreate them, than books you have read. I think the mind would have a much harder time putting thoughts into text, then into music, that you have probably heard before. |

I actually remember one time that I was sitting in my room (in a dream) reading a really thick book. Have you noticed that when you watch TV or movies in dreams that you can get sucked into them, or they become more than just a show? It was kind of like that. I started seeing the story as an observer, and a couple times I got distracted. I kept coming back to the book and the second or third time I lost my place. I was flipping through the pages for the longest time, but I couldn't find where I had left off. It was kind of funny though, because I would be looking at random pages and there would be random bits of scenes and ideas. At one point I got really disappointed at something that happened further on in the story and closed the book. |

You'd think the person would recognize it once they woke up and played it. Maybe if they only heard it once they'd forget about it tho, and think that they made it up. |

Good point. |

Music I hear in my dreams is so much more emotionally captivating than any music I hear in real life. I've been moved to dream-tears over dream-music! |

Hmm, I can't really recall much music from my dreams, offhand, but I have, in lucid dreams, read text from signs without trouble. It didn't make sense in context, but it was a meaningful sentence. That is, it wasn't something you'd expect to find on a sign, but it made perect sense. I even purposefully looked away and back several times, and the text never changed. Though I wasn't quite as lucid as I thought I was in the dream, seeing as I used the pen I always carry in my pocket to write the message on the sign down on the palm of my hand so that I could read it when I woke up. |

Text is usually just gibberish to me as well. Music, on the other hand, is generally awesome! As for the music not being original, i guess that would happen on most occasions. However, i'm able to compose music in my head (as in right now i can just make up a guitar part, or mess around with up to three melodies), it's something i like to do when i'm bored on the train to uni. The music i make becomes much more vivid when i'm half asleep and in dreams it's got a massive sound - but that music is created by my subconscious, and can be rather difficult to remember properly in the morning. |

I'm not surprised that you could do it, if you are able to compose music while you are awake too; or even just able to play music. I was surprised that I could do it, having no musical ability. |

Somehow I have usually no problem reading stuff in LDs and I even remember most of it afterwards! I have read many magazines, for example a review of a review of Radeon 9800 video card: the text was very clear, no warping or weird characters at all. The review was written in a non-professional style though. The newest example of reading in dreams I had a couple of nights ago. There was a sign on a building which said "Vi Enna Oy". I have never heard of such before but I was able to recall it. |

I guess some people can read better than others in dreams. You should incubate reading about something in particular, maybe something you know about, and see how that works and if it makes sense. Then you could progress to things that you think you should know, but can't remember, and see if you can get anything. Or incubate a problem or idea, let your SC work on it for a while, then read the solution in a dream. You could conjure up a book with the title of the subject you want to read about. You might really come up with a creative way to figure out things. |

Actually. Moon. Why do you think, you cant compose music? |

The reason why I believe music sounds so beautiful in dreams is because you feel enveloped by it, its all around you, you feel it. I get the same feeling as I used to when I would get high and listen. |

I have no trouble reading a book in my LD's. =] I wonder why you do. |

Goals:
Remember my dreams a week strait
Have more than 10 LD's in a month
Have 2 LD's on my futon instead of my bed
pretty sure it was the rolling stones on "satisfaction". i'll look it up right now |
|
I've found that text is at least complete gibberish, or at most somewhat coherent with extremely bad grammar and spelling mistakes. This is just for me personally. |
|
In NLD text is actually surprisingly legible for me. Not sure about LD's, I haven't tried yet |
|
music and color is much apart of the human being than text. think about it. people were painting and creating music long before written text. written text required us to think a little different, to take the abstract and make it mean something exact. |
