Thread: Music and Lucid Dreaming

I love dreamy, flowing albums quite a bit - Fatal Nostalgia happens to be a favorite of mine.

I do sometimes suddenly feel empowered by music to just go out there and try something, whether it be drawing or dreaming.

Completely off topic, but I think I just noticed your avatar and burst out laughing.

Anyways, I'll have to check them out.

Completely agree, music has always been a real trigger for me; usually for anything I am passionate about, however, it's often certain music genres that get me going, such as chill step for lucid dreaming, rock for rock climbing (go figure ) ect.

I got a link to them right here: Fatal Nostalgia. I love listening to Halcyon Nostalgia while laying down - it's really ambient and truly envokes the dream feeling.

Any song in particular?

None in particular - I just lay back and absorb the atmosphere.

Just curious, you have a thing for Star Wars?

A little bit - the helmet just happens to be a very convenient way to hide my real face to people.

Ya, you seem completely normal. Like the kind of guy that wouldn't need to go see someone for professional help or anything. *Whistles*

Port Blue (Adam Young) - Seagulls (Homework Edit) - YouTube
Everything Port Blue (Adam Young Owl City) gives me huge inspiration about Lucid dreaming. Especialy Seagulls, i always dream of flying after i've listened to this song

It's worth checking out Approaching Nirvana. In my opinion, their music (progressive house kind of thing I think?), mostly their older stuff, is really motivating and it captures that exciting powerful lucid dream-y feeling. It's also good for writing or playing Minecraft or just doing anything creative, in my opinion.

I really like all of their songs, but I'll just link to two of my many favorites, hehe:
Approaching Nirvana - No Strings Attached (Original Mix) - YouTube
Approaching Nirvana - Worth a Thousand Pictures - YouTube

Thanks for all the wonderful replies! I'll have to go check them all out sometime! Keep it coming.

I love music for inspiration. I listen to up in the air and I can only imagine. The best is "Breath of Life", wow, that is something special!

I'm a musician and i composed some music inspired by dreams, as i had dreams inspired by music also.
In a recent lucid dream, to stabilize it, i began to sing one of my songs. I heard an orchestra following my music as the environment began to form planets, stars and i travelled through space. It was beautiful.

I sort of get things the other way round. I sometimes dream of music I've not heard before, or even get something original going in my head when in a very near sleep state. And I have a sort of recurring dream about 2 songs that I have tucked away somewhere on a memory stick or whatever is being used in the dream; you know, not just on a regular album disc, that I keep meaning to listen to or trying to cycle to while in the car. I'm very curious to explore this in a lucid sometime. But overall all this makes me want to find music in waking life similar to what I'm hearing at these times.

I'm a composer as well. A couple of weeks ago in a vivid non-lucid I dreamt I had created a song that I thought was brilliant but never would have thought of in waking life; I find it absolutely astonishing the things that your subconscious can come up with in dreams. I've yet to actually make the song itself IWL, but I still have the idea locked in my head.
I plan to attempt to compose music in lucid dreams as well. I think dreams have a lot of potential for making anything artistic or creative.

I get inspired by listening to classical music and I'm a musician too, I play the violin.
