First off, like to say hey to everyone since this is my first post (been lurking for a little bit), so *wave*.
Anywise, I have heard in the past of musicians using dreams to enhance their creativity, the one that comes to mind foremost is Aphex Twin, who's album Selected Ambient Works Volume 2 was said to be composed from the sounds he heard in lucid dreams, then later replicated as best he could into that album. I found that quite fascinating, so I decided to try some experiments in my own lucid dreams with music (though i have no musical background and play no instruments). So the next time i found myself lucid in my room, which seems to be where i start out lucid 50% of the time, i popped on to my computer and loading up itunes, double clicked on a song and let it play. The song that played was nothing that I had ever heard before in waking life (at least as far as i could remember at the time); my brain was able to create an entire composition on the spot, with guitars, drums and bass. While it didn't sound brilliant, it was certainly a decent piece of music that, if played by a real band, would be quite respectable. In this case it sounded like grunge music, though I have tried a few other times and gotten things like trance. Amazing that our mind has this potential! Like to hear about your own thoughts and experiences on music in dreams.
