Music...

[Ghost ®]

I always go to sleep with music on... I'm not sure if I can attribute some of my dreams to music, but I do think music helps me sleep. Am I alone? The reason I ask is related to one dream. It was a pretty intense dream and I felt some pretty strong emotions in it (heck, so would you if you were a founding member of freedom fighters from your college trying to inspire hope into your fellow students as the Russians were closing in with tanks). In my dream, music kicked in as sort of a background song... When I woke up, the music playing was in exact timing and I felt all of the buzz from the dream. Is that quite a common thing? I'm new to this, sorry (the tech. stuff, not the dreaming). Tom

Nope, your not alone. I always go to sleep w/music. It helps me sleep, but by the time I enter a dream (REM state) the CD has ended so I never hear it in my dreams or wake up to the same song playing.

Tom I have listened to a CD player, mainly because *gilt* I sort-of fear a monster thingy, that appeared in my dreams, havent posted that yet, so, yeah. anyway, i find music soothes me down, gives me a reality check, it carries me to sleep and the CD has either ended, or my headphones have fallen out in my constant rolling to get comfortable anyways, if i get any dreams, i havent remembered any from the time the CD was on, all i know, is it can be any music, as long as you like it, you can listen to metal, rock, classic, dance, techno, hip-hop, jazz, doesnt matter, there is no difference in the way it can soothe you, anyway, events that happen in real life to your body generally will appear in your dreams, im not sure about this, but i think your nerves realise this, transmit the feeling to your brain, and the subconscious picks up on this, and tosses it into your dreams, this is probebly why you woke up to the correct part of music you heard in your dreams.

there isnt a night i dont go to bed either listening to some new age/tool/floyd or incubus. every night i get these dreams were people are talking, but thier singing the words to the song, my whole dream becomes some kinda music video, its cool.

That's happened to me a couple times before. But not too terribly often. I do find that it helps me recall the dream better, since it had it's own soundtrack. Sometimes I'll even think of a song, and then the same song will play in my dream that night. Then it's stuck in my head all the next day. Irritating.

I'll try this tonight..I'll keep the radio on instead of my TV.
