Music in my dreams

[Dafide]

Hi I’m David, I’m Spaniard/Swiss. I apologize for my poor English. I have never been good with foreign languages. I was looking for a way to improve my dream recall when I found this forum. This Lucid Dream thing seems cool but for the time being I just want to improve my DR. I started a Dream Journal a week ago and it is really helping me a lot remembering the storyline of my dreams but I still have troubles remembering the soundtrack. I love music and sometimes I wake up with lovely melodies I dreamed about but I only remember them for some seconds, then they fade out… that really pisses me off. I tried recording my voice when I wake up but it doesn’t work good, when I listen to the recording when I get up it discourage me, there’s no sign of the wonderful melodies I dreamed about, the violins, the guitars, the voices, a lot of instruments, some of them imaginary but that produce beautiful sounds….Just my crappy voice barking some flat melodies. The problem is that with the storyline it is enough to make a resume but with the soundtrack it is not, at least for me. Any ideas? Do you use to dream with music as well? Do you remember it?

Yeah I always hear some AMAZINGLY crazy beautiful track that sounds amazing. Then when I wake up, I barely remember it. It sucks. I think you have to have recording equipment RIGHT away when u wake up, and you hum the sounds you heard. It fades around 20 - 30 seconds after you wake.

I hear music in my dreams too and often wake up with the sound of it still floating around.Although it's music that I have already heard of, not beautiful melodies that my mind has made up unfortunately.

What I hear in my lucid dreams are my own compositions fully scored for orchestra or rock band. I consciously assign the melodic lines to different instruments and sections as the music plays. I am currently trying to learn perfect pitch in part just so I can better try to fix the dream music in my mind, and easily score it as soon as I wake up. I'm pretty sure that what I hear in my dream (full orchestral score or rock band) is what actual composers hear in their head as a matter of course when they compose.

Your English seems fine to me...

There's no doubt having absolute pitch would help. I watched a documentary a couple of days ago about a disease that make you mentally diminished but give you absolute pitch, I don't remember the name of the disease... If only I could catch it temporally to write a couple songs I think I need ear training as well FarSeeker, but those exercises are sooooo boring.
