Thread: Read this if you play music while sleeping.

i'll try this tonight

What i wonder is if u are listening to music while you are sleeping can you hear the music in the dream? If so you can train yourself to become lucid when you hear music in your dream, like how you train yourself to spot flashing lights with the Novadreamer.

i went to sleep listening to a Korn song on repeat....I woke up the next day and the song sounded somehow different

You probably heard the song so much that night it started messing with your mind.

If I hear speech in a dream it incorporates itself into the dream, coming from a DC's mouth. This morning my alarm went off and I had an FA about my alarm going off. Then when I pressed it off in my dream it carried on and I awoke to hear it going off still. Often, my dreams end with the sudden apearance of my Dad saying "Get up!" since he wakes me up in the mornings if I sleep in. He usually appears in my dream and says something like "Good morning!", then I awake. This begs the question, can't you use a voice sample of yourself saying "I'm Lucid Dreaming!"? ... although, at leat, in my case, it would just wake me up instead of induce an LD.

If you are dreaming and there is a noise in real life then it will incorparate into your dream. This can happen in numerous ways like for example if your alarm is going off in your dream you might hear a doorbell or your phone ringing. To answer your question yes you could do that and could be very effective but what would you tape it on? I have a dictator voice recorder but that would take ages.

Well if the song does play in the dream then this could be a great trigger for lucidity. Just train yourself to become lucid when you hear music in your dream.

I am going to sleep with music on tonight even if it takes me for ever to get to sleep and i want to use headphones. The problem is they won't stay in my ears, they keep falling out.

Anyone else have or had this problem?

That sounds awesome! Years ago, I made a playlist on my iPod (I know, I'm an iTool) that somehow reminded me of dreams. I am interested if I play this when I go to sleep if it will help my lucid dream percent.

Dude, get Sleep Headphones - the best new sleep aid | SleepPhones.

I'm trying to train myself to get lucid with music, but if the music is loud enough to hear in the dream, then I can't sleep because it's too loud.
