Hi, this is the first community forum I've ever signed up for. I find this place very interesting. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard music in there dreams, and if so, I'd like to hear your account of it.
My favorite dreams are the ones where I am dreaming of music, and I've had many of them. I notice I have two types of these dreams. The first is when there are no visuals, its just the music. The second is when I'm actually coherent and can see around me, I have an instrument (usually a guitar).
When I hear just the music it can get really grand in scale, like a huge symphony and the volume doesn't really get loud but gets 'intense'. I can feel the music coming out of me and I can sort of move the flow of the music by nudging it into different directions with my feelings/thoughts. Sometimes when I'm 'playing' with a simple melody I can hear lots of accompaniments that I couldn't even conceive of in the 'waking world'.
I've never figured out how to induce these states, very rarely does it happen when I fall asleep while actually listening to music. I'd like to know if anyone else has had these experiences.
