Songs & Dreams

[Rakkantekimusouka]

I think there was another post like this somewhere, but being unable to find it, I'm making another one. Anyway... Has anyone ever tried going to sleep with music on, like for instance, a favorite song or CD of songs? Once, I fell asleep listening to True to Your Heart by 98°, and my dream was basically me just asking questions that the song lyrics answered. It was really weird.

I've never fallen asleep with music on, but one time IRL a neighbor's dogs were barking and in my dream (not lucid) my friend was trying to scare people by barking like a dog. o_o

Yes, I do with headphones on. I actully have a CD called Dream Spiral, by Hilary Stagg. There is another Cd out there that is suppose to actually help induce dreaming but the title escaped me. But I have only used instumental music so far. I do have a lot of dreams pper night though.

I've had a similar experience in a non-lucid dream. In my dream, I met a few guys, and then they started playing this music. The music I heard was actually on the TV. My subconscious mind heard it and put it into the dream.

Ooh yes, I've done this many a time, try doing it to absolution by Muse, with the album centred arrounf the apocolypse, itr gives you some extreemly freeky dreams.

There is a very calming and relaxing Cd out there by Hilary Stagg. Called "Dream Spiral". Songs including Drifting toward a dream And Dream spiral.

Wow, that could be really useful, the only thind is, calm music seems to destroy my dream recall, god knows why. I really must get round to looking further into this.
