Thread: Reading music invented by your subconcious

1. Yes, I believe I have. A few weeks ago, in fact. At the time I thought it was real (in a LD actually), though I don't remember the words, I don't think that the song existed. Just 2 days ago I sang an actual song "sleighbells ring are you listnin?..."

2. No clue

3. Oh sure! But not for the average person. This person would probably would have to like dreams to even remember most dreams in the first place. So, great recall for sure! Not even I could remember a whole song from a dream. See above ^^. And it wasn't even that long!

Combine great recall with musical ability and a photographic memory and we've found our man!

I think most likely you just thought you were sight reading, and really what you were hearing was completely different. Or, the notes arranged themselves to fit the music you were hearing.

Its just like reading a book in a dream. You may be able to think up a pretty good story, but it wont already be writen in the book and stay written. The words will change as you ar reading it to make it make more sense (even though books dont make sense in dreams).

When you are asleep 10% in concious and 90% is subconcious. You have no logic, its just all weird thoughts. Sight reading in your dreams accuretly, wouldnt just appear and teach you. Its from your own thoughts in your conciousness when your awake. So what i am saying is, if you are an excellent sight reader, it will probs appear in your dreams that you are an excellent sight reader. If you have a dream about being an excellent sight reader, but you are rubbish. Its not accurate sight reading, your just dreaming that you can do it. Whether you no its accurate or not, you wont know. Unless your lucid. So you can explore it prooperly. But you will only know unless you have done it in your real awaking life. Your dream wont just come up with something accurate unless you have had some experience looking at it through your eyes in waking life. Then its like processed in your sub concoiusness. Thats why we dream about it.

Could be true.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying. I was lucid, and the notes appeared to be correct (unless my mind was fooling itself as bengron suggested ^^)

True, but like I said, I can sight read (albeit slowly). The information is there, so why couldn't the access time be sped up?

If you give me a sec I can give you an exact piece from a dream as I wrote it on staff paper upon waking. To be fair it is more of an ominous tone than a song. Meant for singing.

Awesome! I'd love to hear/see it.

Well the music is really just my interpretation, as it was really represented by this symbol:


But here's the real music:


It would repeat endlessly, though I'm not sure how you show that in a staff.
