I Hear Dead Music.

So ive always wondered what it was, for awhile ( not as often now but still sometimes ) ill be in bed, just laying there, and before falling asleep i can begin to actually hear music as if it was in my ear, sometimes its songs i havent heard for a long time but i can still hear lyrics good and stuff until i focus on it and try to listen then it kind of fades off into silence within a second or two, but then itll go back and usually be a different song, do you think this may be some sort of hypnotic imagery thing? Just been wondering....

GAHH! My post disappeared!!!

*ahem*

Welcome to Dream Views.

The sounds you hear are like Hypnogogic Imagry (might be spelled wrong due to me being dozier than usual today) except you're hearing things instead of seeing imagry as you drift to sleep.

Vex is right, it's hypnogogic imagery, often people hear and see strange things when they are about to fall asleep or just woken up from sleep.

Hello,

I wouldn't call it imagery since it isn't... well imagery. It's a hypnagogic sensation, HS or hypnagogic sounds as described in the Acronym list in the tutorial section.

"Imagery" isn't necessarily visual.

Imagery - n The work of the imagination or fancy; false ideas; imaginary phantasms.

Maybe you can use the music as a sort of signpost to know when you are close to sleep. This could help with your WILD meidtaitons in the future, so keep it up.

I get this alot too.

WOW that is why i love this forum, so many responses so fast :D but yeah sadlly it hasnt been happening as much but still sometimes does, next time it does ill try to use it to WILD :D

i get those all the time

didn't know what it was until i found this forum a couple days ago
