Just joined =D

Hey everyone! I just registered last night.

I haven’t been sleeping well lately and originally my plan was to google ways to improve sleeping and staying asleep, but stumbled upon this site instead. I’m leaning towards a psychology major because things like these have always entertained my interest.

I'm really fascinated by the idea of controlling my dreams; like a lot of the people here can already do. I can remember only one time when I was younger being lucid, but it was a nightmare so I spent the whole time trying to wake myself up! If only I'd known :< lol

But anyway, I just started dream recall last night with success! I cant wait to get better at it and try lucidity.

I was wondering though, I often fall asleep to music, any idea how/if that would effect my dream state?

Any pointers or tips are happily welcomed. I do reality checks and I've heard about eating bananas, PB, cheese and apple juice so far. Anyway, that’s all, I just wanted to introduce myself and get acquainted :D

Welcome to DV :) I hope you enjoy your stay with us!

There shouldn't be much of a problem with sleeping with your music on. With my experience it doesn't really translate into anything during the dream.
I wouldn't have it too loud, just to be on the safe side.

Welcome to Dream Views! I also often times fall asleep with music on. What's interesting is the songs from my itunes playlist often pop up on radios, t.v.'s and whatnot in my dreams. Good Luck in achieving lucidity! I like your avatar, btw.

Welcome! I'm pretty sure music won't have much of an effect on your dreams or lucid dreams if you're not WILDing or something like that.

Ah, thanks everyone. :)

Although it is worth mentioning that you can train yourself to use music to make you dream about specific things.

Have a look at this video to see what I mean -

Whoa that was crazy. So, I was reading someones post the other day about WILDing to the batman begins soundtrack. Would that mean hes likely to dream about batman, bats, the movie, etc etc?

By the way, are you a smallville fan? lol because your avatar, not sure though lol.

Hi, And welcome. I'm new too, so my advice wont count for squat, (I'm yet to have a lucid dream) But If you listen to music while you sleep, you should RC every time you hear music.

Just sayin...

welcome

i hope you get quite good with dreaming :D
