Hi everyone,
Over the past 6 months i've been experiencing something quite unusual and rather amazing, I'm not sure quite how to catergorise it but I think the closest would be some for of lucid dreaming perhaps.
Basically what usually happens is, after a long period of sleeping of ususally 5-6 hours, I will wake up briefly and then drift into a wierd state of conciousness where I believe I am not dreaming or fully awake, but am perfectly aware and concious.
Now the strange thing is that during this time I have begun to experience beautiful music. Originally I would simply think about an existing song or composition and I could hear it back in amazing clarity, with every note and lyric being perfectly recreated. It was an incredibly pleasent and relaxing experience and would always awake after, often in total bewilderment.
Over the past couple of months I also have leaned that I can also create and manipulate completely original music in realtime. For example I can think to start off with a violin solo and build into a full orchestral piece. I can also change/morph the music to any genre, for example, classical to rock, rock to dance etc. It's amazing! The latest progression has been that I can create completely original vocals and lyrics to go with the music. The last experience I had, I was amazed at how everything rhymed perfectly and how the lyrics had such deep and emotional meaning.
What's most amazing to me about all this is that i've never played a musical instrument in my life and am not even what i'd call a 'musical person' and Im having trouble coming to terms with how exactly my brain is even capable of creating such vivid, intricate and moving music in realtime without a single fault. The only downside is, like some dreams, the music fades from memory quickly but the memory of the experience is very strong.
I have been thinking about these experiences a lot recently and am beginning to wonder if this strange phenomenom is limited to music. Im a 3d Environmental artist by profession and am planning to see if I can summon up imagery as well as music to inspire me in a recent project im undertaking. Currently when creating the music there is no imagery only darkness, its kind of like sitting and listening to your ipod with your eyes closed.
Im really curous as to whether I am the only one having this type of experience? or even if anyone can help explain what is going on?
Thanks!
Rob
