Lucid song-writing experiment
There has been much discussion about writing songs or composing music in a lucid dream. The question is not weather its possible. I think we can all agree that in a lucid dream, writing a song is possible like flying to the moon is possible. The better question, i think, is if it's a good way to write music or if our bodies are just so doped up on melatonin(and whatever else is goign through your body at night) that we think its a good song. Now, I know there is no way to measure how good a song is. That will have to based on personal perspective of the one writing the song. And if a recording can be made, it'd be a plus if everyone could listen.
I believe, from personal experience, that lucid dreaming is, an ideal way to write music. I was wondering if any other song-writer/lucid dreamers would use thier next lucid dream to compose something, and first thing when you wake up, write it down, and if possible, record it.
I have a way to record it on my computer, so that is what I will do. It is the first thing I will do next LD. I do work all week, so I might not get a chance to do it for a week.
lucid music and songwriting experiment
Last night I had one more lucid music dream. This time I decided to follow through and try to capture the music next time. It's always music that is totally original. By that I mean I've never heard it before. But it is always conveyed to me in the guise of some tangible artist. Last night it was REM. In the past it has been Tom Petty . Another time it was George Harrison. It is always music of the flavor of that particular artist yet it is music that is totally new and previously unheard. I have finally gotten a little tape recorder that I am going to go to sleep with at my side. I will program myself to transfer the music of my lucid dream onto tape. I am excited about the possibilities. I am an amatteur musician and I know how to play rhythm guitar and drums. Up to this point I've been totally lazy about this phenomena. Now I'm getting serious. Here's my intention: I'll hum the song into the tape recorder while I am still lucid. Will let you know how the experiment goes.
By the way, last night as I went to sleep I said to myself that I'm gonna have some lucid music tonight - and it happened that easy. Intention seems to be a huge part of it.

Re: Lucid song-writing experiment
That is one of my goals. However, even if I hear and remember it, I won't be able to compose it in real life.
Also, I can hear nice music while I am falling asleep through HS, so don't always necessarily need to go fully LD.
