Music induced lucid dreams

[MasterZodiac]

well this is an experiment for me more than anything but basically you just leave soft music on while you sleep and bam dreams/lucid dreams! so far it has worked for me. the past two nights, i left jack johnson playing in my room while i sleep and i got very weird dreams.Just try it.....

I've left music on before while I slept. Did work out so well, but that was before I started writing down my dreams, or even trying to lucid dream. lol I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I sleep with music(earphones) pretty much everynight and it doesn't do anything.I always wonder why i never dream about music. I was reading that we don't dream much about reading,writing,and arithmetic because they cultural latecomers, i wonder if that holds any truth with music as well.

@Nosound - Have you had lucid dreams with them in/on? Or did it not change anything? hehe Hmm, I sometimes wake up with random songs stuck in my head. Very odd. And I mean ones that I haven't heard in years. Haha!

[nosound]

I have only had a couple of lucid dreams but I don't recall sleeping while listening to music at those times.Actually while reading my dream journal, I have had two dreams where I heard music.But two days out of 365 is not a lot lol. I know what you mean about having a song stuck in your head upon waking,I have had that happen before, very amusing.

I have tried listening to music before while falling asleep, but besides keeping me up all night; it didn'ty do anything for me.

I have tried listening to music before while falling asleep, but besides keeping me up all night; it didn'ty do anything for me. Yeah, it did the same to me. I got to were I'd just listen to it till I got really drowsy, then shut it off and fall asleep. @Nosound - Yeah, I get a lot of random 80s stuff stuck in my head. Haha!

I fell asleep listening to Within Temptation one morning after a long day at work. It was an uncomfortable sleep, and I found myself screaming out the back of a flying milk truck singing (to the absolute top of my lungs) WT's song, Angels. Pretty cool.

Well, I've been trying it again. My initial assumption would be that the music would remind me of the real world and give me better awareness. However, all it did was continue to wake me up, and even became annoying. Shame I'll try again, though. This time with the almighty Lustmord playing in the background.

That's a good idea. I can't sleep with any music that has vocals, much melody, or any type of percussion (I listen too close and can't let go ). I do alright with soundscape type stuff. I don't think it's effected my dreams. I was thinking though; if you had a recording/ CD that you were familiar with you could affirm that when it gets to a certain part, you would realize you were dreaming. It would be good if it was a repeating part since we don't dream constantly. well this is an experiment for me more than anything but basically you just leave soft music on while you sleep and bam dreams/lucid dreams! so far it has worked for me. the past two nights, i left jack johnson playing in my room while i sleep and i got very weird dreams.Just try it.....

Lmao, I can imagine listening to Ludwig Van and then hearing YOU'RE IN A DREAM just come up out of nowhere, probably jumping me out of bed

My bro was playing music in his room once on speakers and I fell asleep again, the music got incorporated into my dream and I wondered where it was coming from, I looked to my left in the dream and saw a speaker, the odd thing was that the actual music was coming from my left around the same angle. It was quite a vivid dream but wasn't lucid. As said, I think if you are going to play music to get lucid then you should just put "You are dreaming" etc into a track as you will hear it inside of the dream.

I was actually planning on doing something like this tonight. I've got my MP3 player and have a little playlist for LDs (excluding the specific lucid MP3s) that consists of almost all music from the Labyrinth soundtrack. There are a lot of instrumentals. On the list is Into the Labyrinth, Sarah, Hallucination (HI, LOL!), As the World Falls Down (the only non-instrumental), Home at Last, and maybe The Goblin Battle. They're all very neat.

I've always wanted to go to Treno from Final Fantasy 9. I've tried to picture the feeling of the bricks against my fingertips, but I've never managed to dream of myself being there. I have wanted to play Assassin's Creed in a place like Treno, though, and I had a dream very recently where I was playing AC, so it can't be too far away What I might do is, to remind myself during REM, set a timer to go off with the alarm being the Treno theme from the FF9 OST. What do you guys use as your music radios? I'd prefer an add-on for iTunes if one is available.

I only fall asleep to music when I focus on a specific insturment. Could be drums, bass, guitar, etc., doesn't matter. If I don't focus on a specific insturment, it keeps me awake. Aside from listening to music to fall asleep, I have had really good music and lyrics playing in my dreams before. The music and lyrics were completely new, never heard of before. Sadly, the downside is that I can't remember lyrics or music. They were in bits and pieces when I woke up, which I can't remember them at all now since I never bothered writing them down.
