semi-submersible Writing songs in your sleep (62* d) RE: Writing songs in your sleep 09 Jun 09


No coherent music, but lyrics sometimes. Never remembered them long enough to record any. (Didn't try very hard.)

I used to literally dream up schemes and inventions occasionally, the most ingenious ideas since sliced bread - except when I woke up, all the ones I remembered turned out to be pretty dumb!

Thread drift alert.

In my teens, seeking to tap "the wisdom of the unconscious mind," I trained myself to remember dreams (by affirming at bedtime, "Tonight I will dream and I will remember my dreams.") After many weeks I found myself regularly recalling some. They were entertaining, but with an awkward side effect of confusion. I remembered news and conversations that never happened. I believed I'd come to an agreement with others about matters I'd never mentioned to them in real life. I thought people had died, who hadn't. So after a few months I stopped trying to remember my dreams, and over weeks the veil which usually separates waking and dream memory closed again.

End dream memory thread drift.
Return to dream music.
Thank you for this topic.
