Thread Name: Writing songs in your sleep
Subject: RE: Writing songs in your sleep
Jeri (22 Mar 11 - 10:50 AM), if you meant to comment my post of 22 Mar 11 - 10:17 AM, you probably did not understand it. Psalm 127, verse 2, runs in the Basic English Translation:
It is of no use for you to get up early, and to go late to your rest, with the bread of sorrow for your food; for the Lord gives to his loved ones in sleep.
Some translators including "King James" believe that the Lord gives sleep instead of bread, but the above interpretation makes more sense to me.

Yes, my night- and daydreams are full of music. However, the truly creative phases of the night seem to be when we are not dreaming, but almost awake.
