I've had a few dreams in which I was playing beautiful music - once on the sax, which I do not play in real life - but, try as I might, I could never quite recall the music in the morning.

Once I had a dream in which my parents were dancing together, dressed in some kind of Central European peasant garb, to a fiddle tune that was in the air. I did recreate that tune in the morning, and was very pleased with it ... but I started to get this nagging feeling ... then, with some poking around, discovered that it was the Princess Reel, which I didn't play, but obviously had heard ....

One of my brothers at one point was in training to be a concert pianist - and he had a dream that he was on stage performing some Bach; he looked into the audience, and there was Bach himself sitting in the front row, frowning and shaking his head. My brother soon decided to take his music career in another direction.

Last night I dreamt I went into a folksy music store somewhere in the western US, and it turned out it was run by a denizen of another on-line music forum I follow, and several members of that forum came and went - mostly ignoring me, just as on the forum. There was some music in that dream, but I can't recall it now ....
