composing music in my dreams

lol, i was talking about something similar on the "non-ILX dreams" thread not too long ago. i often hear pop music in my dreams, music that seems super-great to me. when i wake up, if i have a dream song running through my head, i'll hurriedly sing it into my phone so that i don't forget it. in the process, a lot of the detail and harmony gets lost, but i can usually at least get the general gist down. they're not often so remarkable as they seemed while i was asleep, are sometimes just mutated versions of existing songs, but every once in a while, i get something really good. about half the songs i've contributed to my "band" have come from dreams.

this happened twice to me this week. first time the song was so great and i was building it up and adding breakdowns and cool little bits and it was just so, so great I was so proud and then I woke up.

next time, I dreamt I was breaking into a hotel to steal samples so I could make a remix of French Montana's Unforgettable.

i too have made music and experienced magic guitar playing many times over the years, and almost never have i retained any of it upon waking. except once! i had a brilliant riff going. woke up and immediately picked up my real and not magic guitar and started banging it out. turns out it was the opening notes of the crystals' "and then he kissed me." which made me laugh so hard. i popped a tape in the four-track and made a song with it anyway.

For some reason when I do this it's always progressive trance
