Music + Dreaming?

[FozzieBear]

Hey, i'm new to lucid dreaming and was just wondering whether or not listening to music while you fall asleep affects the dream. Thanks

The thing about anything related to dreaming is that it's different for everyone. Some people might not even be able to fall asleep with music playing, while others might fall asleep and then hear it in their dreams and trigger lucidity in that way. So, try it out for yourself and see what happens! to DV!

For me, ambient noise, TV's, alarm clocks, music, people yacking... it all can bleed into my dreams. I've never tried using external sound as an induction technique, but I'm sure it's not uncommon.

I listen to either the Jazz or Classical station when I sleep and though it doesn't help my lucidity per say, it can make my dreams more... interesting.

Same for me Vegan. I prefer some kind of instrumental music. If there's vocal parts I concentrate too much on the meaning of the lyrics and it's harder to fall asleep. My situatuion is the same; it's never triggered lucidity but it does affect events in normal dreams. However, a news report on the radio did trigger lucidity for me once.

Music occasionally seeps into my dreams and affects them. It probably affects them in more ways than I realize. I prefer classical music to sleep to. I listen to a radio station on low at night. And classical music station DJs aren't all loud and obnoxious like regular station DJs. The ones on the station I listen to talk in calm smooth voices that don't jar me awake when they do their announcing.

Hi and welcome. I don't use to listen to music while falling asleep. i think the brain have to shut down to go to sleep, shut down all senses and it would be easier if not have some music plaing.
