Thread: Has anyone like, got a song stuck in their head, from a dream?

I've heard and have played music in quite a few dreams but I never can remember the tune after I awaken. It's a shame too because I know I usually enjoy the songs at the time.

Hey there,

I have this all quite often. I'd wake up in I'd have a song in my head, and I would have no idea where it came from, because I haven't heard it in ages. So I can only surmise that it someone got triggered by an association in my dreams.

And it usually sticks with me for the better part of the morning.

Today, it's "Come Along With Me". I have no idea why I woke up with it this morning, but now, almost two hours later, its still haunting around in my head

I once awoke from a dream with the song the Rose of Tralee going on in my head.

gone forever by 3 days grace, with a people on the street collapsing and dying when i walked past them

Yup, that happens to a lot of people. The most annoying is when it's an original song and then you wake up and can't remember how it goes.

My most recent episode like this happened last week. I was actually playing the song in the dream and was fortunate enough to wake up right after. I picked up my guitar right away (which I keep next to my bed, just for such occasions ) and was able to pick most of it out, just like in the dream.

Unfortunately, it ended up sounding very much like a Greenday song - so I sorta gave up on it

Paul McCartney heard Yesterday in a dream and wrote it down as soon as he woke. To this day he claims it is his most perfect and complete piece of music.

Yes this happens a lot, where in my dreams I start singing of songs that I normally would not remember the lyrics to. Sometimes it would be old songs that I haven't heard of in ages and am dyings to hear again when I wake up. ><

At least once a week I end up with music in my dreams (non-lucid ones). Sometimes it's only one song, and sometimes it lasts throughout the whole dream with one song after another. Usually the songs are ones that I know. My musical tasts range from Enya to Nine Inch Nails, so I've got a lot to work with in my head - also, when I'm awake I can make a song play in my head, sounding just like it is playing on a radio. Vary rarely, I end up with a song in my dreams that I don't recognize, but I end up with it in my head after I wake up. I'm not sure if these are songs I'm composing in my sleep, or if they're just ones I don't remember right now. From everything I've been able to read in articles about this, dream music is a rather rare occurrance. Does anyone else know more?

Yes, I always get the music from the Glow level of Fallout stuck in my head (it plays a lot in my dreams and SP periods for some reason, it must be popular to my SC).

I've had music in my dreams too. Couple of times it has been some song that I've never heard before, but I remember that I really liked it. Unfortunately I forgot the melody after the dream finished.

I have this happen all the time. Normally only for music though. Although it has never been a song I have never heard. I have also woken up after dreaming about a film and wanting to watch that film.

Yes actually. It's funny, it wasn't a real song, but my mind just conjured it up right then and there, in the middle of the dream. The lyrics were as follows and nothing at all more: "Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico" on a steady beat...In real life I don't think it would sell many copies. It sounded wonderful at the time but I felt stupid when I woke...

Umbrella ella ella eh eh eh, I love that song so much I practically hear it in my dreams. Anyway...yeah actually while dreaming my subconscious played out a pretty hot R & B song that I still remember the hook too...I'm thinking about selling it to Ne-yo for 1 million dollars.

The full account is in my dream journal, but here goes with the explanation of the dream. I went to sleep with the specific question in my head of why I have music in my dreams most of the time. The answer I got was that music is swirling through the "airwaves" from many different sources nowadays. When we sleep, especially when we are working towards lucid dreaming, we can access these other sources - including the music in the air. Sometimes it is the simpler answer of it being a song that we've listened to a lot and it just gets stuck in our heads and goes into our dreams that way. If you ever go into a supermarket and after a few minutes you catch yourself humming or singing a song you haven't heard in a long time, listen closely to the in-store music. They keep it at a volume to where it doesn't intrude, but it just seeps into your brain. That is also how you end up having songs in dreams you haven't thought of in a long time. You probably heard them somewhere recently and didn't even realize it - or your brain picked them up while you slept. As for the unknown songs and bits of unknown ones, you could be either accessing new material or your brain is reassembling bits that you liked to make a new song. Just some thoughts on the idea!

I've had dreams of my own made music played in concerts, and on the radio......
I rap, yes im a rapper.
Once i had a dream of a song i am really displeased with, played in the halls at school, and people laughing at me.

As for getting a song in my head from a dream, i can't recall any made up music in dreams, besides when i've freestyled in dreams.

Prior to last week I have never had music in my dreams. I have been looking at getting a guitar lately and last week I had a type of dream I have never experienced before. I picked up a guitar and trust me I have little knowledge of the guitar or how to play one I just started to play it. It sound chords etc were just all really jumbled up and random and just made no sense whatsoever. It was like it sounded good and really bad at the same time it sounded really pleasant to my ears and then there was this woman's voice singing in a kind of humming tone, again these words were just random like house, bike or i dunno radiatior they didn't rhyme but somehow in my head they made sense

i woke up last year from a football related dream hearing the we will rock you song and the tune slowly faded away after awakening , like when you turn the volume down on an ipod

A few months ago, I had a lucid dream where I was on an island, and I suddenly felt like singing. Since no one can hear me singing in my dreams, I did. I wandered around singing "Feel" by Robbie Williams. (Did I spell his name right?) And for the rest of that day, I had that song completely stuck in my head.

Yeah, it's happened to me a few times. I dreamt of listening to Disturbed's Violence Fetish and had it stuck in my head all morning. There's been more than one occasion though, sometimes it's been a song I haven't heard in ages. You know that tune from that, "Time goes by so slowly" thing, whatever it's called, kind of medeivil sounding; like how much is the fish but not the same... well yeah I think a dream reminded me of that, well good tune.
