Thread: Music in a Lucid Dream

I did this intentionally in a dream a couple months ago.

Spoiler for the dream:

The dream started with a false awakening. I wandered over to the bathroom, it was very dark. I had a feeling I was in a dream when I opened my eyes and still couldn’t see. I started to float above the ground and I floated right on through a window to get outside. It was really dark, I couldn’t see anything. I waited patiently. Suddenly everything became bright and I was standing in the driveway outside my house. I looked around and the world was what I would describe as surreal high definition. I could see every blade of grass and every leaf on the trees above me swaying in the breeze. I remembered that I wanted to summon dreamer. I looked around and said, “Oh, so you’re behind that tree EH DREAMER?” I went behind the tree and there was nobody there. I looked around again and said, “Oh, I get it, you’re behind me! NICE TRY< HA”. I spun around and she wasn’t there either. I wasn’t about to give up yet, I said, “Ohhh you’re down the street walking towards me”. I flew up above the trees and saw her, walking down the sidewalk.

I flew over and landed beside her. I was surprised at how much she looked like dreamer. Almost identical, except that her hair was blonde instead of purple. I made a big grin and said, “Dreamer!!!” She walked over and gave me a hug, and then immediately turned around to leave. I said, “Wait, don’t leave yet”. I made music start playing from the heavens. “Let’s dance first”. I grabbed her hand and she assumed the proper waltz positioning and I was not about to have some super formal dance. I grabbed her by the waist and spun her, lifted her up into the air and she laughed a little. I twirled her around and dipped her and we did all kinds of crazy moves with my awesome dance skills.

After a while it started to get dark. I sat down on an upward slanted driveway and looked up at her. I asked her, “Did I scare you?” She turned away, nodded, and said, “Yes, the sister thing…” I interrupted her, “I didn’t mean it like that, it wasn’t even the whole truth”.
“What do you feel then?” She asked.
I responded, “I like you, I like you a lot, and I’m really glad that we met ”.
After a short pause, she responded, “Thank you for telling me the truth”.
We walked down the sidewalk together. It was really dark now and the only light came from the houses around us. We got to my driveway and she said to me, “Let’s sit down and I’ll take you with me”. I assumed she meant out of the dream. We sat down together and looked up at the night sky. The music was still playing. I made fireworks start to go off. Streaks of red, blue, green, silver, and gold exploded across the sky. Little kids ran down the street, laughing while they chased each other with sparklers.

I was lucid, but it wasn't a song I've ever heard before outside of the dream. Oh! and once I started the music playing, it kept playing for the entire duration of the dream.
Usually when songs start playing in my dreams they are spontaneous though. I can only seem to remember hearing songs from waking life in dreams when I'm non lucid.

Something that I've noticed lately is that whenever I'm falling asleep, my dreams will almost always start with a song playing in the background. I have experimented with it on a couple of separate occasions now. I wait until I'm starting to see a dream and some song will almost always start playing, then I will wake myself up and wait until another one starts. I repeated that several times to see if it was a new song each time and it was. They're completely original songs as well, I think it's really neat.
I have been thinking about writing some of them down, because I can remember them really well for some reason (something that's unusual for me, because I always have a really hard time remembering the songs that I play or hear in dreams once I wake up).
