Music to my ears
on: November 09, 2005, 01:38:29 PM
The first thing i hear in the morning is music, it can pop, opra, or classical piano music, this usually happens just before i have fully opend my eyes. The music sound very reall almost like from a CD or a radio. Do you have a similar experience , if so what kind of music is it.

I usually get a cd ready the night before, so that all I have to do the next morning to help me wake up is fumble for my remote somewhere on my bed and press play. Its usually Mozart. But if I know I'm gonna have trouble waking up (which is most of the time... thanks to this forum... heehee) then it'll be something like Prokofiev or Shostakovich. Otherwise I just sleep through whatever it is I'm meant to be doing at the time.
I dont play an instrument, I play the piano.

Are you talking about dream-music Zheer?

I have dream music from time to time. Sometimes during a nights sleep, sometimes during a little nap or snooze-dream, sometimes in that hazy area between being awake and asleep.

Mine sounds more real than music ever could be in reality. Sound blended with euphoria, something that could only exist in the dream-world. It's pretty intense. I usually hear music in whatever style I'm listening to at the time. When I was playing rock, it was rock music, the drums were usually the focus, they were wild. Jazz pops up from time to time, once I got some weird circus music. Nowadays it's mostly orchestral.

The past few I've become aware that I could control the music, which is neat, but when I try and control too much the music stops obeying, becomes uninteresting, then I wake up...

I've heard it.  I once got up to shut off the stereo, but it wasn't on.  It was all in my mind.

I have that nearly every night. Last night I was listening to Prok's 2 PC what was neat was I began to improvise and arrange the PC differently. It was truly phenomenal. For whatever reason though I can never remember what I hear the next morning or as soon as I wake up.
