hesedlove Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 I keep a dream-diary and have done so for many years. When I have a particularly vivid dream I write it down as soon as possible. If I wake up in the middle of a dream I try to write it down straight away not leaving it till morning when the details of it will almost certainly be lost forever. One night while sleeping I was also aware that I was dreaming. During the dream I heard some of the most beautiful choral singing I have ever heard. It was literally divine so that I didn't want it to end. While still dreaming I thought to myself: "I'll write this tremendously uplifting and inspirational music down when I wake up." Sadly, that was not to be. For when I awoke the next morning the only thing I could remember was the "feeling" of delight and fulfilment I got from the music - but not one note of the music remained in consciousness. It was a truly heavenly experience too such that I often wonder if I did actually visit heaven that night! Does anyone else keep a dream-diary? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan56 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 I've never written down what I dream, but have never heard music in my dreams.. I'm usually running for my life in my dreams, so its usually a feeling of delight to wake-up from that I believe that everything we can see and touch will be gone one day, but music is one thing that will transcend into the new world. Perhaps that's why music touches our souls, we knew it before we were born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songster Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 "Music is the language of the soul." Your dream sounds beautiful, and even if you couldn't remember the exact score the next day, if the harmonious vibrations of what you heard were soothing to your soul, just be thankful for the experience.

I too have had many "running away in a panic" dreams which can be pretty frightening but a great relief when you wake up at the moment of being caught! That's a heavenly expereince too. I've also had the strange experience of telling myself jokes during a dream (jokes I've never heard before) and then woke up laughing at the punch-line!! That can be a little embarresssing at 3-00am when the house is as quiet as a mouse! I have a vivid imagination. I keep notebooks by my bed so that should I wake up in the night with an inspirational idea, a line for a poem, words for a song, or a subject for a talk I'm giving somewhere I get out of bedd and write it down. It's good practise which I highly recommend. The brain is alert and inventive while we sleep. Some of the best material I've ever written was set down in the small hours by the light of the moon.
