The other night I woke up from a vivid dream. In it, a song was playing in the background... a song that I wrote. Only thing is, it was nothing that I had ever written.

When I woke up, the chorus and the subject matter of the song was still fresh in my head, and I am currently working on finishing the fucker up. Very weird.

Maybe it's the Vicotin.

Ahhhhhh inspiration........she comes in many forms.

Yeah, but in the dream it wasn't my song. It was kind of a cheesy bombastic U2/Simple Minds thing, and I still remember the chorus.

yes, that happened to me a few years ago. and it was a hit in the dream! all i remember now is waking up with the song in my head, but forgetting it within seconds. and then it came back to me in the shower, but gone in another minute. oh well...

one time i was reading a really great book in my dream. when i woke up i realized that i wrote that great book. sadly i forgot everything about it.

Name it "Scrambled Eggs."

Its cool when stuff like this happens. It makes you feel tapped into something beyond temporal.

It could be your best work yet!

This happenned to me with a poem once. I would wake up nearly every night around 3am to write down the verses I dreamed up. It took nearly a week of intermittent sleep. Except for some logical corrections and clarifications it pretty much remained intact as I dreamed it to be. A fairly lengthy poem by my standards.

This still happens on occasion, but usually very short verses or single couplets, sometimes free verse, or conceptual free form..

No, but I dis come up with the finishing tocuh for the second scnee of a movie I'm writing. Three down...however many to go.

this has happened to me several times. I have a dream where I am playing a killer riff, or my band is playing a great song.... I wake up and I forget it....

Doesn't the story go that Keith Richards came up with the Satisfaction riff in his sleep, woke up(barely), played it into a tape recorder and went right back to sleep?

I have had this recurring dream lately, where I go back to visit my college and I remember that when I used to go there, there was an absolutely amazing album I had really wanted to buy but had somehow forgotten about. The problem is, I can't remember the name of the album or what it sounds like. I then go to some nonexistent record store on campus and search and search in a vain attempt at finding it.

The funny thing is that every time I have this dream I come a little closer to figuring out what it is.

We have a title for the next Hop on Pop album!!!

yeah, that's happened twice to me.

And then another time during an afternoon nap.

I wish it would happen more often.

i did that once, but it wasn't a very good song.

I wrote the best parts of an A+ paper on Wrestlemania in my sleep once. That was a damn fine night.

I've got you all beat. I wrote a song called "I Feel Indifferent About The Ramones" in my sleep. These lyrics were going through my head. Then i woke up, at 2am, and wrote the whole song down. less than 10 hours later, Joey Ramone died.

very weird.

so YOU'RE the bastard that killed him!!

Usually songs are based on strong emotions, i.e. I love you, I hate you, etc. So, I think it's pretty awesome to write a song about just being indifferent to something.

Once in my sleep I made up a fake Oasis song. Fake Oasis vocals, fake Oasis lyrics, and fake, full Oasis instrumentation because in my dream, I was convinced that anyone could make songs that sounded just like them.

It was very, very vivid. I had the drum parts worked out and everything which was especially wierd because I hardly ever paid attention to drums at the time. This was like 6 or 7 years ago.
