This topic is about dreams you have had where someone, or something, said something that was so amazing you remembered it when you awoke and still remember it today. I have awesome dreams nearly everynight. Many times there has been something said I thought was beyond cool! Last night I had such a dream.

I dreamt there was a party going on and the Muppet Band was playing. You remember them? Anyway, I was the drummer, Animal. We were playing a song and I was thrashing away and it was time for the sax solo. The sax player, the guy that had the big orange nose and the gold tooth turned around to me and said,

"You keep the bounce in the back baby! I'll bring in the meat!"

I kept the beat and he wailed on a groovy sax solo. Soooo cool!

Anyway, I was having another dream later where I was having a beer with a friend at our local drinking hole and I told him about my dream and what the sax player said. Isn't that neat! In a dream I told a friend about a dream I had and what was said that I thought was cool.

I woke up and wrote it down on my whiteboard in the bedroom. It is inscribed for posterity forever.

Any similar stories???

sometimes i have dreams wherein I write awesome songs.

then i wake up and can't remember how it went, so can't really play it.

i definitely wrote it though. it came from my [MOD EDIT] head.

Same here. A great one once was Johnny Cash singing a song I really enjoyed, but the song does not exist. How am I supposed to recall the words? Another time he and Roseanne sang a good one, my brain's lyrics again. I even had Kenny Rogers once do a good nonexistent song. I'm a Johnny Cash fan, but not a country music fan.

Sleep and sleepy moments, like when you're about to crash, or when you're up but dazed, and the mind is all soupy, that's when this stuff cooks.

I wonder about this. The brain relaxes and things arise. There's so much going on. Why, daily, do we fail to notice these perceptions or this awareness? Should dream thought be so utterly different from awake thought?

Interesting stuff anyway.

WNYC's Radio Lab does an aaaaaaaaaaawesome program in general.

One particularly good one is on some emerging research and theories of functions of sleep and dreams.

Reeeeally interesting.

I believe we can control our dreams at least to a certain extent. While I was in university and became stuck on how to continue a paper, I would often leave it and go to bed. While tumbling towards sleep I would keep telling myself to think about the paper and where I could go / how to continue with it. Many more times than not I would wake up with a very clear direction. The more I practiced this the easier it became.

I used to practice Alpha thinking. Wonderful stuff. Assign a task, go to your workshop, and dedicate massive percentage of brain completely free of outside distraction.
