Do you guys ever dream of music that you're writing that is something completely different from anything you may be working on at the time? This happens to me fairly often and I always try to remember the parts that were in my head. Every once in a while a musical dream wakes me up and I'm able to jot down some notes in my haze, but most of the time it just slips away into some forgotten place. The riffs and bits I do remember, though, usually wind up being pretty awesome.
I've created awesome music in my sleep, but I've never been able to faithfully remember/reproduce it upon waking. It's extremely frustrating.
I'm pretty sure I've dreamt entire songs out of nowhere before, then promptly forgotten them as soon as I woke up.
This has happened to me on rare occasions. Usually it's REALLY CHEESY for some reason. Like million breathy female voices with a harp kind of cheesy. Then there was this thing, that got stuck in my head long enough for me to make a midi rendition of it. The drums were not a part of the dream though. http://www.box.net/shared/latbq6moga
