musical dream
I wanted to write about this earlier today, but I almost forgot. Have you ever had a dream in which you clearly heard sound or music? I mean, ok it's really hard to explain in words, but usually whenever I have a dream, I don't really hear the sounds. Well, ok no one does REALLY hear sounds, but you know what I mean right? Yeah you have conversations in a dream and even might hear music but you never feel it, the images are much more vivid than the sounds are, it's almost like you're communicating without words and just by thoughts, eventhough the images seem to be talking ... you know what I mean right?
Well today, at 11 AM, when I was taking a short power nap (!!!!) after a lot of work on the project (which i'm still working on), I had this really cool dream.
It was me, with a guitar. Now I have a guitar, but I don't really play the guitar, I play with it mostly. So, my strumming techniques are on par with a monkey's, or a robot's, or justin timberlake's.
So anyway, in this dream, I was there with the guitar, looking at the chords for "Moon River" (!!!!!) I think on the internet or something, and then I was playing it (I even knew all the chords), and I was playing it BEAUTIFULLY.
I mean, i could CLEARLY feel the sound, and the music playing in my ears, the DETAILS in the strumming, it was just totally weird in a good way. I was like, holy shit I'm strumming good. The funny thing is that eventhough I had a mini-obsession with breakfast at tiffany's when I was young, Moon River was never an absolute favorite or anything, I like it, but mostly cuz I loved Audrey Hepburn and the way she sang it. But in this dream, I was enjoying it soooo much, I probably hadn't enjoyed any music even in the waking world this much.
Then someone messaged me on MSN and my speakers were on and the sound woke me up ... actually it was Saba ... teehee :)

eeek! sorry! but you know what's funny. I was thinking about updating my soundtrack around the time I messaged you and i was looking through my music folder and stopped on Moon River (andy williams version) and almost changed the soundtrack to that!

That's really odd. I know some famous musicians have said that they get their ideas for song riffs/chords/lyrics from their dreams, but to dream that you can play so well and have it be realistic is pretty cool. Have you tried playing it in real life now that you've dreamt about it? :)

lego, partly because some books i've been reading lately i take dreams seriously, get on that guitar and give it go, zmenan saba's claim of running into that song as u were sleeping is strange, there's connection right there, sometimes i telepathicly dispatch my friends to call me, this kinda things are way neat
