So, fun fact, when most people are able to recall whatever incredible idea or artistic vision they had in their dream, they soon realize that it was just their memory replaying something that already existed. An obscure song that you forgot about, a scene from an old movie that you’d think would make for a funny comic strip, etc. Now, this doesn’t mean that people aren’t creative and can’t dream of new things, it just means that your dreams just churn out a vomit of things you’ve processed before.
Source: I made it up
I was going to object, I’ve definitely heard songs in my dreams with fully comprehensible lyrics. I’ve woken up and immediately googled the lyrics and couldn’t find the song at all. I found one with the same title that I had heard of but it was completely different.
The closest I’ve gotten to randomly coming up with music like that when awake is by singing songs in a different tune, but even then the tune was metrically the same. Came up with some bangers doing that, actually.
Gene is that you?
Lol came here to mention this as well
Anon is Mozart and Salieri at once.
I can’t be the only one who thought of Cloud Atlas?
Your brain sometimes just leaves a placeholder and makes itself believe it was the real shit. Once I had a dream of a hilarious joke. I even laughed hard in my dream. I woke up, tried to remember the words immediately and it was gibberish.
It does work sometimes, but there’s a good chance that you just had a dream about placeholder for one weird song, placeholder for another weird song and placeholder for mix, and the illusion just worked.
OR we’re in an alternate universe where the famous composer of the millenium doesn’t actually remember that visionary song, loses motivation and becomes an accountant. It’s about fifty-fifty.
If they can’t remember it, they could always make a tribute…
