Does anyone else find sound tracks accompanying their dreams.

I used to wake up with a random song in my head. It would usually be an old song I haven’t heard for a long time.
It happened only several times, not always.

It think it happens to more people than we realize. And my songs too seemed random and usually stuff from the 20s & 30s in which I thought I had no interest. I think one of the clues that music plays in your head while you sleep is those days when you wake up with a tune in your head that dogs you for the rest of the day. My wife’s got it bad, and actually will start singing out loud midsleep.

Huh. I never thought about that. I don’t think so. But tonight, when I go to sleep, I’ll put a note in my subconscious to check it out.

I wake up pretty much every morning with a song playing in my head. And I’m conscious of music playing in my head during dreams.

Sometimes, but what sets my dreams out from other people’s is that the songs never exist in real life. My mind completely makes up those songs, and sometimes I even dream of myself composing songs. The songs usually stay in my head for the maximum time of 10 minutes. There is only one song that I can still remember, and it’s pretty depressing.

Usually not, but I did have a few dreams where music was playing from seemingly nowhere. One of the most memorable such dreams was that I was fighting a giant tarentula inside the basement of a cathedral. I was jumping and stomping on it, and music was blaring everywhere in the basement.
The band was ACDC, but it wasn’t a song that actually exists. It had high pitched guitar riffs while the singer was screaming “insecticide” the whole time. It was odd, as I don’t particularly enjoy ACDC. As well, spiders are not insects.

I’ve got just one distinct memory of music accompanying a dream of mine.

It happened when I was in high school.
I had my alarm set to turn on the radio instead of emitting a blaring buzz but this failed to wake me, instead ‘Hanging by a Moment’ by Lifehouse transmitted through the sky in my dream and put a dance in my step as I walked through a parking lot.

I’m pretty sure I have in more recent years, at least once woken up with a song randomly in my head but I can’t recall such an instance or instances indefinietly or if they had any relation to what I’d been dreaming.

Not exactly, but I have this thing that happens often. I will hear a great piece of music, could be rock and roll, or classical, or even jazz, but I choreograph figure skating routines, ballet dances, and, group dance/singing productions for me, my friends, and famous skaters and dancers.

For example, I might hear a great classical piece, and I can see in my mind’s eye, Michelle Kwan skating to it.

In other instances, I can see me and my friends, in a group up on a stage with spotlights and a huge audience singing certain songs. Note: none of us does or can sing. I would be scared sh*tless to even sing karaoke in real life. I love to sing by myself, but I’m afraid I don’t have a very good singing voice. I had a teacher in third grade who made me audition for the school choir, by going to the back of the room and singing directly to her, a song that I had to choose right at that moment, with no music, no written song lyrics, and the whole rest of the class could see and hear me. I choked. She didn’t let me join the choir. Since then, I’ve always thought I had a terrible voice, even though before then, it never occurred to me whether I did or not. I loved to sing before that incident. Not so much afterward : (

The saddest part is that I probably sang pretty good and I loved music then, and I still love it, but I have no confidence in my own voice, and I would be too embarrassed to take a voice class, or sing karaoke.
