T.A B.! damn thats a tasty idea. makes sense that music would be so prominent in dreams...especially since music is a primal habit long entertained by the human race even before language and spoken word was traced...plus other animals share in our musical abilities which they fluently flaunt within a tame range of arranged patterned sequential notes/ frequencies; in other words. sperm whales and birds are good at rhythms, rhymes, and chimes as well. i wonder if whales hear music in their sleep? for that matter, do whales sleep?
plus to give this theory credibility...i do write music. i am very musical in my waking life. by hobby i am a vocalist and composer. so there IS a correlation. what about you?

style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) no wonder. huh. it actually solves a mind boggling puzzle i had, and that was...that when i exit my physical body, it is usually in conjunction with the music which is always greater than myself, a part of myself, and separate from myself...it has a tremendous power over me. however, it is not impossible to ADD your own personal threads of harmony into that atmosphere which often times persuades the music to take a turn otherwise unanticipated.
one such time i overheard two serenading violinists split into the awe inspiring silence, shedding their sweet stradivariun voices through the darkness unto my paused ear...overlapping each other like lonely waves, one on top of the other striving to mesh in two, finally to conjoin in that sorrowful silence at the end, a gentle hush of cathartic release...and then i had to go and say 'very well done ladies...a fine piece!' and out of the hush came an empathic gasp of surprise at my acknowledging their song. i clearly got the message that they thought it was a private, intimate sitting and they did not expect a peeping tom. perhaps this 'devachanic world' allows for mental and spiritual connection with people, much like its shadow, music entails. perhaps one of the best keys to empathic connection between two people is the expression and reception of song. -v
