An interpretation of music dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Music in a dream can connect closely with mood and emotion. It can express the thoughts you can’t consciously express and the emotions you can’t consciously feel. You have a DJ in your head that has access to every song you’ve ever heard, and that can pull out the right one at the right time to perfectly match the situation. Music can express harmony or disharmony within yourself. To hear beautiful, harmonious music can mean you are experiencing positive emotions. Your life is harmonious, especially your inner life. Disharmonious music can indicate negative emotions, or express the state of your mind or life. It can tap into the deepest layers of your being. Music can tie in with the subject of the dream. For example, the song “Material Girl” by Madonna is heard in a dream, a song the dreamer would never listen to voluntarily, and hearing it sums up his thoughts about living in a material world but seeing through it to recognize the beauty of it, too. The dreamer lives in a rundown urban neighborhood. It makes him feel pessimistic, but shifting how he views it helps him to see the beauty in the people and the ways that nature expresses itself in urban environments. The song is the catalyst for a flip in his perception. If you wake up with a song in your head, pay attention to the lyrics—they could have a message for you—and also to the song’s general mood and tone. For example, feeling energetic could be reflected in waking up with a techno beat in your head. Feeling angry could be symbolized by Death Metal. See also: Ears, Emotions, Hearing N
