What are possible meanings for dreams of music?
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.

This dream made me understand what love feels like.
About 2 months ago I had a dream that I was still in high school (currently I’m 19 and not going to school). Now when I was in high school I was always that one weird edgy/insecure kid that sat in the back of classes always wearing a hoodie, listening to music, not having any friends and sleeping through my classes (still somehow passing, though). Towards the end of my senior year my dad got a new job and couldn’t pick me up from school as much and since I couldn’t afford a car I relied on my 2 friends and brother that all graduated a year before me.
In this dream when school ended around 3:15 I texted my rides asking if they could come get me (regretfully as I always felt like burden to them). When I got no response I decided I would just stay sitting out in front of the school since it was a nice day and eventually walk home if nothing else happens.
I guess there was some after school event because there was a lot of activity in the parking lot after the sunset and people were starting to leave from said after school event. As I sat there watching cars pass by me I became more and more depressed by the fact that none of them saw me or they just ignored me.
After the main crowed left there was one car that stopped and asked me if I needed a ride and coincidentally it was my high school crush at the time. I got in and told her my address, we talked for a bit until I started to drift in and out of sleeping (in my dream not irl) while the song “circles” by post Malone played on the radio and she gently hummed/sang to it.
At some point I leaned over and rested my head on her shoulder as I felt her hand slowly reach over and grab mine. I felt nothing but pure bliss in that moment. It was such a pleasant dream that It turned a song that I once hated in real life for being over played into a song that I now love and consider to be one of my favorites.
I’m sorry for the long read but I really need to share with someone that isn’t my girlfriend, I don’t want her to be upset that she wasn’t the girl I dreamed about. I hope my writing isn’t too bad I’ve never been one to tell stories.

I had a dream where I uncontrollably shit my pants for more then a couple of hours...
I might delete this because I can't be bothered creating an alt, but I have to share this somewhere since I just had this dream.
---------
Dreamstart-
I was playing videogames (LAN) with some friends. An attractive girl there complimented me for my music choices (don't know the girl) and suddenly out of the blue, I shit myself.
I run into the restroom to clean up, shitting some more, then when't back outside. Immedietly after I get outside, I again start shitting myself.
The dream gets hazy but I remember walking around, with shit in my pants, going up to my father and asking for help. He almost vomited and couldn't stand near me and said something like "Hell no I am not giving you a lift with this smell". I sort of didn't argue with that and just kept running, still shitting my pants.
Then I am in a fancy hotel, and I am knocking on someones door to beg them to use their bathroom. Once I am stepping inside, they notice the smell and I keep saying "Somethings fkt up with my stomach". I get to the bathroom, and its like a glass cage in the corner of the main room, and there where people having a party.
So I am in that glass cage, which has a shower and a toilet, standing under the shower, cleaning, pooping, scooping poop into the toilet. And outside, in the apartment in the main room, where people having a small "party". At first they where disgusted, but shortly after, and for a while they were laughing. I didn't feel ashamed, just frustrated, because I had no control over this. But I was angry.
So angry that at one point, the people in the party got an elderly couple from outside to see what was going on. The old lady goes all the way to the class cage, opens it, all while mockingly laughing. But she steps inside. So in my rage, without thinking I take a scoop of shit from the toilet (which for clooged to the brim with shit) and covered her whole face in it. She was laughing the same the whole time.
Then I wake up.
Can someone help me decypher this? Is this just a random weed dream or is my head telling me something?

i had a dream while being awake?
so i was sitting on my kitchen floor, often where i sit when im overwhelmed or feeling something very strong, as i was. suddenly i closed my eyes and began to take slow breaths and I started to see lights, in my eyes, while they were closed, i think i must’ve hit some state of meditation because the lights began to turn into pictures and i started to see things as if they were real, and i was in an incredibly calm state. i saw a picture of my dear sister i had recently taken of her and she began running in a grass field, smiling and dancing and i heard music in my ears, as if i wasn’t even in the room that i was in any longer. it was so vivid. after a while of seeing these joyful things, i opened my eyes and something told me to close them again. with a smile, i closed my eyes. again, effortlessly, i saw 3 neon pink lines across my vision. they turned into arrows and i saw myself in a large room, standing high in the air, on a bridge running on the arrows as if they were a treadmill. i was running towards an open door, but obviously wasn’t able to get there. i wasn’t upset by this. i accepted that i wasn’t going anywhere and i jumped down off of the bridge. i saw skeleton heads but it didn’t worry me at all. as i fell, water rose above the skeletons to break my fall, and as soon as i hit the water i grew a beautiful pink tail and transformed into a mermaid, i swam and swam with the skulls below me. it was shallow water but i was unbothered. i remember asking myself “is there a way out of here?”. the room was very tall, and circular but there wasn’t much room. i replied to myself “yes” and a door appeared. i happily swam towards the door and opened it. as i went in, there were more neon arrows and water, i swam across a long tunnel and saw yet another door at the end. i opened the second door to find myself in the same room again. with the skulls and shallow water. i didn’t know how to get out. i grabbed a skull and kept digging through them but they were unmoving, they kept popping back into place. i looked around me and began to panic, i asked myself who the skeletons were and that’s when i realized that would be me soon.
when i opened my eyes i was concerned but not anxious. im not sure if this counts as a dream but it really felt like one. anyone know what this might mean?

What could this mean?
Last night, I had a very confusing dream.
I was in the playground of my old Primary School, and I was with a large group of maybe 30-50 people or so. We were all wearing green t-shirts. We walked up to a group of the same size, all wearing orange shirts. Now, I'm not Irish or British, however, I love learning about both cultures and am very well aware of the conflicts between the two nations and their religious denominations.
So, anyway, I started to sing Irish songs such as "Black and Tans" and "Go on home, British Soldiers", and both green and orange groups started to attack each other in a huge punch-up. I was singing those two songs as both their lyrics sing about telling the British to either come out and fight or to go back to Britain and leave Ireland in peace.
First off, I'm not a racist. I love all people of all races, sexualities, genders, abilities, religions, etc.
I love singing Irish music, especially that by the Irish Brigade, as Irish war music, to me, shows courage, spirit and patriotism. All of which I have towards my own country.
So anyway, we started to fight the orange-shirted people (signifying the protestant Northern-Irish/ British), while we were the green-shirted Catholic Republic of Ireland lads. We fought, and I sang the songs etc.
I have joined and come to this subreddit community to attempt to make sense of such a dream. So I ask you, people, does it have meaning or is it pure malarkey?
Thank you for reading, have a nice day! :)

My brain wrote and performed an entire musical play in my head last night.
So, I had a very strange and unsettling dream last night, unsettling because I can’t write music if my life depended on it, but I guess maybe I can if I’m asleep?? I dreamed that I wrote and performed an entire musical play. I’ve woke up with songs in my head before, but they were nonsense, never anything clear and that made sense, and certainly never an entire play. Aaaand… I think there were muppets too. I don’t remember the lyrics except one, but I remember what it was about and it was dark af. Idk, I’m just a bit weirded out. Wtf, brain?
