This morning I was doing the toss-and-turn type of sleeping. The night before I had been thinking of words to a song I wanted to write. In one period of sleeping, where I was still a little bit conscious, I just started hearing this song. It wasn't a song I've ever heard... the lyrics were all being made up, I guess. But the song was just flowing, with rhyming words and everything. I was listening to the song as it was going on and I remember thinking the lryics could be better, but there were these two lines that were great (from what I remember). After "hearing" those two lines I got excited and I woke up. For the life of me I couldn't remember what any of the words were though. That's too bad, but I think it's amazing how creative our minds are. I guess it's all about learning how to access that creativity when you're fully concious. I'm hoping tonight my mind can pump out another song :) This time there will be a pen and paper by the bed.

i've had that stewart. this design popped into my head, so i grabbed my PDA that was sitting next to my bed and i scribbled the design into it. next day the scribble became a photoshop comp.

I wish I could scribble my blonde into a PDA and then turn it into a clone like 6th day....

I've learned that using not only a pen and paper helps in terms of writing and remembering songs, but also a recorder of some type, so that when your brain picks up a melody of some type, you can at least hum it out and try and duplicate it at a later date. Been doing that for years. Always have a recorder near me or in my pocket. I've done it all over the world, inspiration comes in strange times. Also, I've noticed that if you listen to a constant hum of some type, like an AC Hum from a lamp, white noise, etc. your brain will start making melodies, if that makes sense.

Groovy. Good luck with the lyrics. I often incorporate my alarm clock into my dreams and sleep right through it until I think it stops then I wake up.

I had a dream that one of these giant hornets was chasing me around last night.

Right at the peak of the dream the goddamn thing landed on my hand and was about to sting, when I woke up swinging my arm all over the place.
