Yes. I find the majority of my prog dreams quite pleasurable. Occasionally the wurm turns and I find myself playing guitar on stage. Anxiety ensues when, I realize Progachives will lambast YES and "Yours Truly" for displacing Steve Howe. YIKES!

No, never.
In fact, there is never music of any kind in my dreams.

Very few times I dreamed melodies which ended up being from sogs I already knew. I'm no Paul Mc Cartney.

I wish I could mic up my dreams in some magical way. I've heard some of the most interesting music in my sleep. I am not sure I can describe it though. Some of it could probably be listed on PA.
Other times music simply invades my dreams. I've heard the full Atom Heart Mother suite a couple of times like that. |

Prog dreams about me.
One time I dreamed I found a pack of Belmont cigarettes on the sidewalk; I woke up and walked down the street...and found a pack of Belmont cigarettes. That was by far the most progressive dream I've ever had. |

I just had a dream last night where Mike Oldfield was playing a early 80s Tangerine Dream style composition. The strange thing is that he looked like he did in music video where he mimed playing Heaven's Open for a German studio audience and he was playing an instrument I can only describe as a large circle made of looped corrugated plastic hose that was played by expanding and contracting sections of the hose, which resulted in LED lights turning on and off within the hose.

Never thought of it that way. mostly (I imagine!) because I do not think of music as "progressive" or "this or that" at all. My dreams bring out a lot of what I write, be they poetry or short stories, and Iwork with them a lot, and pay special attention to the non-rem (whatever they are called, right?) stuff, since the first level is a mish-mash of daily stuff. However, in many of those I have been with Daevid Allen and on his workshops and I did not play a guitar, but was able to communicate and talk and create words for the music that was being created at the time. For me, that is a far out thing, since being "tuned" means that one can feel what/where things might be, and how to interpret them. A couple of other entertaining moments, have been a very long discussion with Edgar Froese about art, and how he saw it (he kinda didn't in a way! He thought most of it was just a moment in time, not art). A few others will remain private as this is all part of a book I am putting together of things that (FOR ME) explained some levels in music that have no definition. Another great example, and hopefully you can go through it one day, is Peter Brook's "The Tightrope", and I have seen many a rehearsal and concert by King Crimson, in exactly the same way, and it is the main reason why I mention a lot of times, what might be the process of how King Crimson comes alive and creates music. On his own, by himself with his electronics, RF is a completely different person, and he merely allows the sound to take him anywhere it goes, and to me, that is far more interesting, because as individuals we can go further than we can as a group ... it is much more difficult to "come together" than it is to come apart. None of this is "progressive" for me ... as I consider this all a part of our life, be it called "inner" or "outer"m since, in the end, it is exactly the same person, and we really do not have any criteria to define one as true and the other false, or vice versa.

I also have prog in dreams occasionally. In one dream, I heard a King Crimson song Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "The Power of Love" was a cover version of, with Mellotron and all that. In another, I was in an Elven city, and a band of Elves played Yes-like music.

I remember hearing the intro to "On The Backs of Angels" as if it was played by a string orchestra, which was at the time before Dream Theater's self-titled album was released (and had an actual orchestra in two tracks).

I remember I dreamed I was playing Xanadu on guitar (the Rush song, not that one by Olivia Newton-John). Must have been back in 1981 or 1982. When I woke up, I tried to reproduce it and this worked out quite well .
That was the only time I dreamed in prog, as far as I can remember. Edited by someone_else - May 03 2017 at 09:09 |

Prog (or any other music... which means some classical and rock) dreams only while awake.
Never jazz. Oh well too bad never mind. |

Actually very quiet and do not say much ... in the 3 hour acting exercise, I did not say a single word in 3 hours, and even the professor wondered why the quietness ... and I said ... do not the expressions, movement and actor details count on the stage? It tells you that we're too tied to words, and not the rest ... I took lessons from a blind person, and a mute person ... and to me, they still are, today, some 35 years later, the very best teachers of acting, theater and music I have ever seen or had the pleasure of spending time with. We have nothing to gain from Rachel Flowers, do we?

Every night.
Oddly enough I had a dream about Starcastle last night. Freud would have a field day with that.

I have probably had about 30 dreams over the years with some prog rock character in it. I dream almost every night so it's not like it's the predominant theme. I've had some dreams with Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Paul McCartney, too. Too bad never had one with a classical composer, that I can remember.

I've dreamed/heard-when-patially-asleep a few times but I wouldn't say it was prog. The first and most intense time was really, really grand classical music on many stringed instruments (I think). Then sometimes I when I fall asleep thinking of a band I'll wake up hearing lyrics sung in the style of that band (it's awesome because it's like the two halves of my brain are working together faster than if I tried to concentrate on something. But I always forget it shortly after waking up) aaaand semirecently I heard some rock with a neat riff and solo.
