I've started listening to Christmas songs by Bing Crosby before going to sleep. I truthfully had nothing better to listen to so I decided on putting on something completely random. It turned out to be a good choice.
Listening to him puts me in a weird warm, trusting and comforting mood. I wish I had a man in my life who has this ability, voice and talents so I will forever be inspired by him, feel at ease and feel like I have a comforter around me hugging me every night and day. It's an odd discovery I made, I sleep better, dream whimsically and am lulled to sleep by his soothing voice. As lame as this sounds, it feels like Christmas, like a promise of everything being better. Is this strange?
I wonder if listening to music while we're unconscious influences us differently than hearing it in waking life does. Have you ever tried listening to books on tape in your sleep? I've always been curious to try that...
ReplyDeleteSee for me sometimes it seeps into my dreams and incorporates itself in it. It depends on the timing I guess. I've listened to a lot of books on tape but the only time it ever made a difference was with a song. I remember my ipod was on shuffle one day and it went to a Backstreet Boys song and I don't know why I still remember this but in my dream, they were performing and all of a sudden something unknown attacked and they found me and asked for my help and we were all running around in the dream world together trying to uncover the unknown and mysterious monster. Then I woke up and a Backstreet Boys song was playing! Just one song mind you and in my dream it felt like a week passed.
ReplyDeleteThere's a term for it, let me try to find it.
