Day Dreams

Dreamers believe that if you ask any question just before you sleep, and it will be answered. The world of dreams is interesting for us. Dream theories are conceived as imagery but in literature and music, its symbolism is varied. Singers and songwriters may offer a realistic perspective with surreal or bizarre lyrics. The varying natures of dreams are often expressed with desires and anxieties. Self-awareness and inspiration are showcased through dreaming themes in songs.

 Songwriters and poets use symbols and motifs that are creatively presented through lyrics that talk about dreams. Varied aspects that pertain to reality, perception, illusion, fantasy, expectation, and imagination are showcased in songs with dreams in the title. In different genres, dreams are portrayed in a magical, exciting, melancholic, frightening, sexual, surreal, or adventurous manner. Obsessive tendencies related to dreaming are showcased with dark humour and sarcasm in certain songs.

The way a subconscious mind relates to an elusive state of perception and reality is portrayed with varying degrees of escapism in songs with concepts. In music videos, the visual nature of dreams is showcased with locations, characters, people, objects or artifacts blending into each other. These images are often reflective of a person’s experiences and memories. Dimensions and new worlds showcased in dreamlike sequences are exaggerated or bizarre in their form. Although a wide range of attributes is associated with dreams, in songs, dreams may symbolize or signify: 

·       Emotions

·       Joy

·       Fear

·       Happiness

·       Anxiety

·       Insecurity

·       Hope

My hope is that if you can ask any question before you sleep that by the mornings you will be answered. But mornings your "hearing" is often best so asking your question in the morning and then daydreaming may help you find your answer. Yes, we can hear you now, can you hear your answer in your dreams?
