Only in Dreams...

So I got an iHome for Christmas.  I have a desktop, not a laptop, and no $$ for a proper stereo/soundsystem, so the iHome is a mighty handy alternative.  It sees the most use at nighttime, when I catch my zzzzz's. 

For ages, I've slept with a radio playing.  I usually turn it down really low so that the pesky talking and commercials won't wake me up.  But with my dandy little iHome, I don't have to worry about that, do I?  I still keep the volume down for my sleeping, but louder than I would with the radio.  The result?  The music enters my dreams. 

Seriously, at least 3 nights a week, I'll dream about the songs playing.  When I wake up, I always go back through my iPod to see if the songs really did play, and yep!  There they are!  Dreams can be weird enough, but when you throw in your favorite songs, it really gets interesting.  I've had a couple of artist mix-up dreams.  For example, I dreamt I was at an Offspring concert, but at this concert, they were playing "The Night" by Disturbed.  In the dream, I thought it was a really strange song for them to cover.  In a similar dream, I was at a Weezer concert, and I kept thinking that Rivers Cuomo was sounding more like Jared Leto than himself.  And alas, when I flipped back through my iPod, there was 30 Seconds to Mars. 

Of course, I can't remember them all.  After last night's dream, which featured two songs, back to back, I decided to tell yall about my musical adventures in dreamland.  Last night, I dreamt I was driving down the interstate, playing the acoustic version of Muse's "Sing for Absolution," but I added to it, dreaming that lead singer Matt Bellamy had some false starts during an instrumental part.  I remember thinking, "Huh, I never noticed that in the recording before..."  Then I was at a friend's house, and he was showing me a video he made, which he had set to "Territorial Pissings" by Nirvana. 

I know this might be a boring post, but over the past couple of months, I've really started looking forward to checking my iPod in the mornings to see what I can remember dreaming.  So I had to share.

Oh, and speaking of Jared Leto...I dreamed about him last night, too.  Not in the way that a girl would like to dream about Jared Leto, but still any appearance by him at all is pretty nice, right?
