Holy crap! This happens to me all the time! Ill think of a tune, lyric, or even a chord progression that seems like genius, then go to bed/wake up fully and it'll be gone. It's getting them out at the right time that's hard. It's gotta be that your mind is more relaxed and not running at a high frequency cycle or something.
The musician as a clairvoyant... Romantic era thought. Really cool stuff temp:)
melatonin and kava together seemed to have a pretty profound effect on how much i was able to harness that. high kavalactone concentration in the kava, very low melatonin, like 1mg. i dont take either anymore and didnt take either for very long, but boy did it have an effect in being able to channel that lucidity. ive even noticed more recently that the way my brain works, i can hear a song even just once and somehow recall it in my sleep with the same or even more detail that i noticed when i was awake. usually its right as im waking up at the end of a sleep cycle these days. the brain is such a strange computer that it seems almost unfair or wrong to not take the cues from it when its resting as part of the experience of facing your essence and to try and take in as much as you can even if you're sleeping. then again, i guess i dont ever really feel 'asleep' as a result of that, ahaha.
