Didn’t LaBerge experiment with this? I’m not sure though what he concluded… I think it’s somewhere mentioned in EWLD or Lucid Dreaming.
Personally I don’t think there’s much chance that it will work. Even IF the music will somehow be incorporated in your dream, then you’ll probably notice it in some distorted way (for instance a strange barking dog or some guy singing a weird version of your music), like with the red flashes of the NovaDreamer. You must be very lucky if you recognize it in the dream. Still, good luck! I hope you dó recognize the signs and become lucid Let us know your results.
Someday I’ll find a way to setup treefingers to play in my sleep. Taht song is really trippy, and I always used to listen to it while looking at the forums, so I associate it with dreams.
My husband’s radio alarm goes off about 3/4 hour before I have to get up. Quite often I will go back into a dream, but I am fully aware of the voice of the DJ. They run a competition every morning and sometimes I dream that I am phoning up the radio station with the answer.
This is rarely enough to make me lucid, though, (but perhaps this is because I am aware that I have to get up soonish).
Edit: I’ve just noticed that DJ comes out as dream journal - not quite what I meant
I have the same experiences with radio alarm clocks. I sometimes fall asleep again during the news, In my dream I hear and see the news like in a television news broadcast.
