name of dream: carmen
there were three things in this dream that had characteristics which should be brought to your attention
the first is the sounds of the song itself
it was bizet’s carmen
for those not familiar with the song you can treat yourself to it here
there were twenty or thirty people in this dream
we were in a circle and began to shuffle in a slightly stiff manner when the song began
then, when the chorus began, we began to move more fluidly and started humming along with the tune
each time the chorus came in we began singing in harmony with it
our harmony was at a different pitch to the song
we then started to ad-lib the words of the song and, believe it or not, the sound of the performers meshed with ours and the song took on an even more appealing sound
it was beauty in music
there may be those who scoff at the thought of the song sounding even better than it does
this is dream-time reality people
dreams are where your most daring fantasies can/will come true
the most relevant aspect of this dream was the chance to guauge how long a dream lasts for
those who know the song also know the song lasts for four to five minutes
this was the first time it has been possible to get an objective comparison of the difference in values of the sense of time in dream-time and the sense of time in awake-time
if this difference between dream-time and awake-time holds for all dreams then the difference in time-values between sleep-time and awake-time tells us that dream-time passes at least ten times more quickly than awake-time experiences
if i didn’t know the song and based how long it lasted purely on the dream i would have said the song lasts for twenty to thirty seconds !
