Yes, I've dreamt in Music a few times. I don't like it cos I can never
recall enough to write any of it out - I can recall what I see, feel
and speak about well enough, but the music is elusive. Not too long
ago I was able to remember enough of a long concert piece to write out
the opening few bars, which was a nice trombone (or bass trumpet or
some other mid to low brass) solo. Wish I could remember the rest!
Well, I recall the instrumentation (and that was pretty strange!)  but
not the pieces played. Not precisely the same phenomenon, perhaps...
