Not exactly. In High Shool I once wrote a poem describing something like that, but I don't recall ever experiencing it myself. But I'm wondering, Teoh. Have you had any formal music training? Do play (an) instrument/s? Does this ever happen to you while you are awake? (ie a form of synethesia --- only not in the sensory (input) modality but in the output modality, ie when speech is intended, music gets planned instead). Interesting in any case.
