You'll be Sorry you Knew that Dreams Come True

I've been having very vivid dreams recently, and while nothing could be more boring to relate to others, last night's was unsettling enough and I woke from it suddenly enough for me to want to record the end of it. The earlier parts involved missing children, dark woods and severed limbs, so let's not go there, but it ended far more spookily, with a chorus of ghostly infants singing me this eldritch music. I don't recognize the tune, but could well have dredged it up from somewhere - any ideas? I've always disliked 3/4 time for some reason, and I think my id knows this and chose to twit me with it. As for the lyrics, all I remember is the penultimate line: "And you'll be sorry you knew that dreams come true."

And with that I started awake.

You are evidently destined to write the next great creepy opera with children, because that melody is awesome. It sounds almost like something I know, but not enough for me to identify it.

(Seriously, do something with it. It's haunting.)

I think I'm going to have to do something with it, if only to get it out of my head!
