You'll be Sorry you Knew that Dreams Come True

[steepholm]

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.

I'm not sure I've ever had a dream with a soundtrack. I'm fascinated by your remembering with sufficient clarity to reproduce it.

Are the images from your dreams clear enough to draw/paint?

Very spooky! I didn't recognise the tune, though there are faint echoes of familiar tunes in there.

How absolutely, eerily captivating. I think there's a short story in there, singing its way out.

It's giving me a broken icon instead of the music, but I agree with thinkum - you ought to write this!

Dear God. That's terrifying. And I don't recognise the tune, but am actually maybe a bit glad of that!

Listen again to the first few notes.

Late med or Tudor carol, variations on, I make sure of it. Which, I cannot quite tease out, but it'll come to me.

Wow. Your unconscious writes good music. I'm astounded you remembered it on waking.

The beginning sounds a bit like a tune from a Harry Potter movie.

Like others, I'm very much impressed that you can recall a dream tune long enough for recording it! And that dream sounds horrible all through.

You obviously have something on your mind. Ask yourself - What is worrying you?

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.)
