The song was about an ex girlfriend, and I told her about it, but wasn't able at the time to play it for her. A couple of years later, I drove to her city to visit. I laugh now, when I think of the impression I made in 1974 Alabama, in an upper-middle class neighborhood, leaping out of a van, bearded, barefoot, long haired, carrying my guitar. Ah, but the stars in her eyes when I sang it for her.
who dreams music?

I did dream a song one night (I was 15)..It was very powerful, and stayed in my mind through the morning. Finally, during History class I couldn't take it, and wrote down the lyrics and the chord progression so I wouldn't forget.

This morning I had a very intense dream which awoke me, and I struggled to remember it, and though I tried, a Gary Numan song kept intruding onto my consciousness so that I was forced to give up (by my damn subconscious!).

I dreamed a song up last year in April, and while it has one of the best chord progressions, and uses chords I dont normally think to use, it has also been the hardest song for me to finish. The scary thing about it is that I had a lucid dream about a girl I once fancied named April right before I dreamed the song up.

i dream music, but not songs.
it's more like soundtrack
big orchestral swells or slightly more eerie with time stretched gongs and bells. I spend a lot of time in dreams wandering in barely discernable dark places -- at least the ones i remember
naturally the soundtrack just perfect
maybe i don't hear enough good sound while i'm awake
nothing is fixed in my head well enough to get it into a track -- once i put anything down as a track that fills my head and I can't remember what the 1st impulse sounded like

I've dream-composed a fair amount of music, including stuff that sounded incredible (to me while I was asleep). I also sometimes get sort of a deja-vu sense when composing, similar to feeling like I'm doing a cover of something I've already heard.

Since I hardly ever get a decent night's sleep these days, I don't dream about much apart from the girl I'm currently after.
Anyway, the Aphex Twin used 'lucid dreaming' to come up with SAW II. Being 'The Twin', of course, means that could be complete bullshit!

I often dream music... and think music whilst doing daily things.. like driving to work etc... Sometimes I remember them.. sometimes I don't... the ones in dreams I very rarely remember, though...

I rarely remember the tunes I dream about (sigh), but in the dreams, I often have an unusual interface--not quite a keyboard, but anywhere I play on this interface, the sounds and melodys are always perfect. 
I've heard of Music Concrete...is there Music Asphalt?

Sometimes, as I'm falling asleep I hear an entire song playing in my head as if I was listening to the radio.
I hear all of the instruments playing.
If I get out of bed to try to capture some of it it will completely dissapear as soon as I touch the first key.
All of my actual music comes from inspiration while I'm fooling about on the keyboard. It's not as good as what I hear when falling asleep.

And we can take this huge universe and put it inside a very tiny head, you fold it.
