Strangeness

My dreams have certainly been shaped by what I am watching and reading right now. Since I little to no social life right now, my daily interactions are mainly with the TV, the Internet and all the stuff I read in books/mags/newspapers. Throw in the occasional conversation with family and friends and that pretty much rounds out my day. All of these interactions have contributed to the main themes of my dreams for the past two months. However, a rather unique experience has been happening for the past couple of weeks or so.

I can't remember when it started exactly, but it doesn't really matter at this point. What is it that is so unique you ask? When I wake, I have a sound track playing in my head the second I realize I am no longer dreaming. Every morning for about the past 14 days I wake with a song playing in my head. Sometimes is only stays for a few seconds, sometimes for minutes, and rarely it stays "with me" through the day. Today is a day where it did just that. And not only did I have one song that kept popping into my brain, but two! Totally new phenomenon. These songs are new and old, mainly rock of some sort. Today it was CCR - Run through the Jungle and a current song that I don't know the name of (an now I can't remember the lyrics) but I will know it when I hear it.

What does this mean? I have no idea. I haven't been listening to much music lately, and certainly nothing as varied as the soundtrack in my head. The other morning it was a Poison song (I think) that was playing, another morning it was an old pop song sung by a woman. I even turned the radio on this morning to see what was playing just incase it was the song playing in my head. It wasn't. LOL But who knows, maybe somewhere, some radio station was playing that song at the particular moment in time. Hmmm....I have been having interference problems with radio signals that past couple of years when I get in line with the signal....LOL Nah.

Well, I don't know what to make of it, but I am certainly enjoying this musical accompanyment to my life. Perhaps I should be recording what music is playing and see if there is a theme. Now that might not be a bad idea.
