I thought it might be nice to share a few good oneironautical tunes here.
What music gets you into a lucid dreaming headspace, or just takes your mind into other worlds?
I'll start the ball rolling, I love the work of Carbon Based Lifeforms...
DREAMSTATE FORUM IS NOW CLOSED - PLEASE ENJOY THE ARCHIEVED CHATS!
Listen and relax while you post...
Definitely this one!
Ok, so I am currently slowly, but surely, creating a lucid dreaming playlist. I want to make sure it is perfect before I share it. However, this song is too good to not post. Incorporates waves (for the dream-to-ocean analogy), crickets like falling asleep at night listening to nature, ambient dreamy sounds and space-vibes, and the album cover is a MOON. Moon challenge anyone?
Nice James, let's keep this going with new and old. Lyrics include "How can I live in this lucid dream"
New song I came across:
Bowie's album Low is one of my favorites, although I think it was for a sound track that may have not even been used. The last 5 songs are especially dreamy. They're old school synthy, lyricless, and meant to convey alien worlds in their sound, since they were supposed to be for The Man Who Fell to Earth. I'll leave one of them below, but the whole album is killer, just not completely dreamy.
Here is not a chillout, but a video with a continue false awakaning from the '90
Great tune try this got the album

Ok, so I have way too many to share all at once so I'll just share 3 of my favorites. Let me know what you all think of them! I'll probably come back later and share more as well haha.
First one was used as the trailer song for the video game "No Man's Sky". Makes me think about space & dreaming, feel inspired, nostalgic, a sense of wonder & peacefulness. (LOVE vibing to and playing this game as well).
This one is so pleasant to listen to and kind of puts me in a blissful trance. Definitely made for psychedelics, and although I've never tried any myself, I find a lot of psychedelic music awesome to listen to and translates to dreaming well.
This one has a dreamy, underwater vibe.
Ok I need to stop before I post 100 songs 😂. I'm working on a lucid dreaming playlist so maybe I'll post a link to that once complete, along with dropping a few tunes back here now and then. I'm really interested to hear what everyone thinks!
I was just listening to an album by The Verve, and there was a moment where I thought I heard the singer repeat "... lucid dreams ...".
Of course, I reality tested, and then I checked the lyrics of this song, and I was right. This song seems to be about lucid dreaming.
The song is entitled 'Catching the Butterfly', which reminds me of a technique Daniel describes in Are you dreaming?, called 'Catch the Butterfly'.
So maybe this 'catching the butterfly' thing is an idiomatic sentence in English (I never heard it), or maybe this is a total coincidence!

I personaly think that the song inexplicable is great for motavation
I don’t know if anyone here has seen the film Ad Astra, it came out last September and stars Brad Pitt. It‘s basically about an astronaut who goes out into space to find his father. It’s a really introspective movie and features a song called “To the Stars” (Ad Astra translated from Latin) which I find very powerful. Also, it’s composed by the great Max Richter.
Sharing a couple of LD-related songs you "maybe" didn't know you needed to hear.
I guarantee they will make you smile (for different reasons)
BTW, "Have You Ever Had A Dream" is my new ringtone 😂😂
That's a good topic! There are many musics I'd like to share, but let's give them little by little.
I've never listened to the kind of music you just shared, apart from some films soundtracks. And I admit that I like this futuristic transcendental style, if I had to qualify it. It must inspire interesting dreams.
The piece I wanted to share is a somewhat similar in the length and minimalism, but it is a very different place to be in.
It is called Music for 18 musicians, by Steve Reich.

I'm giving this link to YouTube, but there are multiple interpretations of it on YouTube and others platforms.
We can even get the chance to see it in a concert, as it is still performed... I swear I will one day
I'm lacking words to describe it - to me, it evokes a sort of last travel in a profound, timeless, and peaceful place, and it gives me nostalgia about this place, as if I had lived there thousands of years ago.
Such feelings can subtlely appear sometimes in my dreams, as if hidden behind the dream. But rarely as clearly as when I hear this music.
