My brain is a complete and utter troll. Every once in a while (and it happened last week), I'll come up with a really good, original song in a dream. I could be playing it or listening to it in my dream up until the moment I wake up, then poof, I can't remember it at all.

It's not just me, then? I've had that experience many times. I've also known dream music to be excruciatingly bad (and loud), and I've known it to be wonderful, but completely unrelated to music as we normally understand it. I suspect that taking something home from dream music is a skill that might be improved with practise.

That sounds odd and funny to me, because I am the opposite. I can dream about trying like a dog to write out a chord, or to figure out where a melody should be going, but in the dream it's all frustration.
Then I get up and with a guitar in hand, it's a breeze.
When I "compose", it is very often a matter of memory, but when I hear something coming through my fingers that reminds me of some song of the past - maybe from the Lovin Spoonful, maybe from Willie Dixon, maybe from Duke Ellington - then I try to recognize it and do something different with it. Taking their snippets and rearranging them is not pure creation, but it does create.

My life has improved immeasurably since I ought a decent portable stereo digital recorder,
So long as I remember to take it with me when walking the dogs!
All that fresh air and lovely countryside seems to get me off on lyrical muses better than anything else.
