Do you daydream when listening to music?

Question

Krissy N- That is so cool. I do the exact same thing. When I was 15 I wrote an entire movie based on Styx's Pieces of Eight album. To this day I still get ideas from songs

Answer 1

Yes.

I love to daydream when listening to music, sometimes I use certain songs at the background music for a little story or scenario  I'm putting together in my head at random times

Answer 2

Definitely! I'm always making music videos in my head.

Answer 3

Yes, all the time.

Answer 4

All the time, I never get things done.

Answer 5

yes i do and aways have and now that someone asked i have not had the time to do that for a while, always on the go, but maybe i will make myself a little time ....thanks

Answer 6

Yup I end up making my own music videos if it doesn't have one

Answer 7

Yes, it probably happens 50% of the time.

I think up all sorts of things, everything, I suppose.

Answer 8

Only when I'm really tired and half asleep.

Answer 9

Yes. How'd you know?

Answer 10

I do sometimes. It's usually when I'm listening to a band like isis that tends to have very long songs. But in a way I'm still enjoying the music when I daydream.  

Answer 11

absolutely!!!!

sometimes when i'm driving in the car and i start to really pay attention to the words in the song i tend to get lost in it. then the next thing i know i've arrived at my destination and it's sad but true---i don't remember the trip there!!!!

also, a certain song may come on the radio and it can bring me back to an exact moment from the past and sometimes the memory can have such detail to it that i just go back with it and enjoy the memory and smile!!!!

Answer 12

I daydream while listening to music and while watching tv,that's when I write my best songs,perform my greatest performances, direct stage plays,movies,sit-coms, all mentally of course sometimes I draw or write or paint because of some of my daydreams while I listen to music or watch tv....Blessings Yahoo  

Answer 13

yes. a ton! you don't feel the music if you don't daydream about it!

Answer 14

yeah =)

Answer 15

Yeah, usually making up a vid for the song in my head, or thinking about whatever's going on in my life that relates to the song

Answer 16

NOPE, never, seriously. I have always benn complimented on my sharp awareness and keeping it in reality skills. I have never been a dreamer or I never really ever fantasize about anything. especially any kind of heavenly afterlife with angels streets of gold or any of that

SH**. In short I am a 110% full blown REALIST.

I have always been told that I have high and above average awareness skills so I don't ever really slip into dream land that much unless its sleep triggered and oriented so I may dream in my biological sleeping needs and its always some really strange odd bizarre S**

Answer 17

i do indeed. i think about how i could write a story, or a movie script, to the song that i am listening to. right now tis coldplay - fix you. what do you think you could get out of that song...boy let me tell you, a whole lot of love and/or heartbreak. :)

Answer 18

I concentrate on it a lot, but sometimes when I'm in the daydreaming mood, I'll tend to dose off :)

Answer 19

Oh yeah all the time

Answer 20

yeah.haha.for awhile i thought

i was the only person who did.

Answer 21

Good question.

For the most part no, unless you count visualizing. Like if I were to hear "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", I picture all the things they mention.

Answer 22

Every time you see me with my Ipod, Im off in space in a matter of seconds.  

Answer 23

All the time!

Answer 24

no

Answer 25

I sometimes write little shorts based on songs.  Mostly Metallica.  I'm forming one around The Day That Never Comes right now.  

Music can sometimes be like...a hallucinogenic.

Answer 26

Constantly!

Music {of many genres} is the backbone of that novel I'm trying to write, and the songs of two particular bands and a variety from others inspire my artwork...

This may explain why I don't drive : radio + me daydreaming = car wreck!

Answer 27

yeah.

i'm writing (or trying to) write a novel, and whenever i hit a song that really hits a chord with me, or really fits a certain scene i'm thinking about, i like to play that one over and over.

so yeah, i kind of envision what's going to happen in my head.  

Answer 28

All the time! And then I'll find I've listened to at least 5 songs without concentrating on them, and then I go back and listen to them.
